Wordsworth Preface to Lyrical Ballads
Wordsworth's preface discusses his views on poetry, including that poetry is the breath and spirit of all science that propagates moral thoughts. Poetry that revolts against moral ideas is revolting against life itself. The language of poetry should be simple and from common people, not elaborate. Wordsworth saw the poet as having a greater knowledge of human nature and sensibility to passionately enter into other lives and translate feelings into words for common people, not just the elite. He defined poetic creation as arising from spontaneous powerful feelings that are then recollected with tranquility.

My Last Duchess Robert Browning
The speaker, the Duke of Ferrara, shows off a portrait of his late wife, the Duchess, to an envoy. He speaks proudly of the portrait but reveals that he grew jealous of the attention the Duchess gave to others, including the painter who created her portrait. The Duke implies that he took severe actions against his wife, suggesting he was responsible for her death. He dismisses the envoy to join others, showing his desire to move past his late wife and pursue a new marriage.
Chinua Achebe
Achebe argues that Conrad's Heart of Darkness is a racist work that dehumanizes Africans, portraying the continent as a place of darkness and savagery. Harris rebuts that Achebe misinterprets Conrad, claiming the novel intentionally parodies colonial attitudes and that its descriptions serve metaphorical purposes. The document's authors argue Achebe was wrong due to willful misinterpretation, misguided rage, missing Conrad's point that the work is about humanity's capacity for darkness, and failing to properly critique Conrad's portrayal of Africa rather than calling him racist. While understanding Achebe's perspective, they maintain Heart of Darkness is not an overtly racist text.

The ending reinforces the Duke's self-importance as he draws attention to another artwork, highlighting his wealth and power.

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.

This document provides an overview and analysis of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet "I think of thee!". It summarizes that the poem was written when she was engaged to Robert Browning but her family disapproved of the match. The poem uses an extended metaphor of Browning representing a palm tree and the poet's thoughts being wild vines twisting around it. It expresses her longing to have Browning's physical presence replace just thinking of him. The sonnet follows a traditional Petrarchan structure, with the resolution coming in line 7 to represent the poet's impatience. The last line "I do not think of thee" shows she no longer needs to think of him now that he is truly with her.
711 browning as a poet
Browning was one of the greatest Victorian poets admired by few but not widely popular. His work was enormously varied, including poems on art, music, history, and contemporary life. He could write short lyrics or long dramatic monologues with equal skill. As a poet, he had a threefold appeal - as a psychological poet, a passionate lover of love, and a believer in optimism. Browning was most interested in studying the human mind and soul, focusing on internal mental life rather than outward actions. He provided insightful psychological portraits of many different types of characters from various times and places. A core theme in his work was his philosophy that love is what gives life meaning.

The Victorian Literature
Hello! Readers. Here is my presentation on the Comparative study of Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning.
F.Y.B.Com LTL-Sem1 Poem1.aap
The poem compares the speaker's love to a red rose in June and a sweet melody. Over four stanzas, the speaker expresses the depth of his love for his bonnie lass. He promises to love her until all the seas dry up and the rocks melt in the sun. In the last stanza, the speaker bids farewell for now but promises to return even if it means traveling ten thousand miles. Repetition and hyperbole are used throughout to emphasize the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
