This block consists of the following 3 units: Unit-1 covers William Black and his poem The Tyger. William Blake is a pre-romantic poet. He has a very individual view of the world. His poetic style, ideas, sensibility, and ideas contrast with order and control of the Augustans. The Tiger stands out in contrast to Blake's innocent Lamb. It is a symbol of strength and revolt. In Unit-2, we will study William Wordsworth and his poem Ode on Intimations of Immortality. He was one of the founders of English Romanticism. Unit-3 discusses S.T. Coleridge and his poem The Rime of Ancient Mariner. The poem tells the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea-voyage. UGEN-103/5 UGEN-103/6 UNIT-1 WILLIAM BLAKE : THE TYGER Structure 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Objectives 1.2 Pre Romantic Poets 1.3 William Blake : Life and Works 1.4 The Tyger 1.4.1 Poem (Text) 1.4.2 Glossary 1.4.3 Discussion 1.5 Let Us Sum Up 1.6 Suggested Reading 1.7 Answer to Exercises 1.0 INTRODUCTION In this unit we shall take up one of the famous poems by Willaim Blake i.e. Tyger. The poem is one of the famous lyrics of English language with the famous opening line of English language ‘Tyger Tyger burning bright’. The ‘Tyger’ was first published in William Blake’s 1794 volume Songs of Experience, which contains many of his most celebrated poems. The Songs ofExperience was designed to complement Blake’s earlier collection, Songs of Innocence (1789). However, we hope you will read the complete poem on your own. We have selected this short lyric. Before we discuss the poem, let us briefly look at some of aspects of the romantic and Pre Romantic poetry. This will give us an idea of the social and historical context from which this poem emerged. A quick look at the Life and Works of William Blake will not only introduce us to the poet but will also facilitate our understanding of his poetry. 1.1 OBJECTIVES In this Unit, we shall discuss the poem ‘Tyger’ by the eminent poet William Blake. We shall also discuss some features of Pre Romantic Poetry. After reading this Unit carefully, you should be able to: • Describe the life and works of William Blake; UGEN-103/7 • Analyse the poem ‘Tyger’; • Explain lines with reference to their context; • Define Blake’s poetic technique. 1.2 PRE-ROMANTICISM Pre-Romanticism is a cultural movement started in Europe from about the 1740s onward that preceded the artistic movement know as Romanticism.The new emphasis on genuine emotion can be seen in a whole range of Pre-Romantic trends. Some key Romantic ideas include a focus on the power of nature, imagination, revolution, the world of children and the lives of people marginalised in society. Romanticism has been very influential and important British Romantic poets include Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, Byron, Blake. Central features of Romanticism include: • An emphasis on emotional and imaginative spontaneity. • The importance of self-expression and individual feeling. ... • An almost religious response to nature. ... • A capacity for wonder and consequently a reverence for the freshness and innocence of the vision of childhood. 1.3 WILLIAM BLAKE : LIFE AND WORKS William Blake was born on November 28, 1757 in the city of London. His father was a hosiery businessman. Due to poverty he was unable to get regular education. Thus we can say that Blake was a self educated man. William Blake was a brilliant child and his mind was very fertile and imaginative. He started writing at the tender age of 12. In 1783 his first poetic collection appeared with the title “Poetical Sketches” at the age of 26. In 1781 he married Catherine Boucher the daughter of a market- gardener. The couple remained issuless. His imagination excelled him in the printing job. In 1788 he experimented a new kind of printing. Blake was always a man of poor financial sources and due to this reason he was always dedicated to poor and vanquished people. In 1800 Blake had left London with his wife and sister for doing the job of an engraver in the house of William Hayeley at Sussex. But soon he was irritated by the interference of Hayeley and returned to London. In 1821 he setteled at Fountain Court and worked upon his most creative work ‘Illustrations of the Book of Job’. In 1825 he was assigned the job of making illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy. He had completed over one hundred water colour designs, and out of them, seven were engraved. Before he could finish this job, he died on August 12, 1827. UGEN-103/8 Blake was a very deeply religious man who has throughout been known for his intellectual integrity. The greatest misfortune with William Blake was that his contemporaries could not appreciate him and he remained in obscurity for three decades after his death. In 1863 Alexander Gilchrist wrote the biography of William Blake which was published that year. In 1957 his bronze bust was installed in the Poet’s corner of Westminister Abbey. Besides being a painter of eminence he has shown proficiency in poetry as well as prose. WORKS OF WILLIAM BLAKE : 1. Poetical Sketches 1783 2. Tiriel 1789 3. Songs of Innocence 1789 4. The Book of Thel 1789-91 5. Visions of the Daughters of Albion1793 6. Songs of Innocence and Experience, showing the Two Contrary States of Human Souls 1794 7. America, A Prophecy 1794 8. Europe, A Prophecy1794 9. The Book of Urizen 1794 10. The Song of Los 1795 11. The Book of Ahania 1795 12. Vala or the Four Zoas 1796-1807 13. Milton 1804-15 14. Jerusalem 1804-15 1.4 THE TYGER "The Tyger," originally called "The Tyger," is a lyric poem focusing on the nature of God and his creations. It was published in 1794 in a collection entitled Songs of Experience. Modern anthologies often print "The Tiger" alongside an earlier Blake poem, "The Lamb," published in 1789 in a collection entitled Songs of Innocence. ‘The Tyger’ is called as the companion poem of ‘The Lamb’ which appeared in Songs of Innocence; both poems ask the same question: where do we come from? In ‘The Lamb’, an answer is given: God made us – a simple affirmation of faith. You can see very clearly in the poem ‘The Tyger’ poet answers by posing the rhetorical question: ‘Did he who made the lamb make thee?’ You can observe in the poem that poet puts forward a UGEN-103/9 series of questions none of which are answered.

  • The Many Conversations of This Lime-Tree Bower
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 26 (NS) Winter 2005 © 2005 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Agreement, Dissonance, Dissent: The Many Conversations of ‘This Lime-Tree Bower’ Felicity James ____________________________________________________________________________________________ N THIS TALK I want to touch on some of the many conversations going Ion inside and around ‘This Lime-Tree Bower’; firstly, the conversations— and the conflicts—between friends which shape the poem. Much has been said about the rich biographical and literary interconnections of this poem, and, in particular, its position in the Wordsworth-Coleridge relationship—the way in which, for example, it subtly re-reads and, in Lucy Newlyn’s words, ‘strategically correct[s]’ Wordsworth’s ‘Lines left upon a seat in a Yew-tree’.1 Lynda Pratt, too, has shown us how the poem ‘embarks on a literal and metaphorical rewriting’ of Southey poems such as the ‘Inscription III: For a Cavern that overlooks the River Avon’, the ‘Botany-Bay Eclogue’ ‘Elinor’, and the ‘Ode. Written on the First of January 1794’.2 Today, though, I want to look again at the poem through the lens of an earlier Coleridgean relationship: with the ‘gentle-hearted’ Charles Lamb. Everyone here will know that famous remonstrance made by Lamb in letters of 1800, just after his reconciliation with Coleridge, when he tells him not to ‘make me ridiculous any more by terming me gentle-hearted in print’3—‘please to blot out gentle hearted, and substitute drunken dog, ragged-head, seld-shaven, odd-ey’d, stuttering, or any other epithet which truly and properly belongs to the Gentleman in question’.4 I want to restore Lamb’s sometimes dissonant voice to this conversation poem, and to suggest that, just as he occupies the central, turning point of the poem itself, so too, in that self-deprecating complaint, Lamb gets right to the heart of some central Coleridgean dilemmas in ‘This Lime Tree Bower’.

  • Frost at Midnight By: S. T. Coleridge Dr. Faisal A. Hayder Al-Doori
    1 Frost at Midnight By: S. T. Coleridge Dr. Faisal A. Hayder Al-Doori Summary At the beginning of the poem, frost starts moving through the midnight. The poet or the speaker is living upstairs only with his baby sleeping in its cradle. The quietness and silence of the night attract the poet because it seems to be confusing. He thinks that some secrets are going to be formulated and haunted the cottage, nature and town. A "stranger" is the term used in the poem to define "a film of soot flutters on the grate of the fireplace." The speaker feels that he is like this stranger because of loneliness and his thoughts are flickering like this fluttering "stranger."He is thinking of "how the Spirit (either the human spirit or the Holy Spirit or both) searches for an echo of itself in the world of thought.This "stranger" reminds him when he was a pupil, looking at a stranger roaming on the schoolroom's fireplace, dreaming with a visitor to come, may be one of his relatives or friends or the bell of the Church rings to change the boring state of the schoolroom. The poet hopes that his baby son, Hartely Coleridge, will live in harmony with Nature more than his father who spent his primary study in London. The poet believes that God have a connection with human beings through Nature. The language of Nature is eternal and it is an example to prove the creator's existence. The last lines of the poem indicate that the poet predicts that his son will be happy even in winter because of God's presence.

  • The Exmoor Society Quiz No 5 – the Answers 1
    The Exmoor Society Quiz No 5 – The Answers 1. Grabbist Hill, Dunster. Grabbist Hill overlooks the village of Dunster, and is at the head of a ridge that runs west towards Wootton Courtenay and Dunkery. From this ridge, there are wonderful far-reaching views over the Bristol Channel to the north, and the Avill Valley to the south, with extensive footpaths and bridleways along the hill and into the combes. Grabbist is now well populated by trees, so there is little evidence of the "purple-headed mountain", unless this refers to Dunkery Beacon, on whose slopes the River Avill rises. Little remains of the site of the Iron Age hillfort, although the adjacent Giant’s Chair is still visible where our old friend, the Giant of Grabbist, likes to doze in the sun while he enjoying the view of Gallox Hill opposite. The area offers an important range of wildlife habitats, including that of the endangered heath fritillary butterfly. Grabbist is owned by the National Trust. 2. Samuel Taylor Coleridge – the Coleridge Way. Created in April 2005, the Coleridge Way originally ended at Porlock but in May 2014 a 15-mile extension to Lynmouth was launched. The Coleridge Way is now a 51mile/80km footpath in Somerset and Devon; the route links several sites associated with the romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge starting from the National Trust’s Coleridge Cottage at Nether Stowey and finishing in Lynmouth. 34 miles of this, from Nether Stowey to Exford, is bridleway but walkers can continue on from Lynmouth along the South West Coast Path to Lynton, Poets Corner in the Valley of Rocks and beyond.

Nor does the author offer any apology for adding yet another volume to the long list of books, already existing, which deal in some way or other with England's classic book of humour, because it isn't so much his fault as might appear on the surface. A year or two ago he contributed to an American paper a series of twenty articles on some of the prominent inns mentioned in the works of Dickens, and before the series was completed he received many overtures to publish them in volume form.
