ABSTRACT

This paper is an effort to depict the representative Victorian poet A. L. Tennyson. It throws light on his literary background, most important influences on him, his great works and the major themes he was interested in etc. It describes the great impact of that particular period in the history of Victorian England on the poet and his works and how successfully and beautifully he captures and captivates the same in his myriad poems. The great patriotic spirit of Tennyson, his love for Nature and especially for the English countryside and how it abounds in his poems is analyzed along with the very patriotic spirit brimming through his works. To delineate as to how clearly and cleverly he depicts his themes, different poems dealing with the same are discussed in brief. His famous poem “In Memoriam” as an example for various themes is also dealt with.  The paper concludes with the assertion that Tennyson is a popular Victorian Poet whose contribution to the realm of English poetry is immensely rich.

Key Words: Heritage, Mellifluous, Blank verse, scepticism, myriad, artistic isolation, unquenchable thirst, dramatic monologue etc.

ABSTRACT

The White Tiger is the reflection of the mind of an Indian born outsider Aravind Adiga. It had won the Booker Prize for Literature in 2008 for its presentation of his ‘Real India’. But truly it is not. It is a cynical anthropology from an outsider. Adiga may be born in India but his novel exposes himself as an outsider. The Indian critics have commended him as an outsider because of his ideas and thoughts, which represented in his novel through the mouth of the protagonist Balram Halwai. Adiga’s The White Tiger is published in 2008 and the same year it had won the man of booker prize. That makes everyone to look at him. It is an attempt to reveal the inauthentic presentation of India by Aravind Adiga.
