the age of elizabeth

1. Your discourses containing

• study(oru reading)


• discussion(evan da kandupudichaan....)


• evaluation(sutha waste...)


• & interpretation( koduma paduthra thukkaga ezuthiirukkanda...)

s called lit. criticism.Method by which such(elite!!!) discussions r made and its aim(!!) s termed lit. theory. for eg lets take a part of a poem.......

THE COY MISTRESS

"........Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near;

And yonder all before us lie

Deserts of vast eternity.

Thy beauty shall no more be found,..........."

here lets take 3rd and 4th line........

critic no 1: it means death as the poet is weard of asking the mistress....

critic no 2: o no.... he means old age......... as after certain age he cannot meet her........

critic no 1: no as per extrinsic theory(taking not only the poem but also the age, author's personality his history..........) mine s right

critic no 2: oops as per intrinsic theory(taking the poem alone irrespective of its author and other things) mine s right

one cannot deny these views......... no. of theories=no of interpretations........

thus CRITICISM(interpretations)&THEORY(method) r inseperable.

these kind of discussions r called POETICS in Greek language.

there r several types of criticism 1. THEORETICAL(avangalae oru rule pottu adan padi interpret senjuppanga) (framing rules and interpreting) eg: PLATO , ARISTOTLE

2.PRACTICAL( anda rula pottu kozappa try pannuvanga)(applying rules practically on the given piece of literature)eg: HORACE, LONGINUS.

3.JUDICIAL(nattamai thavasi madri avangalae oru nyayatha solli thappa seri yannu solluvanga)(this applies to the context and form. checks if the pieces given goes acc. to certain accepted norms)eg DRYDEN

4.BIOGRAPHICAL(writer oda backgrounda , backgrounda vachi think senju ethavadu kandupudippanga) (they analyse on the biographical details of the writer and find the inner meaning of the piece)

5.LEGISLATIVE(avangala oru rule erpaduthi atha writer kitta koduthu "oi ithu padi thaan nee ezudanum,illa unna thittiduvaen" appadinnu solldrathu)(its a rule designed for the writer to follow while writing the lit.piece)eg: ALEXANDER POPE

WORDSWORTH&COLERIDGE changed this legislative trend......(hello enakku epppadi thoonudo appadi thaan ezuthuvaen...... nee enna oru rule podrathu..... eyarkaya varanum unnakku ellam enga puriya poguthu)

w&c emphasised the importance of imagination and emotion in lit. which aroses from one's own self, which rules cannot create.

these views r expressed by WORDSWORTH,COLERIDGE,KEATS,SHELLY.(romantic poets).

(add with this point no.4&5 in page 7)
