William Blake as a poet
William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. He practiced engraving throughout his life but was also deeply interested in political and social issues of his time. Blake supported causes like the French Revolution and abolition of slavery. He saw imagination and visions as a way to understand the world beyond rationalism. Blake is known for his illuminated printing, combining text and images, and illustrations for books. His collections Songs of Innocence and of Experience use simple language and symbolism to contrast childhood purity with the injustices of adult experience.
Waiting for godot
The document provides an overview of the Theatre of the Absurd and Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. It explains that Theatre of the Absurd explores the absurdity of existence in a godless universe where life has no purpose or meaning. Waiting for Godot follows two homeless men, Vladimir and Estragon, who pass the time waiting endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot to arrive. Their dialogue shows how they try to maintain their friendship and identity through memory and conversation to avoid confronting the meaninglessness of their existence.
Look back in anger
John Osborne wrote Look Back in Anger in 1956, drawing on his own experiences. It follows Jimmy Porter, a working class man married to Alison from an upper middle class family. Jimmy vents his anger at society through bitter tirades against Alison and her friend Helena. The play was considered revolutionary for using informal language and portraying disaffected youth. It helped launch the "Angry Young Men" movement in British theater.
Tragic hero
This document discusses Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero according to literary theory. It provides characteristics that a tragic hero must possess, including being of noble birth and making an error of judgment rather than resulting from vice. Examples given of tragic heroes are Oedipus, who Aristotle cites as perfect due to his hubris and blindness to the truth leading to his downfall, and Anakin Skywalker, Daedalus and Icarus, Romeo and Juliet, and Barry Bonds. The document analyzes traits like goodness, superiority, tragic flaws, and realization of one's role in one's downfall that make someone a tragic figure.
Preface to shakespear
Samuel Johnson wrote the preface to Shakespeare's plays in which he analyzed Shakespeare's style and characters. Johnson acknowledged Shakespeare's genius but also discussed three main faults: immoral plots, disregarding time and place unities, and loose plots. Johnson argued that critics should judge works based on their merits rather than following outdated conventions. He believed Shakespeare followed the unity of action but intentionally disregarded the unities of time and place, which was acceptable for history plays depicting events over long periods. Overall, Johnson provided a balanced analysis of Shakespeare's strengths and weaknesses through a classic critical lens.

Anti sentimental comedy
This document discusses two types of 18th century comedy: sentimental comedy and anti-sentimental comedy. Sentimental comedy aimed to evoke emotions like pity and sorrow in middle-class audiences and was closer to tragedy. Anti-sentimental comedy, created by writers like Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan in response, dealt with upper-class society and evoked laughter through vulgarity. Examples given are Richard Steele's "The Conscious Lover" for sentimental comedy and Richard Sheridan's "The Rivals" for anti-sentimental comedy. The document also defines literary devices commonly used in these comedies like wit, laughter, farce, irony, and disguise.
Six parts of tragedy
According to Aristotle, there are six essential parts that make up a tragedy: the plot, which is considered the soul of tragedy; characters, with the hero being most important; thought, which proves particular points and teaches truth; diction, or writing skill; song or melody, with the chorus integrated into the play; and spectacle, related to stage performance but should not create a sense of the monstrous.
The way of the world
Dramas staged between 1660 and 1700 are called ‘Restoration Dramas’. The dramatic literature of the period was dominated by comedies called ‘Comedy of manners’. Actually ‘Restoration Comedy’ is used as a synonym for “Comedy of Manners”. The plot of the comedy, often concerned with scandal, was traditionally less important than its witty dialogues.
The comedy of manners was first developed in the new comedy of the Ancient Greek Playwright Menander. His style, elaborate plots, and stock characters were imitated by the Roman playwrights Plautus and Terence, whose comedies were widely known and copied during the Renaissance. The best-known comedies of manners, however, may well be those of the French playwright Moliere.
Oscar Wilde and William Congreve are the most celebrated authors of ‘Comedy of Manners’.

Aristotle's Poetics
Aristotle's Poetics is considered the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first systematic treatise on literary criticism. In it, Aristotle defines poetry as a means of mimesis or imitation through language, rhythm, and harmony. He discusses different types of poetry like tragedy, comedy, and epic poetry. For tragedy specifically, Aristotle says the objects imitated are serious actions, the manner is dramatic rather than narrative, and the medium is verse spoken in dialogue. He provides key terms used in tragedy like hamartia, anagnorisis, peripeteia, and katharsis. Aristotle also outlines critical elements of plot and structure for a successful tragedy, including unity of action, completeness, magnitude, and eliciting
A Valediction Forbidding Mourning : John Donne
The poem is an argument by a lover to his beloved not to grieve at their parting. The lover compares parting to death, saying virtuous men die peacefully, so they too can part without tears. The lover argues their souls are one, so parting is an expansion, not a break. Even if their souls are two, they are like the feet of a compass - when one moves, the other leans and heeds the movement, and when it returns, the two are united. Thus the lover persuades his beloved that her firmness will enable his safe return after his journey.
Rape of the Lock as A Social Satire
Pope's poem "Rape of the Lock" is a social satire that ridicules the follies and vices of 18th century aristocratic society through humor and wit. It satirizes young aristocratic men and women, portraying their trivial pursuits of fashion, beauty, and romance. Through the character of Belinda, it represents women as being confined to superficial acts like sleeping, makeup, and attracting men. It also pokes fun at men's weakness for beauty, as well as husbands' distrust of wives and judges' hasty rulings. The poem uses delicate satire to reflect on and aim to reform the artificial lives of 18th century high society.
An Essay of Dramatic Poesy -John dryden
The document summarizes John Dryden's essay "An Essay of Dramatic Poesy". The essay is structured as a dialogue between four friends - Eugenius, Crites, Lisideius, and Neander - discussing theories of drama. Crites argues that Greek/Roman literature should be the model and praised the ancients' adherence to the three unities. Eugenius agrees with imitating the ancients but thinks English dramatists have improved on them. Lisideius claims French dramatists are now better than the English due to their simpler plots. However, Neander disagrees, defending English dramatists' use of subplots and mixing of comedy and tragedy.
Aristotle's Tragedy
According to Aristotle, tragedy depicts the downfall of a good person through some mistake. This evokes pity and fear in the audience, which is the natural human response to suffering that could happen to anyone. For Aristotle, a true tragedy arouses and then purges emotions. The demise of the tragic hero must result from their own flawed action, not just bad luck, and a nobler hero will elicit more grief at their downfall. The hero must be good but also bear responsibility for their fate through some choice or decision.
The rape of the lock
The document summarizes Alexander Pope's poem "The Rape of the Lock" in 3 sentences:
The poem satirizes a real incident where a Lord cuts a lock of hair from a woman named Belinda's head without her permission. It is written as a mock epic in five cantos using rhymed iambic pentameter and deals with the vanities of humankind in a trivial situation. The summary outlines the plot, which involves Belinda getting ready for a card game, a fight over the stolen lock breaking out, and the lock ultimately becoming a star or constellation.
Doctor Faustus As a Morality play
This document discusses how Christopher Marlowe's play "Dr. Faustus" can be considered a morality play. It contains elements common to morality plays, such as Good and Bad Angels providing guidance to Faustus, the portrayal of the Seven Deadly Sins, the presence of the devil Mephistophilis, and a vision of Hell. These allegorical elements convey the moral lesson of the soul's struggle between good and evil and the consequences of giving in to temptation. The use of such symbols and allegories effectively positions "Dr. Faustus" as a morality play that warns against straying from righteousness.

The Rape of the Lock
Alexander Pope was a Roman Catholic poet born in London in 1688 who was self-taught and inspired by classical Greek writers. His masterpiece, "The Rape of the Lock," was written in 1712 as a mock-heroic epic poem satirizing a trivial dispute between two aristocratic families after a lock of hair was cut from a woman without permission. The poem uses the conventions of an epic, such as supernatural machinery involving sylphs and other spirits, to dramatize the trivial conflict in a way that comments on vanity and the disproportionate values of aristocratic society.
John Osborne, Look Back in Anger, Liceo Attilio Bertolucci-ppt Venturini-Ferrari
John Osborne's 1956 play Look Back in Anger transformed English theatre. It depicted the post-World War 2 climate in Britain through the tumultuous relationship between Jimmy and his wife Alison. Jimmy, part of the new working class, rails against the British establishment through his passionate monologues. The play innovated by taking place entirely in a run-down attic flat and focusing on the domestic lives of ordinary Britons. It explored themes like the decline of patriarchal families, class conflict, and Britain adjusting to its diminished global status following the end of its empire.

Romantic Poetry and William Blake
William Blake was a British Romantic poet active from 1757 to 1827. He experimented with a printing technique called illuminated printing or relief etching to publish books combining his written poems with engraved illustrations, most notably in his collection Songs of Innocence and of Experience. This work contrasted innocent childhood perspectives in "Songs of Innocence" with more experienced and cynical views in "Songs of Experience" to explore Blake's belief that the world corrupts childhood innocence.

Sentimental comedy definition and characteristic
Sentimental comedy emerged as a new dramatic genre in 1800s Britain. It was a reaction against the popular comedy of manners genre of the previous century. Sentimental comedies focused on pathos over humor and used emotionally moving situations to teach moral lessons to audiences, in contrast to the ridicule and satirization of morality in comedies of manners. They were essentially moral dramas driven by a sense of virtue throughout the story, replacing genuine comedy and entertainment with moral lectures and emotions of pity over wit or humor.

Comedy is a type of drama intended to amuse audiences. It focuses on society and features happy endings, stereotypical characters, and situations where the audience understands what will happen before the characters do. There are several types of comedy, including romantic comedy about young lovers uniting, comedy of humours based on beliefs about bodily humors, satirical comedy exposing society's flaws, and comedy of manners focusing on upper and middle class social intrigue. The objective of comedy is to amuse rather than make audiences cry, and it features characters drawn from everyday life rather than those with superior social standing.

Shakespeare2
Shakespeare wrote three types of plays: comedies from 1593-1600 which used witty language and romantic and farcical elements; "problem plays" from 1600-1604 that combined comedy and serious moral conflicts; and romances from 1607-1612 featuring supernatural elements and reconciliations. His plays drew from Latin and Italian sources and English folklore. Comedies typically featured mistaken identities and multiple marriages at the end, while tragedies centered on a flawed protagonist opposing fate, often ending in death. Shakespeare was influenced by Seneca's tragedies and crafted multidimensional characters and examinations of human nature and the challenges of power.

Over time, it evolved from biblical mystery plays performed by clergy, to morality plays performed by craftsmen addressing moral themes. It was influenced by Greek and Roman traditions. The first major English tragedies were written in blank verse by Thomas Sackville and the first comedy was by Nicholas Udall for his students. Drama became a popular form of entertainment as well as a way to critique life and understand society through stories, characters, dialogue, and themes portrayed on stage.

The document discusses the history of theater from ancient Greece to the Renaissance period. It describes that theater originated as a collaborative live performance for an audience, with two main types of Greek plays being tragedies featuring a character's downfall and comedies featuring light episodes.

Renaissance theater was more humanistic and adapted forms from ancient cultures like comedies, tragedies, pastoral plays, and masques for nobility.
Anti-sentimental comedy
Anti-sentimental comedy, also known as "comedy of manners", arose in the 18th century as an alternative to sentimental comedy. Playwrights like Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Sheridan wrote plays portraying the lives and interests of the middle class. Sheridan's "School for Scandal" is an example of this genre. Key characteristics include witty dialogue, portrayals of marriage for love and money, amusing romantic intrigues, and irony used to comment on society.
Shakespeare presentation
This document discusses Shakespeare's reputation and legacy. It argues that while Shakespeare was disliked by some thinkers for not engaging with social issues, he created psychologically complex characters and innovative plays that combined different genres. His works use beautiful language while also addressing intellectual uncertainty and the lack of clear moral lessons in life. Though mysterious as a person, Shakespeare's works remain profoundly relevant today through their exploration of the human condition.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
