CONCLUSION 113 BIBLIOGRAPHY 123 in CHAPTER I FROM SCEPTICISM TO THE HEROIC CONCEPT: THE QUEST FOR INTELLECTUAL SECURITY The nineteenth century constitutes, in the history of Western ideas, a period during which old beliefs and methods of thinking were questioned and criticized, and new intel- lectual and emotional responses to life were not yet firmly established. "Old institutions were undermined, new scien- tific discoveries appeared to be destroying the foundations of the Christian faith, as it was then conceived, and doubt -i like a grey mist spread over the whole field of thought." Evolutionary theories and Marxian Socialism shook the faith of the educated, and the Oxford Movement vainly attempted to create a new religious sentiment which could withstand the . 2 stress of these revolutionary ideas. In the wake of the destruction of old beliefs and ideas, violent and varying reactions occurred, primarily among the intelligentsia of the day. -

I cannot claim to be a specialist in all the periods on which I have written, nor, in spite of my best attempts, have I been able to keep abreast of all new developments in English studies. But I have been reading English literature continuously and closely ever since I be gan my studies at Edinburgh University in 1930, and I have long felt the urge to describe the whole scene as I see it. This, therefore, is one man's history of English literature; it is intended less as a work of reference than as a. work of description, explanation, and critical interpretation. It is not meant to be looked up, but to be read. I have given myself generous space in dealing with major figures such as Shakespeare and Milton, without bothering whether, in strict terms of relative greatness, they deserve so much more than I have given to some other writers. -

Nature As a Romantic Aspect in George Bowering's Poetry
Opción, Año 34, Especial No.14 (2018):1055-1070 ISSN 1012-1587/ISSNe: 2477-9385 Nature as a Romantic Aspect in George Bowering's Poetry Sahar Abdul Ameer Haraj Al-Husseini1 1Dept. of English, College of Education, University of Al- Qadisyiah Iraq [email protected] Abstract This research aims to demonstrate that George Bowering (1945) uses nature as one of his major themes in his poems via qualitative research method based on case study research methodologies. As a result, the poet tries to show his view about outward nature as being concurrent and congruous stating his position in nature as well as his awareness of it. As a conclusion, Bowering opts to presents haunting pictures to keep himself one with nature and consequently keeping himself with Canada and through this close association between humans and nature a new spiritual insight is going to be reciprocally produced. Key words: Bowering, poetry, nature, love, poem. Recibido: 19-11-2017 Aceptado: 13-02-2018 1056 Sahar Abdul Ameer Haraj Al-Husseini Opción, Año 34, Especial No.14 (2018):1055-1070 La historia del filicidio en la novela Lam Yazra (estéril) El tema principal de esta investigación es responder a la pregunta de cuán comparable es el mito del filicidio en Shahnameh con esta novela. Esta investigación ha sido analizada con respecto a su propósito, utilizando los recursos de la biblioteca y el método descriptivo y documental. Como conclusión, la novela que forma parte de la literatura de defensa sagrada, o es una especie de literatura bélica y se ha escrito en tiempos recientes, pero tiene aspectos míticos y simbólicos que desde el principio atraen la atención de los lectores hacia la historia de Rostam y Esfandiar, con un verso de la historia de Rostam y Sohrab. -
The Scholar-Gipsy Study Material
The Scholar-Gipsy Study Material Summary “The Scholar-Gipsy” was written by poet and essayist Matthew Arnold in 1853. The poem is based on a story which was found in The Vanity of Dogmatizing (1661), written by Joseph Glanvil. The poem tells the story of a poor and disillusioned Oxford student who leaves university to join a group of traveling “gipsies” (Romani people). The Scholar-Gipsy wants not only to withdraw from his studies but also to withdraw from the modern world. He is so welcomed and becomes such a part of the "gipsy" family that they reveal some of their secrets to him. When he is discovered by two of his former Oxford peers, he tells them of how the Romani have their own unique way of learning. He plans to stay with them to learn as much as he can from them. He will then share their wisdom with the world, although he does not wish to return to that world himself. Arnold begins his poem by describing a rural setting just outside of Oxford. The speaker watches as a shepherd and reapers work in a field there. The speaker remains, enjoying the view of the fields and Oxford in the distance until the sun sets, his book lying beside him. Although the story (1661) was written two hundred years before the poem (1853), local people still claim to see the scholar-gipsy walking on the Berkshire moors: This said, he left them, and return'd no more.— But rumours hung about the country-side, That the lost Scholar long was seen to stray, Seen by rare glimpses, pensive and tongue-tied, In hat of antique shape, and cloak of grey, The same the gipsies wore. -

In tragedy, usually one person (hero) is in the center of the story and all of the stories come together to make the inevitable fate happen for that hero. This inevitable fate is usually along with death or a tragic end which occurs for the hero. The purpose of poet in tragedy is illustration of an advice for readers after death of the hero. In this article, we have tried to review various aspects of tragic story of Rostam and Sohrab and the way the Master of Tous makes his audience and fans aware of passage of time and the eternal destiny using analytical descriptive method. Undoubtedly, what the ancient Greeks, especially Aristotle have proposed as a definition for tragedy as, is in some cases different from Ferdowsi's view but there is a close consistency between the nature of tragedy and the base of tragedy of Rostam and Sohrab and definition of tragedy.
