~*Complied by SufiSindhiii🙏🏻🇵🇰*~ *#English** Literature* _English Literature refers to the study of texts from around the world, written in the English language. ... An English Literature major will likely examine texts including poetry, drama, and prose fiction, perhaps briefly covering more contested forms of literature in their chosen path._ *#Drama**:* _In literature, a drama is the portrayal of fictional or non-fictional events through the performance of written dialog (either prose or poetry). Dramas can be performed on stage, on film, or the radio._ *#Classical** Poetry:* _Classical poems typically consist of a combination of thought and passion. Emotions are analyzed from an intellectual standpoint and passion is balanced out with reasoning and rationalizations. The result is a blending of emotions, intellect and often love._ *#Romantic** Poetry:* _Romantic poetry is the poetry of sentiments, emotions and imagination. Romantic poetry opposed the objectivity of neoclassical poetry. Neoclassical poets avoided describing their personal emotions in their poetry, unlike the Romantics._ *#Prose**:* _Prose is a form of written or spoken language that usually exhibits a natural flow of speech and grammatical structure. A related narrative device is the stream of consciousness, which also flows naturally but is not concerned with syntax. The word "prose" first appears in English in the 14th century._ *#Literay** Criticsim* _Literary Criticism is the term for writing that studies, evaluates, discusses, and interprets works of literature. Criticism may also indicate a theoretical approach to interpreting the work, such as new criticism, deconstruction, new historicism, queer theory, reader response or structuralism._ *#Fiction* _Fiction is any story made up by an author. It is a creation of the author's imagination. It is not based strictly on history or facts. The opposite of fiction is non-fiction, writing that deals with facts and true events. ... The word fiction comes from the Latin word fictum, which means "created"._ *#Literay** Essay* _essay, an analytic, interpretative, or critical literary composition usually much shorter and less systematic and formal than a dissertation or thesis and usually dealing with its subject from a limited and often personal point of view._ *The most important 8 periods of English Literature are:* Old English (Anglo-Saxon Period): 450-1066. Middle English Period: 1066-1500. The Renaissance: 1500-1600. The Neoclassical Period: 1600-1785. The Romantic Period: 1785-1832. The Victorian Age: 1832-1901. The Edwardian Period: 1901-1914. The Georgian Period: 1910-1936. *#WILLIAM** SHAKESPEARE* _Poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and one of the world's greatest dramatists. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright & father of romantic comedy & drama._ *#GEOFFREY** CHAUCER* _Geoffrey Chaucer, the father of English literature, was born in circa 1340 in London. He is most famous for writing his unfinished work, The Canterbury Tales, which is considered as one of the greatest poetic works in English._ *#HENRY** FIELDING* _Legacy. Sir Walter Scott called _*_Henry Fielding_*_ the “father of the English novel,” and the phrase still indicates Fielding's place in the history of literature._ *#CHARLES** GILDON* _Charles de Saint-Évremond placed Jonson's comedies above all else in English drama, and Charles Gildon called Jonson the father of English comedy._ *_#William_**_ Tyndale:_*_ The Father of English Prose. The King James Bible, since its publication in 1611, has had a profound influence on the development of the English language, not only in the words and phrases that it employed but also in the syntax and grammatical usages that it rendered into the English vernacular._ *_#John_**_ Dryden_*_ is rightly considered as “the father of English Criticism”. He was the first to teach the English people to determine the merit of composition upon principles. With Dryden, a new era of criticism began._ *_#William_**_ Wordsworth_*_ is considered the father of Romantic poetry. His poetry was inspired by the beautiful and lonesome English countryside where he lived quietly at a lake district._ *BEST UP LUCK SUNGAT - 🇵🇰🙏🏻*
