Dressing up nice, strolling the streets and staying late at amusement…

    Porphyria's Lover

    The study of the Victorian era has informed my appreciation of previous social and literary contexts, as it reveals that texts do not exist in a vacuum, instead they are composed within very specific social, cultural and political contexts and as such their composers use the texts to both reflect and subvert the dominant values of the time. The Victorian era, ranging from 1837 until 1901,was a phase that put a particular emphasis of being refinement, propriety, politeness and sexual prudishness and texts composed during this era reflect such…

    Auden and Macneice: Anthropocentricity

    Discussing his long poem “Letter to Lord Byron,” W.H Auden comments that Byron is “the right [recipient for the poem], I think, because he was a townee … and disliked Wordsworth and all that kind of approach to nature, and I find that very sympathetic.” This interest in the urban world manifests itself throughout Auden’s poetry. In “Letter to Lord Byron,” for example, Auden describes “tramlines and slag heaps, pieces of machinery.” In “Stop all the clocks,” he lingers over an image of “aeroplanes [that] circle moaning overhead.” In “Dover,” he modernizes his picture of a Norman castle with the descriptor, “flood-lit at night,” and in “There is no Change of Place,” he describes how “metals run, / Burnished or rusty in the sun, / From town to town.” Filled with trains and factories, vacant lots and city streets, Auden’s poetry is grounded not in the more timeless pastoral landscapes of his Romantic and Georgian predecessors but rather in an industrialized world shaped and re-shaped by the works of man.…

    The Corset In The Victorian Era

    In Victorian era, corset was seen as part of women’s life, as the narrowness of their waist defines their beauty. The discomfort brought was offset by the compliments from others, as the image of being weak and needing for protection could greatly increase their female charm. This phenomenon shows the importance of corset in women’s daily life and their self-identity. Before Victorian era, in the 17th century, even though corset was popular, it was only worn by upper-class women.
