A SURVEY OF RENAISSANCE HUMANISM IN WILLIAM SHAKEPEARE’S

Abstract

Of all the writers of the world, William Shakespeare has had the most Universal recognition and acceptance, Shakespeare is considered as the most popular playwright of the English Literature. His philosophical ideas lead the readers to find out the human nature from his literary works in our day to day life. His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several shorter poems. Shakespeare himself can be understood as the ultimate product of the philosophy of Renaissance humanism. The cited material in the article consistently continues to refer back to Shakespeare; how most of his work embodies the humanist thought process. For a Humanist the purpose of cultivating reason was to lead a better understanding of how to act. Many of the reasons cited throughout the article focus on two subjects, divine providence and human free will.In his writings, we find optimism, truth, pragmatism, straightforwardness, morals and didacticism, mingling of tragic and comic elements. Some of his plays are concerned with the external behavior of men.Shakespeare himself can be understood as the ultimate product of the philosophy of Renaissance humanism.He was an artist with a deep understanding of humanity and an uncanny ability for self-expression who openly practiced and celebrated the ideals of intellectual freedom. In this paper, I will start with the source of the word Humanism. Then I will focus on views of different people and era son Humanism e.g. Renaissance influenced literature, politics, education, scientific and rational outlook while Greeks glorified human body, human nature and human virtues influencing literature, politics, education, scientific and rational outlook in sixteenth century.He successfully exposes the problems of human relationships, meaninglessness of man’s life, socio-economic condition and solution for those problems of all ages through the versatile utilitarianism in his plays and poems. His education was clearly grounded in the principles of Renaissance humanism. The decidedly humanistic ideals Shakespeare often represents in his plays—particularly within Hamlet and Julius Caesar—are grounded in the principles of Renaissance humanism. He brought a new psychological realism and depth to drama, and created hundreds of living, believable characters, all of them different individuals showing the rich diversity of humanity.Thus, I have focused my paper on the reflection of Humanism in Renaissance and different works of Shakespeare.

RANA MUHAMMAD AYYUB – A JOURNALIST

Abstract

First, a word about Rana Ayyub. She is a journalist who used to work for Indian media outfit called Tehelka. She left Tehelka few years ago when they refused to publish what was essentially the content of Gujarat Files. Not only were her ex-employers not willing to publish the recordings and findings of Rana’s investigative journalism but most publishers declined to print the book, prompting her to self-publish this in April 2016. The book turned out to be such a sensation that within six months, a second edition had to be printed with demand still soaring high. But the interesting aspect of this very popular book, which one Indian magazine quoted as ‘one of the most important pieces of investigative journalism in Indian history’, is that the launch of the book and its existence as well as reviews have almost been blanked out by mainstream media (barring a couple of exceptions)

For the Sahitya Akademi victor, who rose to popularity with her work, Hangwoman, composing is a definitive demonstration of disobedience. The creator thinks about her own adventure and art in an email meet.
