Gardi Department of English MKBU                                                                           New Historicism:- New Historicism, since the early 1980s has been the accepted name for a mode of literary study that its proponents oppose to the formalism they attribute both to the New criticism and to the critical deconstruction that followed it. In place of dealing with a text in isolation from its historical context, new historicists attend primarily to the historical and cultural conditions of its production, its meaning, its effects, and also of its later critical interpretations and evaluations.

S. B. Gardi Department of English MKBU Introduction:- When Victoria became queen in 1837, English literature seemed to have entered upon a period of lean years, in marked contrast with the poetic fruitfulness of the romantic age which we have just studied. Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron, and Scott had passed away, and it seemed as if there were no writers in England to fill their places.  Wordsworth had written in, 1835,    Like clouds that rake the mountain summits,          Or waves that own no curbing hand, How fast has brother followed brother,          From sunshine to the sunless land! In these lines is reflected the sorrowful spirit of a literary man o

Moni Mohsin Sharmeen

Moni Mohsin Sharmeen in most of her works highlights the inequality with women which was prevailed in her society. She is aware from the current situation and what is needed in market. She doesn't highlight only of the suffering of women but she much aware about the facts that now a days feminism was in prevailing position and the voice in favour of feminism definitely discussed in society. These types of writers are inviting negative comments as for their publicity. There are many places where the writer try to show the reality.

Andy Golds worthy is a British Sculptur, photographer and environmentalist who produces site specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban setting. He don't use any particular tool to create his piece of art. He goes to the nature, finds something which is given by nature, and after making it back to the nature. He is working with time.

He also says that everything has fluidity. Here we are talking about his documentary, "River and Tides - Working with Time". With the passage of time this stone house is dissolved in river.
