Literature
* An Introduction *
• How much do you know about “English”?
• What is literature?
English_Literature_An_Introduction.pptx
English Literature is the literature written in English
language. English Literature is not only the literature of a
particular country but it also it is the literature of the
world. No other literature is as popular as it because it is
read and written in whole world. We can’t say it only the
literature of England for instance – Robert Burns was
Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Joseph Conrad was
Polish, Edgar Allen was American and Vladimir Nabokov
was a Russian writer, but all have major place in the
history of English literature.
 If we go with the terminology of the word ‘Literature’,
Literature has been taken from the latin word – Literae. The
word Literae is the plural of letter. So literature is the art of
written work in the form of prose, poetry, fiction or non-fiction.
Literature may be divided by language and periods or era.
But we can understand it in the following words –
 Literature is the knowledge and experience of human life
written in the form of prose, poetry, fiction or non-fiction which
can full fill anyone’s life with knowledge joy and happiness.”
 “Literature is the composition of those golden words which may
brighten our life as gold if we adopt them.”
Literature Definition and Meaning
Importance of Literature
Literature preserves the ideals of a people; and ideals--love, faith,
duty, friendship, freedom, reverence--are the part of human life
most worthy of preservation.
Why Study Literature

value.
• 2. Literature has much influence on the
English language.

sensitivity to the use of English.

by the periods and time to time it
got growth and development.

But we will get to look into all
these
Periods in History of the
English Language
Through Three main Periods
as follow.
Periods in History of the
English Language
*Beowulf
*The Canterbury Tales by G.Chaucer
*Shakespeare
The first time literature was written in old English so we use the term
of old English literature when we start talking about it. I`m going to
gather the old period in what I call best points.
 Epic poem was the most popular achievement of this age.
 Old English Literature is also called Anglo Saxon Literature.
 The period of old English literature started form 7th century to
1066.
 The major works are: Epic poetry, Hagiography, Sermons, and Bible
translations.

 Beowulf – the epic poem is the important work of old English and it
has gained national epic award in England.
 Most famous poets of the age were Caedmon, Bede, Alfred the
Great and Cynewulf.
 Caedmon was the most famous poet and called father of old poetry
in 7th century. There is only one poem of nine lines available
named Hymn
Now let us praise the Guardian of the Kingdom of Heaven
The might of the Creator and the thought of his mind,
The work of the glorious Father, how He, the eternal Lord
Established the beginning of every wonder.
For the sons of men, He, the Holy Creator
First made heaven as a roof, then the
Keeper of mankind, the eternal Lord
God Almighty afterwards made the middle world
The earth, for men.
-Hymn (Caedmon)

English_Literature_An_Introduction.pptx

  • 1. Presentation for English by Dr. Erjon Grori English Literature * An Introduction *
  • 2. • How much do you know about “English”? • What is literature?
  • 4. English Literature is the literature written in English language. English Literature is not only the literature of a particular country but it also it is the literature of the world. No other literature is as popular as it because it is read and written in whole world. We can’t say it only the literature of England for instance – Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Joseph Conrad was Polish, Edgar Allen was American and Vladimir Nabokov was a Russian writer, but all have major place in the history of English literature.
  • 5.  If we go with the terminology of the word ‘Literature’, Literature has been taken from the latin word – Literae. The word Literae is the plural of letter. So literature is the art of written work in the form of prose, poetry, fiction or non-fiction. Literature may be divided by language and periods or era. But we can understand it in the following words –  Literature is the knowledge and experience of human life written in the form of prose, poetry, fiction or non-fiction which can full fill anyone’s life with knowledge joy and happiness.”  “Literature is the composition of those golden words which may brighten our life as gold if we adopt them.” Literature Definition and Meaning
  • 6. Importance of Literature Literature preserves the ideals of a people; and ideals--love, faith, duty, friendship, freedom, reverence--are the part of human life most worthy of preservation.
  • 7. Why Study Literature • 1. Literature has aesthetic and cognitive value. • 2. Literature has much influence on the English language. • 3. Literature can breed the students’ sensitivity to the use of English.
  • 8. English literature has been divided by the periods and time to time it got growth and development. So take a glimpse of periods of English literature. Growth ‫نمو‬ / ‫تطور‬ Glimpse ‫نظرة‬/ ‫لمحة‬ Literature ‫أدب‬ English Literature
  • 10. But we will get to look into all these Periods in History of the English Language Through Three main Periods as follow.
  • 11. Periods in History of the English Language *Beowulf *The Canterbury Tales by G.Chaucer *Shakespeare
  • 12. The first time literature was written in old English so we use the term of old English literature when we start talking about it. I`m going to gather the old period in what I call best points.  Epic poem was the most popular achievement of this age.  Old English Literature is also called Anglo Saxon Literature.  The period of old English literature started form 7th century to 1066.  The major works are: Epic poetry, Hagiography, Sermons, and Bible translations.   Beowulf – the epic poem is the important work of old English and it has gained national epic award in England.  Most famous poets of the age were Caedmon, Bede, Alfred the Great and Cynewulf.  Caedmon was the most famous poet and called father of old poetry in 7th century. There is only one poem of nine lines available named Hymn
  • 13. Now let us praise the Guardian of the Kingdom of Heaven The might of the Creator and the thought of his mind, The work of the glorious Father, how He, the eternal Lord Established the beginning of every wonder. For the sons of men, He, the Holy Creator First made heaven as a roof, then the Keeper of mankind, the eternal Lord God Almighty afterwards made the middle world The earth, for men. -Hymn (Caedmon)
