Matthew Arnold was influenced by Wordsworth and often considered a precursor of the modemist revolution and Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote in a unusual style and influenced a lot ofthe 1940 poets, Victorian era does not have a topic in the poems about love and worship of nature as the Romantics had in their poetry, Itis because the Romantics loved nature it was shown through their poems adoring and blessing heras ifshe ‘were God. But in the Vietorian poetry we have not found themes related to the topic ofthis paper, love and and what shape of nature because the victorians does not talk about her in their poetry, Therefore we will not relate this to with the victorians poets refer to in the descriptions of places in the poem And The Love and Worship of God, in comparison with love and worship of nature.

Then we are going to show two most important Victorian poets that refer to nature or that have aspects related with nature (ii) Characteristic features of Indian English Poetry ‘Ans. When we talk about Indian English Literature, itis obvious to mention Indian English Poetry, since itis the oldest form. The typical and actual India is beautifully being carved and described by Indian poets who write in English. Anew form of English poetry had been discovered by Indian poets by using indian culture, traditions, issues ‘ete and made the world know about them.

Context: These lines are taken from The Dead Baby by William Carlos Williams. Explanation: The speaker here wants to sweep not just the house clean, but ofthe reminders of death itself. A symbolic way of moving on from the loss is described through a mindless act of sweeping. What makes the loss all the more difficult to fathom is that the baby has died without any complications, suggested by the word “unproblematically”. The parents merely have a set of facts to comprehend their child’s sudden death. Just like how the medical discourse sweeps the death of the child “by force of the facts”, the patents are also expected to sweep the house of any markers that remind them of the lack of causality in the child’s death. This only goes on to show how both the parents are in denial of theit loss in the face of harsh reality and the terrors of life. The very act of ‘sweeping shows how the event has affected the parents emotionally although the father may not express it overtly. oan werd enongh and Tine, pc ans cal fi 3s by Andrew Marvell, _ Explanation: The fit tines of is Coy Mises * apoB bythe Serendip poet Andrew Marvell.

Believing ina God comes naturally for some, but for others, itis something that logically seems improbable. ‘What separates the two groups is that one group is willing to use faith asa tool to justify beliefS, while the other group denies faith as a valid justification. However, for those who believe in their religion, their faith is a truth to them because they choose to place trust in that faith. This is the key aspect in making religion relevant: believing makes the concept true to the individual, whether or not it objectively isso. In “The Canonization” by John Donne, the speaker expresses great love for his beloved. This love, however, ‘would not be possible if he did not believe in it so deeply, since believing in an idea is what makes ita truth for an individual. Throughout the poem, Donne uses the word “love” in the beginning and end line of every stanza.

Although love is @ ‘concept, the poem wants to talk about it in the context of how it exists in the world rather than construing it as some nebulous ideal. Thus, the speaker also indicates that the love in question is more special than the kind of love normally discussed, By constantly referring to love in relation to “my” or “our,” Donne gives love a unique meaning specific to ‘what he feels. Apparently, Donne expects the readers to catch on and conceptualize the poem through the lenses of this specific love. Ifone misses how love is perceived in this poem, the resulting interpretation could be different from tobe. Apart from the word placement, uses; i is “The Canoniz tthe first ine inthe fi “Fe may expect to. rething deeply reli r the fi ‘The speaker uses God’s name in vain, which is something that Bibl. i in the poem.

The phoenix is said to rise from its ashes after being bumed, so that the speaker mplying that their love will also rise back up after their death, However, this idea is paradoxical in the sense that their tove cannot actually come back, as when they die, ther connection ceases to be. These contradictions further prove Donne’s point about faith; although what the speaker is saying technically cannot be reality, his faith in what he is saying brings meaning to his words. If the speaker were to have no faith in his love for his beloved, then all the paradoxes would simply remain empty contradictions. By believing in his love, the speaker transforms these paradoxes to actuals. In the poem “To His Coy Mistress”, Marvell has sexualized love, and in “The Definition of Love”, he has spiritualized love. These two poems also show how time and fate play an important role in making love. But both poems are dealt with the theme of love, However, Marvell’s treatment of love in these two poems is given below: Aldvortisoment To get IGNOU Based Chapterwise Reference Books Including Many Solved Sample Question Papers for Various Courses Like B.A. B.Com B.A.Hons.

This is probably the best known poem of Andrew Marvell. It is a love poem in which he has sexualized love and the speaker offers a strong plea for the beloved to soften towards him and to relax her rigid attitude of Puritanical reluctance to grand him sexual favours. The lover, who may be the poet himself, builds up a really strong case and supports it with arguments which no sensible woman ‘can reject The poem has thus what is known as a carpe diem theme. Carpe Diem is a Latin phrase meanin the opportunity”. The full Latin sentence is "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero” which means: “Enjoy the present day, trusting the least possible to the future” Inthe Puritan period, virginity, maidenhood was valued most and the Coy means that the lady is not an easy catch. From the begining to the end of this poem the poet presents @ picture of physical love. Here we see thatthe poet laments over the short span of life whichis too short to make love, According to juman life is very much transientand within the transient moment of life, pleasures of love e solofh al tohis beloved to be softened towards him and to i -ad agaitist the background: OFDalit oppression from the Dalit feminist standpoint.

She needs to walk carefully. Itscems as if she is worried about an impending danger. Each step has tobe taken with caution. One is tempted to ask as to why caution is required. The poet observes “change” around her and looks out for it. As her gaze remains fixed on the changing currents, it appears that the poet wants to see what change will mean for her in the time to ‘come. The idea of change is mapped at this juncture. The tide has turned and the shift in situation is marked as one where the existing system has been toppled. The oppressed people have found a voice-that of protest. The resulting, change is that of protest against the inhuman atrocities the oppressed were compelled to bear. The post also maps Dalit histories by mentioning how they have been quiet all these years. They had been fed on what was traditionally thought tobe right. Clearly, who decides the right? The answer quite obviously is: itis the people in power. Advertisement To get IGNOU Based Chapterwise Reference Books Including Many Solved Sample Question Papers for Various Courses Like BA.

The Dalits are trained to accepting and giving consent to the ‘assumed supremacy’ of the upper caste people. Lanjewar’s poem is a protest poem resisting this idea. At another level we need to bring inthe Dalit feminist standpoint. This will help mark the oppression ofthe Dalit ‘woman-she is doubly marginalized as compared with the male. Her oppression as Dalit is coupled with instances of beating and torture both within the family structure and outside of it. That is why the Dalit feminist standpoint discussed in the previous section needs to be thought over. Lanjewar considers atrocities inflicted on Dalits as “unpardonable sins.” The treatment meted out to the Dalits will bear testimor i oppression.

She writes to bring forth the way in which patriarchal societies contain female bodies and treat them as property. But in her poetry, there is also a celebration of the female form. The woman's realisation of her body’s exploitation and the act of reclaiming it as her own is a significant marker of her poetry.
