Christopher Marlowe was an influential English dramatist born in the same year as Shakespeare. He is known for plays like Tamburlaine, Doctor Faustus, The Jew of Malta, and Edward II. Tamburlaine tells the story of Timur and his conquests across Asia. Doctor Faustus depicts the story of a scholar who sells his soul to the devil for knowledge and power. The Jew of Malta centers around a money lender named Barabas. Edward II is Marlowe's most developed play and examines the downfall of the weak King Edward II.
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.
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.
An Apology for Poetry(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.
Ars Poetica, or "The Art of Poetry," is a poem written by Horace c. 19 BCE, in which he advises poets on the art of writing poetry and drama. The Ars Poetica has "exercised a great influence in later ages on European literature, notably on French drama..."and has inspired poets and writers through the ages
Dr. Faustus embodies elements of the Renaissance such as a yearning for knowledge, intellectual curiosity, love of beauty, and wealth and exploration. The play depicts Faustus' insatiable thirst for knowledge in various subjects at the beginning. His intellectual curiosity and desire for power and omnipotence over nature represent the spirit of discovery during the Renaissance. Faustus also desires wealth, pleasures, and beauty, which were valued during this period. He disregards the authority of the Pope and church, showing the questioning of religious institutions that occurred in the Renaissance.
Christopher Marlowe was an English dramatist and poet born in 1564 in Canterbury, England who wrote several famous plays including The Jew of Malta, Edward the Second, The Massacre at Paris, and Doctor Faustus before dying in a drunken fight in 1593 at the age of 29, though he also briefly worked as a secret agent.

This document provides background information on Samuel Richardson and his novel Pamela. It notes that Richardson was a novelist and letter writer in the 18th century.

The document defines epistolary novels as works of fiction written as a series of letters or documents. It provides examples of letters from Pamela and discusses how the novel's success helped establish the epistolary genre.
This poem parodies Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" by having the mistress respond to the speaker's advances. She questions his logic and wordplay, finding flaws in his arguments for intimacy. While he continues with metaphorical seduction techniques, she asserts her independence and skepticism towards his desires, ultimately rejecting his proposal in favor of calling a taxi.
Charles Dickens was an English writer born in 1812 who is considered one of the most famous authors of the Victorian era. Some of his most successful works include Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, and Hard Times. Hard Times critiques the negative effects of industrialization, portraying the dangers of prioritizing facts over imagination. It follows characters like educators Thomas Gradgrind and his children, as well as workers Stephen Blackpool and Sissy Jupe, and demonstrates themes of the conflict between fancy and facts. Through the use of literary devices like repetition, exaggeration, and irony, Dickens creates a denunciation of the inhumane conditions faced by the working class during the Industrial Revolution.

This document provides biographical information about Richard Sheridan and discusses the characteristics of anti-sentimental comedy, using Sheridan's play "The School for Scandal" as an example. Sheridan was an 18th century Irish playwright known for plays like "The Rivals" and "The School for Scandal". Anti-sentimental comedy, also called "comedy of manners", arose then to mock sentimental comedy and middle-class families, using techniques like wit, disguises, and irony. "The School for Scandal" involves rumors spread about Lady Teazle's affair with her husband Sir Peter by Lady Sneerwell.
The concept of imagination in biographia literariaDayamani Surya
Coleridge's Biographia Literaria discusses his concepts of imagination and fancy. He divides the mind into two faculties: primary imagination, which is a creative power that mimics the divine principle of creation; and secondary imagination, which relies on the will to recreate primary imagination. Coleridge coined the term "esemplastic" to describe imagination's ability to shape multiple ideas into a unified whole. In contrast, fancy is a mechanical, passive faculty that accumulates facts but cannot create anything new. Coleridge viewed imagination as the primary creative force in writing.
Literary Criticism - Essay on Dramatic PoesyRohitVyas25
John Dryden has given good criticism for dramatic poesy. Here in this presentation, I've put introduction of the original essay and Dryden's definition of play.
I.A. Richards was an influential 20th century British literary critic who helped pioneer New Criticism. He emphasized close textual analysis and believed criticism should be empirical and focus solely on what is in the text rather than external factors. Richards developed techniques for analyzing how words, metaphors, rhythm and context contribute to a work's meaning and emotional effects. He also explored literature's psychological impacts and believed it could provide readers with emotional balance and organization. Richards' works and experiments analyzing anonymous poems without context helped establish Practical Criticism as a new approach to literary study.

The document provides an analysis of W.B. Yeats's poem "A Dialogue of Self and Soul". It discusses how the poem depicts a discussion between the Self and Soul.

The modernist literature- to the lighthousePrinjalShiyal
This document provides a comparison between the characters in Virginia Woolf's novel "To the Lighthouse" and the characters in the Indian TV serial "Diya Aur Baati Hum". It discusses Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe from the novel, and Sandhya and Santosh from the serial. Mrs. Ramsay and Santosh represent traditional women focused on caring for family, while Lily and Sandhya are more modern and independent women pursuing their own goals and careers. The document analyzes how these characters portray different views of traditional vs modern women.
The document analyzes the use of rhetorical devices in speeches from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. It discusses how Brutus and Antony use ethos (appeals to credibility), pathos (appeals to emotion), and logos (appeals to logic) in their funeral orations to persuade the Roman citizens regarding Caesar's assassination. Brutus relies heavily on ethos by emphasizing his reputation for honesty and integrity. Antony is more effective through his use of pathos, stirring the emotions of the crowd against the conspirators through his rhetoric and actions. Both characters employ these persuasive techniques to sway public opinion about Caesar's death.

Samuel Richardson was an 18th century English writer best known for three epistolary novels: Pamela or Virtue Rewarded (1740), Clarissa or The History of a young lady (1748), and The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753). Pamela Andrews, the heroine of Pamela, represented Richardson's views on defined feminine roles and was part of common 18th century fears about women being too bold. Pamela was an immediate success in England and Europe, telling the story through letters of a 15-year old maidservant named Pamela and her refusal to lose her virtue, for which she is ultimately rewarded through marriage to her master.

3. Introduction:
Samuel Richardson was a Pioneer of
Epistolary Novel.
18th Century is Particularly known as a
Century of Epistolary Novel.
In Epistolary Novel It's always the Character
who speaks to us, It's always the Character
who Writes to us.
The letter form itself that one speaks about
It's feeling and emotions and It's suppose to
be Most private correspondence with one self
or a concerned person.
4. The real question is whether this new
form represents a variation on the
structure and conventions of romance,
or an abrupt, radical departure from
the form and themes of a centuries-old
genre. (Belyea)
5. Time and Work :
Pamela craze that swept through eighteenth century Europe and
inspired emulation in virtually every medium .(Turner)
During these time Morality level of society is very down at that time
Samuel Richardson write ‘Pamela’. A very Virtuous Character.
Contemporary Writers may not like his work so that's they write
allegory on It. Henry Fielding writes An Apology for the Life of Mrs.
Shamela Andrews, John Kelly Pamela's conduct in high life.
Richardson's second version of Pamela.
At that time writers were not fought on ground. But they write against
and criticize.
6. When Mr. B. plays the wicked squire , his physical touches always
indicate sexual aggression and the drive to establish a clear identity
as master.(Turner)
Pamela always stands for her Virtue. She opposed Mr.B at the
beginning of the novel.
She refuses to seen her as a property.
Pamela is a complex personality who moves from a naïve
adolescence to a composed maturity in the course of the
narrative.(Wilson)
In “Clerissa’ the Character of Clarissa is also virtuous but She
is also Bold enough to manage everything.
No one makes Parody on ‘Clerissa’.
7. Reflection of Author's life:
People are think like Charles II .
Samuel Richardson's was a Womanizer.
He was a Master printer and Official
printer of king.
If we are talking about his childhood, He
write Love letters for Illiterate women
when he was just 13 year old.
We can say Romance is his own life's
reflection on his Work. His habit of writing
letters from childhood. It’s given him to
ability of writing Epistolary Novel and he
can understand women’s mindset very
well. That's why his portrayed character
of woman is realistic.
Samuel Richardson expanded the
imaginative possibilities of the
familiar letter more than any of
his contemporaries.(Sodeman)
8. Virtue Revorded:
Pamela Prevent her Chastity and she
don't except Mr.B’s proposal as
Affair. But except him as a husband
by official Marriage.
She gets Happy Marriage life, that's
called her Virtue Revorted.
Clerissa is also a Virtues
Woman,But her Virtus aren't
Revorted like Pamela. She died
at the end of Novel before her
death she wrote Will and
declared what's happening with
her.
9. Rape and Marriage:
In ‘Clerissa’, Character Lovelace Molester and Raped on Clerissa and
then after under the pressure of Society he de
But Clerissa denied him.
Actions are Less :
Pamela wrights more and does less there is less of actions
and more of writing things and speaking.
10. New sentimental conceptions of
manhood, between allegiance to a
new ideal of domestic femininity and
fear of the independent female
authority that might issue from
it.(Campbell)
“You know not the value of the heart you have
insulted... You, sir, I thank you, have lowered my
fortunes: but, I bless God, that my mind is not
sunk w ith my fortunes. It is, on the contrary,
raised above fortune, and above
you.”(Richardson)
11. The eighteenth century developed a significant
interest in defining woman as a special being.
Women were not inferior, just different.(BRUNELLO
and BORSAN)
