Cadence V: Romantic and Victorian English Literature

By Dr Basak and Acharjya

This book, has been thoughtfully curated in alignment with the dynamic vision of the National Education Policy (NEP). Aimed at undergraduate students of English Literature, it offers a holistic and engaging journey through two pivotal eras in literary history-the Romantic and Victorian Ages.

The Romantic Age, with its emphasis on imagination, emotion, and individual freedom, emerged as a reaction against the rigidity of classical forms and the rapid industrialization of society. Through the works of poets like Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, and Byron, students are invited to explore themes of nature, spirituality, and the sublime.

The Victorian Age, in contrast, reflects a period of stability, moral questioning, and societal progress. The era's complexity is brought to life through the prose and poetry of eminent writers like Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, and Dickens, whose works echo the challenges of faith, industrial change, and emerging social consciousness.

Structured in a module-based format, this book promotes an outcome-driven approach, with clearly defined learning objectives, textual analysis and discussion points.

By blending historical insight, textual study, and critical interpretation, this book aspires to make the study of English literature relevant, accessible, and intellectually stimulating for 21st-century learners.
