    Good_______ Mr turner and fellow students; I have chosen the text “Things fall apart” by Chinua Achebe to relate to our class text “The life and crimes of Harry Lavender” by Marele Day. By doing so, I will convey through my perception, the various types and functions of a distinctive voice and how language affects interpretation and shapes the meaning of both the distinctive voice and world.…

    A question that no one can really guarantee is if Shakespeare had used archaic English consciously. In some cases It seems as if he may have used archaic English purposely. In other cases It seems that he used archaic English unconsciously. So the simples answer is yes and no. I feel some of the vocabulary he uses could have been what people said in the past which are not common words no more . But I don’t believe all the archaic words where common words in the past . Like said in the report “Did Shakespeare Consciously Use Archaic English?” Shakespeare did extract archaisms from variables phrases such as “maugre his head” which hints that he maybe did use archaic English purposely . Than in other cases I feel he probably used archaic English unconsciously like when he used “teen” or “ween.” In Romeo and Juliet he uses the term amerce in the sentence “ I’ll amerce you with so strong a fine “ In this sentence I feel he used it unconsciously , being because that word is common and he frequently uses the word . Also in Romeo And Juliet he uses the term pernicious which means deadly . I feel in this situation he used it purposely for the sake of using an older term. Another term I feel that was consciously used would be exquisite used in the sentence “To call hers exquisite , in question more “ the word simply means beauty or charm again he could of used the word beauty but for the sake of the play he used a different term. The reason I think he used archaic English was so that he could be unique and have a different overall tone to his plays and stories . I think everyone one can say that he used archaic English in a good way being why he was so successful in his career .…

    Literary works in sixteenth-century England were rarely if ever created in isolation from other currents in the social and cultural world. The boundaries that divided the texts we now regard as aesthetic from other texts that participated in the spectacles of power or the murderous conflicts of rival religious factions or the rhetorical strategies of erotic and political courtship were porous and constantly shifting. It is perfectly acceptable, treating Renaissance texts as if they were islands of the autonomous literary imagination. One of the greatest writers of the period, Sir Philip Sidney, defended poetry in just such terms; the poet, Sidney writes in The Defence of Poetry(NAEL 1.933-54), is not constrained by nature or history but freely ranges "only within the zodiac of his own wit." Many sixteenth-century artists, such as Christopher Marlowe, Edmund Spenser, and William Shakespeare, brooded on the magical, transforming power of art. This power could be associated with civility and virtue, as Sidney claims, but it could also have the demonic qualities manifested by the "pleasing words" of Spenser's enchanter, Archimago (NAEL 1.63), or by the incantations of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus (NAEL 1.990-1025). It is significant that Marlowe's great play was written at a time in which the possibility of sorcery was not merely a theatrical fantasy but a widely shared fear, a fear upon which the state could act with horrendous ferocity. Marlowe's tragedy emerges not only from a culture in which bargains with the devil are imaginable as real events but also from a world in which many of the most fundamental assumptions about spiritual life were being called into question by the movement known as the Reformation. Catholic and Protestant voices struggled to articulate the precise beliefs and practices thought necessary for the soul's salvation. One key site of conflict was the Bible, with Catholic authorities trying unsuccessfully to…

    (c) The style was also ‘heroic’. The chief aim was to achieve strong and sounding lines, magnificent epithets, and powerful declamation. This again led to abuse and to mere bombast, mouthing, and in the worst cases to nonsense. In the best examples, such as in Marlowe, the result is quite impressive. In this connexion it is to be noted that the best medium for such expression was blank verse, which was sufficiently elastic to bear the strong pressure of these expansive methods.…

    Literature is generally subject to the 'law of evolutionary development. And though a man may do more than others by way of contributing to this development we should be chary of inferring upon him the medal of fatherhood. When it is said that Chaucer is the father of English poetry, and even the father of English literature we broadly mean that his contribution to the evolution of English poetry or literature is much more significant than that of his contemporaries and predecessors, and to be similarly rated is his introduction of so many novel features into it.…

    Spenser’s is an innovative style, he experimented with rhyme and rhythm and instead of using the used and worn out styles he invented his own style. Spenser developed his own nine lined stanza known as the Spenserian stanza. In a Spenserian stanza the first eight lines are in the iambic pentameter and the ninth one is in the iambic hexameter or Alexandrine. Spenser’s meter is so ample and smooth that it introduces a slumber and the reader feels himself getting absorbed in the images of the Faery land. The poet used this stanza in all books but throughout there is not even a single quiver or obstacle that disturbs the powerful monotony. And thus the epic induces a hypnotic effect on the reader.…

    The influence of Christianity came to England from Ireland with the arrival of St. Augustine’mission. The ancient vernacular poetry unredeemed in its worldliness and paganism was sanctified by the Christianization of England. In consequence there was a marked change in the content and emotion of English poetry while leaving it form and general technique unaltered. Instead of seeking themes common to old-Germanic the Christianized Anglo-Saxons adopted a new world of Latin Christianity along with themes and attitudes common to entire Christian world. This enabled the Anglo-Saxon poets to work on Biblical stories, associating them with Hebrew imagination. The special class of poetry which is called Christian poetry and this religious poetry flourished in about the 8th century in North England. Alliterative verse came to the aid of clerkly Latin to give expression of the faith of the Laity and make it popular. The subject of the poet’s song is now the story of Christ and the deeds of saintly heroes.…
