Modern fiction in the early 20th century saw experimentation with new themes and techniques. Novelists like Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and Virginia Woolf explored hidden realities and psychological depths. They used techniques like stream of consciousness to represent complex inner thoughts. Modern novels dealt with a wide range of themes influenced by science and war. They presented life in realistic, and sometimes pessimistic, ways. The fragmented structures of novels reflected the disintegration of society. Overall, 20th century fiction moved away from traditional forms towards innovative styles that captured the uncertainties of modern times.
Samuel Coleridge- Biographia Literaria Ch 14Dilip Barad
This presentation deals with chapter 14 of 'Biographia Literaria' written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It deals with his famous defence of Wordsworth's poetic creed, difference between prose and poem; and more importantly, difference between poem and poetry
An Apology for Poetry[7] (also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage. from wikipidea

Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his Biographia Literature considered that the mind can be divided into two faculties called as imagination and fancy.
Imagination is further divided into two types namely Primary Imagination and Secondary Imagination.
The Preface to the Lyrical Ballads is an essay, composed by William Wordsworth, for the second edition of the poetry collection Lyrical Ballads, and then greatly expanded in the third edition of 1802. It has come to be seen as a de facto manifesto of the Romantic movement.

Sir Philip Sidney (30 November 1554 – 17 October 1586) was an English poet, courtier, scholar, and soldier, who is remembered as one of the most prominent figures of the Elizabethan age. His works include Astrophel and Stella, The Defence of Poesy (also known as The Defence of Poetry or An Apology for Poetry), and The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia.
His artistic contacts were more peaceful and more significant for his lasting fame. During his absence from court, he wrote Astrophel and Stella and the first draft of The Arcadia and The Defence of Poesy. Somewhat earlier, he had met Edmund Spenser, who dedicated The Shepheardes Calender to him. Other literary contacts included membership, along with his friends and fellow poets Fulke Greville, Edward Dyer, Edmund Spenser and Gabriel Harvey, of the (possibly fictitious) 'Areopagus', a humanist endeavour to classicise English verse.
Both through his family heritage and his personal experience (he was in Walsingham's house in Paris during the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre), Sidney was a keenly militant Protestant. In the 1570s, he had persuaded John Casimir to consider proposals for a united Protestant effort against the Roman Catholic Church and Spain. In the early 1580s, he argued unsuccessfully for an assault on Spain itself. Promoted General of Horse in 1583,[1] his enthusiasm for the Protestant struggle was given a free rein when he was appointed governor of Flushing in the Netherlands in 1585. In the Netherlands, he consistently urged boldness on his superior, his uncle the Earl of Leicester. He conducted a successful raid on Spanish forces near Axel in July, 1586.
An early biography of Sidney was written by his friend and schoolfellow, Fulke Greville. While Sidney was traditionally depicted as a staunch and unwavering Protestant, recent biographers such as Katherine Duncan-Jones have suggested that his religious loyalties were more ambiguous. He was known to be friendly and sympathetic towards individual Catholics.

Poetry, he wrote in the Preface, originates from ‘the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’ which is filtered through ‘emotion recollected in tranquillity’.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Modern Fiction
The early decades of 20th century saw an astounding profusion of fiction by the novelists like
Henry James, Samuel Butler, Arnold Bennett, H.G.Wells and Joseph Conrad.
Henry James and Joseph Conrad were interested in the hidden realities of the heart.
Their novels are the earliest indicators of modernist trend in fiction.
3. Features of modern novel
• Variety and complexity of theme
• Realism
• New narrative techniques
4. 1. Variety and complexity of theme
• Novels have been written practically on all themes and subjects which appeal to modern readers.
• H.G. Wells was influenced by new scientific developments and in his famous novel The Invisible Man he
anticipates the modern science fiction.
• Because of technological and scientific advances, there has been a tremendous increase in science fiction
novels.
• But after 1914 a change crept into English novel.
• The uncertainty of the war and post war years is reflected in the concern of many novelists-ie, about the
disintegration of the society and the lack of positive optimism.
5. 2. Realism
• In modern novel all the facets of contemporary life, pleasant and unpleasant, beautiful and ugly have been
realistically presented with detailed accuracy.
• It presents the doubts, uncertainties, frustrations and anxieties of modern man. It is therefore pessimistic in
tone.
• It contains a largescale criticism and condemnation of contemporary values and of civilisation. There is a
frank treatment of love, sex and marriage in modern novel.
• The psychology of sex and psychological theories of Freud, new biological theories and methods of birth
control influenced the treatment of sex in modern novel.
•
6. 3. New narrative techniques
• The modern novel is incoherent and has a fragmented and non-linear structure as a result of the social and
political upheavals of the times.
• The I world war dislocated the fabric of the society. Thus the writer was compelled to alter the narrative
techniques to suit the changing situations.
• The very nature of life and thinking process become complex. This led to pluralities in the mode of
narration.
• They devised new techniques like the interior monologue and stream of consciousness technique to unravel
the workings of the mind.
• Thus the stream of consciousness novels of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf came into vogue. Thus the old
concepts of plot, character and narration were shattered.
7. Novelists of 20th Century
•
• Joseph Conrad
• Conrad is regarded as the most artistic of modern novelists. Conrad brought in a smell of sea and distant lands through his
novels. He was chiefly concerned with the response of man in the face of danger and crisis and also to situations that compel an
individual to make a moral choice. His own experience of the sea, particularly the Malayan water found expression in his novels.
• Conrad’s first two novels Almayer’s Folly and An Outcast of the Islands are full of promises of greatness. They reveal his own
experiences of Malaya.
• The Nigger of Narcissus, one of his finest novels, is a moving story of life on board ship. It is remarkable for its powerful
atmosphere, its impressionistic descriptions of sea-scape and its character study. In this novel Conrad tried two technical
experiments, the break-up of the narrative into small scenes and to give many and varied pictures of the same scene from diverse
angles.
• His next novel Lord Jim: A Tale , the greatest of his novels, introduces for the first time Conrad’s technique of oblique narration
(indirect narration, the actual words of the speaker, but, as related by a third person).
• His other noteworthy works include Heart of Darkness and Nostromo-A Tale of the Seaboard. These are adventure stories as well
as samples of the new direction in fiction.
8. • D.H. Lawrence
• He was the most outstanding literary figure between the two world wars. His very first novel The White
Peacock introduces his main theme, the unhappy human relationship especially between man and woman
• Sons and Lovers is a highly moving and powerful novel which deals with the relationship between son and
mother. It is an autobiographical novel of great artistic merit.
• The Rainbow was banned as obscene as it deals with man woman relationship. Sex occupies an important
place in Lawrence’s novels. He discards Victorian prudery and inhibitions in the treatment of sex and presents
an original, imaginative and modern view of love and sex.
• In The Rainbow, Women in Love and Lady Chatterley’s Lover he deals with conflicts and soul storms of sex.
His treatment of sex is frank, free and straightforward that The Rainbow and Lady Chatterley’s Lover were
banned in England. These novels were frank explorations of animalistic sexual impulse in man
9. • Virginia Woolf
• She was the daughter of the eminent Victorian scholar and critic Sir Leslie Stephen. Her marriage with
Leornard Woolf strengthened her literary career. Her first two novels The Voyage Out and Night & Day are
largely traditional. But soon she rejected the linear narrative mode and realism of the Victorian novel and
adopted the stream of consciousness technique. She used this technique to reveal the innermost consciousness
of psychic conditions of Jacob in Jacob’s Room.
• She focussed on the workings of the mind of her characters and looked upon the volatile consciousness as the
true reality. Her fiction is a conglomerate of reality and dreams with past, present and future jumbled together.
This technique was handled with great technique in Mrs Dalloway , To the Lighthouse and The Waves. Her
Orlando, a Biography was a great artistic work.
