  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. For more on the Romanticism and Classicism debate in the maga- zines, see David Goldie’s Critical Difference: T. S. Eliot and John Middleton Murry in English Literary Criticism, 1918–1929 (69– 127). Harding’s discussion in his book on Eliot’s Criterion of the same debate is also worth reviewing, especially his chapter on Murry’s The Adelphi; see 25–43. 2. Esty suggests that the “relativization of England as one culture among many in the face of imperial contraction seems to have entailed a relativization of literature as one aspect of culture . [as] the late modernist generation absorbed the potential energy of a contracting British state and converted it into the language not of aesthetic decline but of cultural revival” (8). In a similar fashion, despite Jason Harding’s claim that Eliot’s periodical had a “self-appointed role as a guardian of European civilization,” his extensive study of the magazine, The “Criterion”: Cultural Politics and Periodical Networks in Inter-War Britain, as the title indicates, takes Criterion’s “networks” to exist exclusively within Britain (6). 3. See Suzanne W.

    Krahling)2) ) Alexis Krahling Ms. Gelso Brit Lit 3 March 14, 2014 How does the poem “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” relate to John Keats background and biography? The background of a person’s discuses a person’s past life and the experiences they went through. The biography of a person’s life is the story of a real person’s life written by someone other than that specific person. In “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” by John Keats, published in 1848, parts of Keats background and biography are seen. Keats’s poem was written during the literary time period of Romanticism. Romanticism was a time when writers emphasized feeling and when individual experiences were highly valued. Keats expresses his feelings and his individual experiences in life in “When I Have fears That I May Cease to Be.” In the poem, Keats expresses his fear of dying before he accomplishes his goals and before he sees a specific woman again. He talks about how he feels alone in the world and how love and fame have no value. Knowing about John Keats’s life helps one understand the poem “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” because it relates to John Keats’s background and biography by expressing his fears of death, his past experiences with death, and Keats’s ambitious attitude. John Keats was a well-known British author who wrote poems, like “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be”, during the Romantic Period.

  • Dylan Thomas: “A Refusal” to Be a Poet of Love, Pity and Peace

Bharadwaj* Professor of English (Former), Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu 608002, India *Corresponding Author S. Bharadwaj Article History Received: 01.11.2019 Accepted: 10.11.2019 Published: 20.11.2019 Abstract: Dylan Thomas‘s poem ―A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London‖ focuses on the problem of the allotted role of the war time poet involved in choice-making. The agonizing tension, the climate of the global war and the creative fear and anxieties continue to harass the poets of the thirties and the war poets of the forties. One may readily agree with the view that in stylistic maturity the poem surpasses anything Thomas has written before, and it is also true that, at the formal level, the early poem 18 Poems sets the pattern for this later poem. Literary critics interpret the poem within the perspective of death and religion. However the poem, dramatizing the socio-politico-historical functioning of the war poets of the forties and the more ironic complex attitude of Auden and the pitiless attitude of the lost poets of the thirties, brings out the inadequacy of the poet‘s power of comprehension and the pain inherent in human perception.
