Book II deals with Poetry which is yet another interesting genre of literature. Both Drama and Poetry are distinct forms of creative writing. Whereas Poetry is primarily an expression of emotions and imagination of the poet, Drama is largely a performance art, with intensity of action and plot development as its key makers. Poetry is usually written in a rhythmic pattern whereas Drama involves conversation with serious or comical themes between the characters. In this book you will be acquainted with some of the finest poets of all times. In British poetry, you will read some of the leading British poets of the various literary ages. Besides British poets, you will also get a taste of some major American and Indian poets. The First Block deals with Indo-Anglian poetry. The roots of Indo-Anglian poetry can be traced back to the early nineteenth century. Henry Derozio, Totu Dutt, Sarojini Naidu, Tagore and Sri Aurobindo were some of the pioneers of Indo-Anglian poetry who took this genre to great heights. Later age poets like Dom Moraes, Nissim Ezekiel and Kamla Das too experimented with this form of writing, and enriching it further. In this block you will be introduced to four major Indo Anglian poets namely, Sri Aurobindo, Sarojini Naidu, Nissim Ezekiel and Kamla Das. A study of these poets will give you a taste of Indo Anglian poetry and will enable you to develop an understanding an appreciation of some of the finest Indo-Anglian poetsthat our motherland has ever produced. Let us begin our poetic journey with Sri Aurobindo who was not just a poet but also a Seer, whose poetry too is “an invocation to the transcendental consciousness.” 1.2. OBJECTIVES The aim of this unit is to introduce you to Sri Aurobindo who is “one of the finest flower of Indian Renaissance”. In this unit, you will also be acquainted with the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo, which forms the backdrop of his poetry. Moreover, it is essential for you to get a glimpse of Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy as it primarily focuses on further evolution of man, and those of you who are seeking for something higher and nobler, are sure to find some hidden treasure therein. The unit will also discuss Sri Aurobindo as a poet and will shed light on his literary accomplishments. In this unit, two of Sri Aurobindo’s early poems, “Who” and “Dream of Surreal Science” will be discussed at length. A reading of these poems will provide you an incentive to explore Sri Aurobindo and his world further. 1.3. SRI AUROBINDO: A BIOGRAPHICAL ACCOUNT Sri Aurobindo once wrote, “No one can write my life for it has not been in the surface for men to see.” Indeed, Sri Aurobindo’s life can be likened to an unfathomable ocean, whose depth cannot be examined on the surface. It takes to be a sadhak to truly understand, experience and unravel the mysteries of his Being. Any attempt to describe him on the surface would be inadequate. However, to begin with, in our school days, we are introduced to Sri Aurobindo as Aurobindo Ghosh, the charismatic revolutionary leader, who was arrested in the Alipore Conspiracy Case. In his youth, Aurobindo Ghosh was known for his radical views and volatile temperament so much so that Lord Minto labeled him as “the most dangerous man” that the English had to deal with. Sri Aurobindo was a multi faceted personality. Even till date, he is much admired by people as a patriot, a philosopher, poet par excellence and a Yogi. However, beyond all these identities, he Uttarakhand Open University 2 POETRY BAEL-302 was a sadhak who like a flowing river, traversed the various courses of his terrestrial existence before finally merging into the Ocean of the Divine. Sri Aurobindo was born on 15 August 1872 in an affluent Bengali family at Calcutta. His father, Dr. Krishnadhan Ghosh, was a surgeon who had taken his degree in Medicine from Aberdeen University and desired English education for his children as well. The young Aurobindo received his elementary education at Loreto Convent, Darjeeling, before moving to England along with his two brothers, at the tender age of seven. In London the three Ghosh brothers were kept under the care of Reverand W.H. Drewett and his wife who imparted “secular” education to the brothers privately. It was under the tutelage of the Drewett couple that Aurobindo’s mind became westernized. Besides English, Aurobindo also acquired a sound knowledge of Greek and Latin and had working knowledge of some other European languages like French, Italian and German. Right from his early years the young Aurobindo exhibited exceptional talent as a writer. He read avidly and wrote copiously. His first poems came out at the age of ten in the Fox’s Weekly. Later on, in England Sri Aurobindo went to prestigious educational institutions like St. Paul’s School and King’s College, Cambridge. Sri Aurobindo took literature seriously and was an extraordinary scholar. It is noteworthy that young Aurobindo always fared better in English than his native school mates. G.W. Prothero, one of Sri Aurobindo’s mentors at Cambridge acknowledged his efforts when he said of him, “Besides his classical scholarship he possessed a knowledge of English literature far beyond the average of undergraduates, and wrote a much better English style than most English gentlemen.” Sri Aurobindo won various illustrious prizes for his writings, both at the school and University levels. As Dr. Krishnadhan Ghosh wanted to see his boys as civil officers, Aurobindo was forced to appear for the prestigious ICS exam, which he cleared easily. However, the reluctant Aurobindo disqualified himself in horse riding on purpose for he “felt no call for the ICS.”As England held no charm for Aurobindo, he finally left the shores of England and set sail for his native land on January 12, 1893 to join the service of the Maharaja of Baroda. As Sri Aurobindo reached the shores of his native land, he could “feel a strange peace descending upon him”. Sri Aurobindo spent the next thirteen years of his life in Baroda working in various capacities including that of lecturer in French, Professor of English and Vice Principal and acting Principal of Baroda College. It was during his Baroda days that Sri Aurobindo realized much to his shame that he was ignorance of Indian culture, literature and religion and devoted his time in making up for the loss during his stay in England. This was a period of Sri Aurobindo’s “intense jnana yoga”. As a result of this in-depth study, Sri Aurobindo grounded himself well in Sanskrit and Bengali, his mother tongue. He was enamored of Indian literature in particular, so much so that he undertook the daunting task of translating major portions of Sanskrit classics including the Bala and the Ayodhya kandas from the Ramayana, the Sabha and Udyog Parvas from the Mahabharat, Meghduta and the first canto of Kumarsambhavam of Kalidas. It was a period of gloom in the history of India as she was reeling under the pressure of foreign rule. Sri Aurobindo, who later on was hailed as a champion of Integral Yoga, could not sit silently and watch the nation suffer at the hands of the Britishers. Sri Aurobindo was greatly influenced by the great revolutions of the West and thought of freeing his motherland by bringing about one such revolution in his country as well. Soon the ‘karm yogi’ inside Sri Aurobindo awakened and he plunged into the Freedom Movement. He started by contributing revolutionary articles in various journals like Indu Prakash and Yuganta and also associated himself with some of the revolutionary groups. The partition of Bengal in the year 1905, can be marked as a watershed period in Sri Aurobindo’s life as it brought him to mainstream Freedom Movement. He finally left Baroda for Calcutta to take up the editorship of Bandemataram, an English daily started by Bipin Chandra Pal. Later he took up the principal ship of the newly established Bengal National College, Calcutta. It was during his Calcutta days that he started being hailed as a prominent extremist leader and paid the price for his outspokenness on several occasions. On 4 May 1908, he was arrested in the Muzzafarpur bomb case and was detained at Alipore jail. This period can be well marked as yet another turning point in the life of Sri Aurobindo as it was here that he had his first full fledged mystical experience of ‘Narayan Darshan.’ In the words of Sri Aurobindo, Uttarakhand Open University 3 POETRY BAEL-302 “ I looked at the jail that secluded me from men and it was no longer by its high walls that I was imprisoned; no, it was Vasudeva who surrounded me. I walked under the branches of the tree in front of my cell, but it was not the tree, I knew it was Vasudeva, it was Sri Krishna whom I saw standing there and holding over me His shade.

  • Staying Optimistic: the Trials and Tribulations of Leibnizian Optimism
    Strickland, Lloyd 2019 Staying Optimistic: The Trials and Tribulations of Leibnizian Optimism. Journal of Modern Philosophy, 1(1): 3, pp. 1–21. DOI: https://doi.org/10.32881/jomp.3 RESEARCH Staying Optimistic: The Trials and Tribulations of Leibnizian Optimism Lloyd Strickland Manchester Metropolitan University, GB [email protected] The oft-told story of Leibniz’s doctrine of the best world, or optimism, is that it enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the eighteenth century until the massive earthquake that struck Lisbon on 1 November 1755 destroyed its support. Despite its long history, this story is nothing more than a commentators’ fiction that has become accepted wisdom not through sheer weight of evidence but through sheer frequency of repetition. In this paper we shall examine the reception of Leibniz’s doctrine of the best world in the eighteenth century in order to get a clearer understanding of what its fate really was. As we shall see, while Leibniz’s doctrine did win a good number of adherents in the 1720s and 1730s, especially in Germany, support for it had largely dried up by the mid-1740s; moreover, while opponents of Leibniz’s doctrine were few and far between in the 1710s and 1720s, they became increasing vocal in the 1730s and afterwards, between them producing an array of objections that served to make Leibnizian optimism both philosophically and theologically toxic years before the Lisbon earthquake struck. Keywords: Leibniz; Optimism; Best world; Lisbon earthquake; Evil; Wolff The oft-told story of Leibniz’s doctrine of the best world, or optimism, is that it enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the eighteenth century until the massive earthquake that struck Lisbon on 1 November 1755 destroyed its support.

  • Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey
    Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey Alton Barbour Abstract: Beginning with a brief account of the history of Westminster Abbey and its physical structure, this paper concentrates on the British writers honored in the South Transept or Poet’s Corner section. It identifies those recognized who are no longer thought to be outstanding, those now understood to be outstanding who are not recognized, and provides an alphabetical listing of the honored members of dead poet’s society, Britain’s honored writers, along with the works for which they are best known. Key terms: Poet’s Corner, Westminster Abbey, South Transept. CHRISTIANITY RETURNS AND CHURCHES ARE BUILT A walk through Westminster Abbey is a walk through time and through English history from the time of the Norman conquest. Most of that journey is concerned with the crowned heads of England, but not all. One section of the Abbey has been dedicated to the major figures in British literature. This paper is concerned mainly with the major poets, novelists and dramatists of Britain, but that concentration still requires a little historical background. For over nine centuries, English monarchs have been both crowned and buried in Westminster Abbey. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes who conquered and occupied England in the mid 5th century were pagans. But, as the story goes, Pope Gregory saw two fair-haired boys in the Roman market who were being sold as slaves and asked who they were. He was told that they were Angles. He replied that they looked more like angels (angeli more than angli) and determined that these pagan people should be converted to Christianity.

Course description This course introduces students to texts by British authors from 1700 to WW I, and is designed to communicate a sense of the chronological development of English literature in Britain as well as of the dynamic cultural contexts this literature engages. In order better to appreciate the cultural importance of the texts we study, we will strive to situate them in relation to their literary and historical backgrounds and to appreciate the ways in which these texts shaped, were shaped by, and commented on, the issues of their day. In addition to engaging with extended pieces of poetry and prose by writers such as Pope, Swift, Fielding, Defoe, Dickens, Austen, Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Tennyson, iter alia, we will study shorter works by a variety of authors in order to show how literary genres are constructed by communities of men and women writing with shared and competing interests and motives. One of the focal questions underlying our reading will be: How does an historical understanding of British culture enhance and enrich our reading of English literature from different historical periods? We will also consider the portraits of heroism, gender, love, lust, violence, religion, art, authorship, and Englishness presented in these texts, and study the ways in which different writers handled such topics.

This appointment of Warburton has generally been seen as a reward for his public defense of Pope against attacks upon The Essay on Man. In 1751, seven years after Pope’s death, Warburton produced an edition of the Collected Works laden, in Scriblerian fashion, with elaborate footnotes, extensive commentary, essays-in-brief tracing sources and allusions, and translations of Pope’s Latin and Greek transcriptions. He also included critical arguments about what he thought to be Pope’s intentions in various poems. Not long after the appearance of Warburton’s edition, readers questioned both the wisdom and the motives of his editing. Samuel Johnson suggested that Warburton could never restrain himself from “saying something when there is nothing to be said” (Evans 174).

  • Leibniz, Evil, and the Best of All Possible Worlds
    17 FALSE OPTIMISM? LEIBNIZ, EVIL, AND THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS LLOYD STRICKLAND University of Wales, Lampeter Abstract. Leibniz’s claim that this is the best of all possible worlds has been sub- ject to numerous criticisms, both from his contemporaries and ours. In this paper I investigate a cluster of such criticisms based on the existence, abundance or character of worldly evil. As several Leibniz-inspired versions of optimism have been advanced in recent years, the aim of my investigation is to assess not just how Leibniz’s brand of optimism fares against these criticisms, but also whether optimism as a philosophy has the resources to meet these challenges. I show that none of the criticisms considered has sufficient force to pose a threat to Leibniz’s version of optimism or to one modelled on it. INTRODUCTION Leibniz’s doctrine of optimism, which holds that our world is the best of all those possible, has undoubtedly been one of the most vilified in the history of western philosophy. Its eighteenth-century critics – like those of today – tended either to treat it dismissively, as if the doctrine was un- worthy of proper refutation, or to engage it with great passion. Many of the objections developed in the decades following Leibniz’s most public airing of the doctrine in his Theodicy (1710) are still made today, such is their perceived strength; to these, various other objections have been added over the years, and their number continues to swell due to the efforts of contemporary thinkers who find Leibniz’s views no less objectionable than did their philosophical forebears.

  • Unit 8 Alexander Pope: an Essay on Man
    The Long Eighteenth Century UNIT 8 ALEXANDER POPE: AN ESSAY ON MAN Structure 8.0 Objectives 8.1 Introduction 8.2 ALEXANDER POPE (1688-1744) 8.3 AN ESSAY ON MAN (1733-4) 8.4 Let Us Sum Up 8.5 Suggested Reading 8.6 Answers to Self-Check Exercises 8.0 OBJECTIVES This unit will analyze and explicate Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Man (1733- 4), through relevant extracts from the text, a poem in which the poet attempts with cheerful optimism to “vindicate the ways of God to Man,” arguing that “WHATEVER IS, IS RIGHT”. This unit will also comment briefly on the biographical and historical background of Alexander Pope, and try to discover the subtle connections between Pope the man and the artist in the context of the age in which he was writing. 8.1 INTRODUCTION This unit will introduce Alexander Pope in the biographical, literary and historical perspective and try to examine the relationship between the man and the artist. As you already know, the age of Alexander Pope is sometimes called the classic Age and sometimes the Augustan age of English Literature. It may be well to explain the senses in which these terms should be understood. The epithet ‘Classic’ we may take to denote, first, that the poets and the critics of this age believed that the works of the writers of the classical antiquity (really of the Latin writers) presented the best models and the ultimate standards of literary taste, and, secondly, in a more general way, that, like these Latin writers, they had little faith in the promptings and guidance of individual genius, and much in laws and rules imposed by the authority of the past.

PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY THIS EDITION PUBLISHED 1906 PREFACE It has been the aim of the editor in preparing this little book to get together sufficient material to afford a student in one of our high schools or colleges adequate and typical specimens of the vigorous and versatile genius of Alexander Pope. With this purpose he has included in addition to 'The Rape of the Lock', the 'Essay on Criticism' as furnishing the standard by which Pope himself expected his work to be judged, the 'First Epistle' of the 'Essay on Man' as a characteristic example of his didactic poetry, and the 'Epistle to Arbuthnot', both for its exhibition of Pope's genius as a satirist and for the picture it gives of the poet himself. To these are added the famous close of the 'Dunciad', the 'Ode to Solitude', a specimen of Pope's infrequent lyric note, and the 'Epitaph on Gay'. The first edition of 'The Rape of the Lock' has been given as an appendix in order that the student may have the opportunity of comparing the two forms of this poem, and of realizing the admirable art with which Pope blended old and new in the version that is now the only one known to the average reader.
