Jones also viewed the masque as something to be used in educating people. This idea of art as an educative vehicle soon affected all the different areas of courtly life. Jones’s masque sets, for example, educated the audiences about classical antiquity and classical architecture. Jonson and Jones were the ones who gave the Stuart court an entertainment which linked poetry and moral philosophy to art. This was achieved by tying together the art of music, dance, poetry, and visually representing them in lavish illusionistic scenic display. In this way, kingship was

English literature

For example, as a young man of little experience determines to give the unarmed Grendel a sporting chance by himself using no weapons (which proved to be a fortunate decision, since Grendel is protected by magic against all weapons). Things go Beowulf's way. Conversely, as an old man fighting with the dragon, he is wrong expecting that he can survive as he always did. They both are doomed to death. `Fate goes ever as it must' says the poet. The course of life cannot be predicted with any certainty. One can hope only to foresee what is able and meet the unforeseen with dignity and resolution. That's the poem's deepest wisdom. A similar view of life is to be found in many other OE poems. 2. Chrst. Elem. In OE lit. The dream of the road. This poem stands supreme with its peculiar boldness and brilliancy. It describes not the biblical event itself but a vision or dream in which that event, the

(Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) De Crevecoeur, Hector St. John (17351813): FrancoAmerican Writer. With the publication of his Letters from an American Farmer (1782), Hector St. John de Crevecoeur became one of the eighteenthcentury's most influential commentators on American life and manners.

The Origins of American Literature

The origins of American literature The first Americans were explorers and settlers, adventurers and idealists who crossed the ocean in search of new opportunities or to escape the poverty and intolerance. Their writings were matter-of-fact accounts of life in America, which explained colonisation to Englishmen back in the homeland. An example of this form of writing is John Smith's A True Relation of Virginia, which is widely recognized to be the first example of Am lit. The early years of colonisation produced a mass of utilitarian writings including biographies, accounts of voyages, diaries, sermons, pamphlets. Much of the material addressed the problems of Church and State. There were few examples of fiction, poetry or drama

Philip Larkin’s Poetry: Themes, Form, Style, Imagery and Symbolism

to make a revision on the vision of Larkin through the studies that had been made on him, and on the basis of it we can say, that the voice of Larkin still clearly contemporary today. He is, in addition, acid, disagreeable, unpleasant, and we can catalogue these characteristics like the most appreciated by its followers. Larkin gives us through his poetry, a vision of middle-aged conservative, that in a politically incorrect way in our days, does not stand children, detests the life in family, he does not believe in anything and he does not wait anything of the life. He scorns the “literary life” and also the things that normally soften everybody: the romantic love, the memories of the childhood, the nature, etc. Keywords: Larkin, poetry, cruelty, suffering, nature Index Introduction 4 1.
