What are the characteristics of Modernism Literature?
Traditionally, `modernism' is often understood in contradistinction to `Edwardian' literature, at least in English; Queen Victoria's reign ended in 1901, but modernism is often not thought to have begun till the very serious disillusionment set in after the Great War, following 1918. Of course, King Edward VII died in 1910, and Eliot expounded the virtues of modernism in contradistinction to `the annual scourge of the Georgian Anthology,' named after George V, who reigned till 1936. The Georgian Anthology poems were often sentimental, optimistic about progress, and hewed to the traditional forms and styles of English Romanticism; by contrast literature in the `high modernist' tradition is technically rigorous but not a slave to form, typically disillusioned about progress, and surprisingly, oftentimes more seriously religious than the superficial formulas of Victorian literature. People say Victorian literature was changed forever by the railroad: no longer do we have the country visits that go on for months due to bad roads. Similarly modernist literature is said to be influenced by the airplane, and takes great interest in simultaneity, and rough, sometimes rapid transitions. Modernist literature is typically interested in a longer span of history than, say, from Wellington's victory at Waterloo to the present; it often seeks to derive meaning from myth or from science, even as it believes this is unlikely to succeed. In some ways modernist is an artificial distinction, but it is less artificial than Romanticism or the bizarre label of Victorian for a literary era. It probably better suits English poetry than prose, partly because in the English novel stagnated far less in the Victorian period than poetry did. A final useful axis to understand modernism is that it tries to go back to the urbane ethos of the pre-Romantic 18th century. Modernist poetry love the terse and pointed epigram in the form of the Japanese haiku, which Ezra Pound tried to Anglicise, or the short works of the imagistic movement, such as the early pieces by the American poet William Carlos Williams.
Which are the most known Norwegian philosophers, artists, writers, poets, musicians, composers, and other personalities that define the Norwegian culture?
I would nominate six names as the most internationally well-known and influential culture personalities in Norwegian history.Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906)Ibsen is considered the father of the modern drama and is widely regarded as the world’s greatest playwright post-Shakespeare. He is Norway’s most famous writer and arguably our most famous cultural figure.Famous works: Brand (1866), Peer Gynt (1867), A Doll’s House (1879), Ghosts (1881), The Wild Duck (1884), Hedda Gabler (1890).Edvard Grieg (1843 - 1907)Grieg is one of the most well-known Romantic composers and was a leading figure in the Norwegian romantic nationalism movement of the late 1800s. Some of his music is instantly recognizable throughout the world.Famous works: The Peer Gynt Suite (1875), including iconic movements like In the Hall of the Mountain King and Morning Mood. Also, the Holberg Suite (1884).Edvard Munch (1863 - 1944)Munch was one of the most influential painters of modern art and inspired the German Expressionist movement. He was a pioneer in using abstract, psychological themes in his work. The Scream is an iconic painting.Famous works: The Scream (1893), Madonna (1892–1895).Knut Hamsun (1859 - 1952)Hamsun’s career spanned over 70 years and many different genres.

What is verse drama in British literature?
HiVerse drama is also called poetic drama, and is usually written in Blank Verse, that is Iambic Pentameter unrhymed lines. Most Elizabethan and Jacobean drama was verse drama. All plays of Marlow and Shakespeare were written in Blank Verse, sprinkled also with occassional rhyme. Writing plays in verse has become out of fashion in the nineteenth century (although musical drama is quite popular even today). This can be partly attributed to Ibsen who thought verse was the language of gods and didn't want his human characters to speak in verse on stage. In the twentieth century T. S. Eliot wrote some very popular verse plays like The Murder in the Cathedral, and Cocktail Party.All the best.
How many types of tragedy are there in English literature?
There are basically three types of tragedies in English LiteratureRevenge Tragedy: The plot is centred on the tragic hero’s attempts at taking revenge on the murderer of a close relative; in these plays, the hero tries to ‘right a wrong’.During the Renaissance, there were two distinct types of revenge tragedy in Europe:the Spanish-French tradition focusing on honour and the conflict between love and duty; and the English revenge tragedy following the Senecan traditions of sensational, melodramatic action and savage, often exaggerated bloodshed in the centre.Elizabethan revenge tragedies usually feature a ghost, some delay, feigned or real madness of the hero, and often a play-within-the-play. For example, The Spanish Tragedy by Kyd, Hamlet by Shakespeare, The Duchess of Malfi by Webster, and many more.Domestic Tragedy: A play typically about middle-class or lower middle-class life, concerned with the domestic sphere, the private, personal, intimate matters within the family, between husband and wife. There are plenty of examples in Tudor and Jacobean drama, e.g. Shakespeare’s Othello, Heywood’s A Woman Killed with Kindness, and many more.Heroic Tragedy: Mostly popular during the English Restoration, heroic tragedy or tragicomedy usually used bombastic language and exotic settings to depict a noble heroic protagonist and their torment in choosing between love and patriotic duties. A typical example would be John Dryden’s The Conquest of Granada.
What are some traits attributed to foxes?
A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing.at least according to the Ancient Greek poet Archilochus.It seems obvious on it’s face, and appealing. And people have used the metaphor, and tried to understand it, ever since.* It doesn’t help that Erasmus's translated it in his Adagia (c. 1500) asMulta novit vulpes, verum echinus unum magnum.which Google translates as as “many fox knows, but one big urchin.”In 1953, philosopher Isaiah Berlin wrote an essay about foxes and hedgehogs.In the essay, he said thinkers fall into two camps:Those who see the world through a wide variety of lenses and experiences and for whom the world cannot be boiled down to a single idea (Herodotus, Aristotle, Desiderius Erasmus, William Shakespeare, Michel de Montaigne, Molière, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Aleksandr Pushkin, Honoré de Balzac, James Joyce and Philip Warren Anderson) - The foxes.Those who view the world through the lens of a single defining idea (Plato, Lucretius, Dante Alighieri, Blaise Pascal, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Henrik Ibsen, Marcel Proust and Fernand Braudel) - the hedgehogs.(See: the fox knows many things the hedgehog one big thing)He says now that he meant it as a game, a trifle. But you know, who can leave a good fox metaphor alone.Google the fox and hedgehog and you’ll see references from the Wall Street Journal to Nate Silver, the forecaster of all things from baseball to politics.
What makes literature timeless?
The short answer: a timeless piece of literature is one whose motifs/themes and explorations will always be a struggle or forefront in the human experience. Think The Scarlet Letter, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Moby Dick, The Great Gatsby, etc. where characters deal with sexuality, greed, social acceptance, and the pursuit of contentment. There will never be a human being whose life doesn’t address or contend with any of these things. And because these books deal with themes that will always be relevant to the majority of us at any time in the distant past or future, they are considered timeless.
What is the difference between classical and absurd drama?
Really they denote particular times in the chronology of theatre. Classical theatre encompasses what I guess could be perceived as staging under the proscenium arch using a form developed over centuries which generally has an “act” convention. A means of narration and plot development that is consistent with prevailing norms of theatre tradition and folk expectations of story.Absurdism and absurdist theatre breaks against convention both in form of the story and the mise en scene and the approach to character. It was a reaction sprung primarily from the devastation of WW2 and the re-examined human condition.Read Inspector Calls for classical and Waiting for Godot for absurdistRead A Dolls House for Classical and Rhinoceros for absurdist
Three ways Euripides's achievements affect today's society?
Euripides is identified with theatrical innovations that have profoundly influenced drama down to modern times, especially in the representation of traditional, mythical heroes as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. This new approach led him to pioneer developments that later writers adapted to comedy, some of which are characteristic of romance. Yet he also became "the most tragic of poets",[nb 1] focusing on the inner lives and motives of his characters in a way previously unknown.[5][6] He was "the creator of...that cage which is the theatre of Shakespeare's Othello, Racine's Phèdre, of Ibsen and Strindberg," in which "...imprisoned men and women destroy each other by the intensity of their loves and hates",[7] and yet he was also the literary ancestor of comic dramatists as diverse as Menander and George Bernard Shaw.[8] He was unique too among the writers of ancient Athens for the sympathy he demonstrated towards all victims of society, including women.[5][9] His conservative male audiences were frequently shocked by the 'heresies' he put into the mouths of characters,
