ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sublime is considered one of the most important concepts in Romantic poetry. In literature, it refers to use of language and description that excites thoughts and emotions beyond ordinary experience.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lord Byron was a British Romantic poet and satirist whose poetry and personality captured the imagination of Europe. Although made famous by the autobiographical poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812–18)-and his many love affairs-he is perhaps better known today for the satiric realism of Don Juan (1819–24).

Detailed explanation-3: -When reference is made to Romantic verse, the poets who generally spring to mind are William Blake (1757-1827), William Wordsworth (1770-1850), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), George Gordon, 6th Lord Byron (1788-1824), Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) and John Keats (1795-1821).

Detailed explanation-4: -Byron was a satirist, and his poetry is all clouded by satirical touches. He composed a few lyrics but his genius was more in satirical pieces and narrative verse than in fine effusions of poetry as presented by Shelley in his poetry. He was as aimed as a fighter of freedoms and an upholder of liberty.
