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

RomanticismRomanticism was a movement of the 18th and 19th centu.docxjoellemurphey
Romanticism
Romanticism was a movement of the 18th and 19th centuries that marked the reaction in literature, philosophy, art, religion, and politics from the neoclassicism and formality of the 17th century. It may be defined as “liberalism in literature”, meaning especially the freeing of the artist and writer from restraints and rules and suggesting that phase of individualism marked by the encouragement of revolutionary political ideas. Romanticism is the predominance of the imagination over reason and formal rules.
Among the aspects of the romantic movement in English literature are love of nature (the most important—nature is the living garment of God), interest in the past (especially the Medieval period), individualism, a reaction against whatever characterized Neo-Classicism, interest in the common man and human rights, sympathy with animal life and children, and the idea of democracy. The Romantics preferred the simplicity of natural scenery to modern industrialized life. The Romantic movement in English poetry is said to have begun in 1798 with the publication of The Lyrical Ballads by Wordsworth and Coleridge. In this course we will examine the poetry of 5 major English romantic poets: Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats.
William Blake’s Poetry
In 1789 William Blake published his Songs of Innocence. These were poetic songs, printed in colored letters accompanied by decorative pictures intermingling with the text and hand painted by Blake himself. The environment of the Songs of Innocence is one of harmony, and Nature is undisturbed in her feminine role of tending to the needs of children. The world of childhood is an imaginative existence that is sympathetic and reassuring.
“Introduction to Songs of Innocence”
The “Introduction” to the Songs of Innocence is perhaps the single most perfect lyric ever written by Blake. It anticipates the poet’s intent to write songs that “Every child may joy to hear.” His very inspiration has come from a child situated upon a cloud who has at first requested, “Pipe a song about a Lamb,” then repeated, “Piper, sit thee down and write in a book that all may read.” The poet at the child’s wish has devoted himself to writing for “every child” in a book that all may read.
“The Lamb”
An important poem in the group, “The Lamb” deals with the figure of Jesus and is typical of Blake’s enthusiastic acceptance of New Testament doctrine. The first verse begins with a question: “Little Lamb, who made thee?” The second verse refers to the divine answer: “Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee…He is called by thy name…He became a little child…I a child, and thou a lamb, We are called by his name.” The unstated answer is, of course, the infant Jesus, the child and lamb in all of us, also the spirit of innocence. The lamb is Blake’s symbol of innocence. Note the poem’s simplicity of language and its easy flow.
“The Little Black Boy”
One of the most famous poems in the Songs of Innocence is “The L ...
LITERATURE I UPHELD- THE ROMANTICS AND SUBJECTIVITY: SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGERituparna Ray Chaudhuri
Coleridge's Treatment of nature and the Tranquillity : The phenomenal description on own thoughts regard me to describe Coleridge, along with William Wordsworth, was instrumental in initiating a poetic revolution in the early nineteenth century which is known as the Romantic Movement. Coleridge invokes the Divine Spirit that blows upon the wild Harp of Time. Time is like the stringed musical instrument on which the Spirit produces sweet harmonious melodies. Coleridge is perhaps best known for his haunting ballad Rime of Ancient Mariner, the dream-like Kubla Khan and the unfinished Christabel, but he wrote several other smaller poems, quite remarkable for their imaginative power.

Imagery, symbolism, and allusion
Imagery
Imagery refers to the creation of mental images – sight, sound, taste, touch – through words.
Imagery is related to the themes and ideas of a poem. Poets use imagery to create an experience that opens the reader up to the poem’s themes and ideas.
Types of imagery
Visual imagery uses words to create sights. In Pound’s “In a Station of the Metro,” the visual is that of faces in a station crowd. In Pound’s image, these faces are “Petals on a wet, black bough” (line 2).
Auditory imagery captures sounds. In “Preludes,” Eliot’s images of the city include the familiar sounds of inner-city life:
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. (lines 9 – 12)
Types of imagery
Olfactory imagery uses smell to create an experience. It’s quite direct in Eliot’s “Preludes”: “The winter evening settles down / With smell of steaks in passageways” (lines 1-2). And again: “The morning comes to consciousness / Of faint stale smells of beer” (14-15).
Gustatory imagery describes tastes. In “Ode to a Nightingale,” Keats describes pining for the taste of wine thus: “O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been / Cool’d a long age in the deep-delved earth, / Tasting of Flora and the country green” (lines 11 – 13).
Types of imagery
Tactile imagery relates to touch and texture. Eliot’s “Preludes” creates a cycle of urban life that connects day and night, work and rest, using images:
Sitting along the bed’s edge, where
You curled the papers from your hair
Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
In the palms of both soiled hands. (lines 35-38)
Kinetic imagery is images of general motion, while kinesthetic imagery is images of human or animal movement. In “Sonnet 130,” Shakespeare describes the awkward walk of his beloved: “My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground” (line 12).
Symbolism
Symbolism is the use of symbols to create meaning in an imaginative way.
A symbol is a thing that represents something else. Think of symbolism as using code to express ideas.
A word, an action, a setting, a character, a situation – all of these can be symbolic and, as symbols, significant to the themes and ideas of a work.
Symbolism
Symbols are often indirect and subtle. For example, one wouldn’t say that a character’s cough is a symbol for the character’s illness. The cough is a symptom of the illness and directly related to it.
Be careful how you use the terms “symbolism,” “symbolize,” and “symbol.” Often students use “symbolizes” when they actually mean “represents” in the general sense.
Identifying symbolism and symbols in works of literature is interpretation, and, like all interpretation, it must be supported by the text.
symbolism
Cultural or universal symbols are symbols that are common and easily recognized. Spring as a symbol for new life is a cultural/universal symbol.
Contextual, private, or authorial symbols are sy ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Symbolism
Symbolism is the poetic/artistic movement or style in which symbols are used to represent the
ideas or qualities. Symbolic meanings are given to the words and these meanings are different
from their literal sense.
It gives a writer freedom to add double levels of meanings to his work: a literal one that is self-
evident and the symbolic one whose meaning is far more profound than the literal one. The
symbolism, therefore, gives universality to the characters and the themes of a piece of literature.
Symbolism in literature evokes interest in readers as they find an opportunity to get an insight of
the writer’s mind on how he views the world and how he thinks of common objects and actions,
having broader implications.
There are some general symbols that are used commonly like
1. Dove is the symbol of peace
2. Black color represents the evil or death
3. Broken Mirror may symbolize separation.
Here, in this assignment, we are concerned with the poetic symbolism. In poetry writer uses
different tools like similes, metaphors, allegory etc for this purpose. For this purpose William
Blake’s two poems “The Tyger” and “The Lamb” has been selected.
4. Symbols in “The Lamb”
1. The Lamb
The lamb is the symbol of innocence and purity. It signifies here to the Christ and human
innocence. In the last few lines of the poem Blake tells the reader that Creator is in both of them,
in lamb and in child too. When a human is child, he is innocent like a lamb or Christ.
2. Clothing of Delight …. Softest clothing wooly bright;
These lines points to the softness of the lamb. Lamb is awarded by the clothing that is delightful,
soft, wool and bright. All these words have something in common which we can say is virtue.
3. Tender voice…. Making all the vales rejoice:
“Tender Voice” is the symbol of sympathy and love. The lamb is awarded with sympathy and
love that is letting the all humanity rejoice. It means Christ is the sympathetic to humanity and
loves the all humans
4. He is meek & he is mild:
Blake is signifying to the creator that he is meek and mild. His meekness and mildness is also
present in lamb and the child.
Symbols in “The Tyger”
1. The Tyger
“The Tyger” is the most confusing symbol in Blake’s poetry. Many critics have been evaluating
it as devil but it is not the case. “The Tyger” is not devil but another state of human nature. It is
experienced version of “The Lamb”. When the innocence is being affected or attacked by the
evil, then a man should be “The Tyger” to restore it.
5. 2. Forests of the night
It symbolizes the world of experience where many errors conceal the path and dim the light.
3. Immortal hand or aye
Immortal hand or aye is the symbol used for the creator.
4. When the stars through their tears
Stars symbolize angles. This may denotes to the fallen angels. They threw their spares and wept
on creation of the tyger and their defeat.
5. Tools of Blacksmith
Hammer, chain etc are the tools of blacksmith. Blake, in his all poetry, use this symbol for the
creator.
6. The fire
Fire has widely been used as a symbol of wrath.
Spenser wrote “Wrath is a fire”. Milton, inspiration of Blake, spoke of flames as the “Sign of
wrath awaked”. So Blake also used this symbol for wrath and he found some good in wrath. He
wrote “The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God” and also “the tigers of wrath are wiser than
the horses of instruction”.
He intends to suggest that the great purpose of wrath is to consume error, to annihilate those
stubborn beliefs which cannot be removed by the tame “Horses of Instruction”.
Conclusion
Most of the critics consider “The Lamb” as virtue and “The Tyger” as daemon but this is not the
right consideration. “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” are symbols for two different states of the
human soul. When the lamb is destroyed by experience, the tyger is needed to restore the world.
