Abrams and Jeffrey Galt Huffman I'm sure you people are aware of this book and you have it. So before playing this video, you will keep this book nearby. Because we will examine the terms line by line And you will keep marking in your book. This language is not extremely difficult, but it's certainly not very easy either. But we will read it line by line and try our best. whatever terms I can read from this book, as many as you people want It becomes very clear, right on the tip of the tongue Be so clear that you can teach it to someone else, okay? So today We will see today's first word, which is "biography," what is it? We are reading literary terms from M. H. Abrams's book. M. H. Abrams is a writer; the title of their book is A Glossary of Literary Terms. The green color comes from the book I'm reading, which is the 7th. 11th edition, sorry. Now we'll write line by line, okay? What is a biography, then, in the late 17th century? late 17th century after 1650 to 1670 Around 1890, that's correct; 17th century means the 1600s and onward. From 1600 to 1700, late in the 17th century You must be very familiar with John Dryden. John Dryden defined it by this name What is a biography, neatly and very clearly? What is the biography of a particular man's life? Biography is a history, that's right, biography is a history. Of a particular man's life The people who are special are specific people. Their life's history is called a biography, correct? Remember this phrase— who said it? John Dryden will just throw in just this much in your exam. Literary terms are not specific to any particular exam. The special thing about them is that every single exam I come, you go to Bihar, you go to Rajasthan If you're going to Delhi, then stay in Dehri, UP. Read very carefully, and a phrase may arise such as "the history of particular" A man's life is called such a question with four options biography, autobiography, memoir — now here Now it's beginning to make sense that this is indeed Dryden's It was defined in Time, but in today's times, if we Talking about the present time now, regarding what's happening today, this is just a little bit of it. The meaning has become too broad now; what exactly is happening here? Full account of a particular person Everything about him, the complete account What all is involved in the attempt to set fourth character temperament milieu as well as the subject's activities and experiences What is he saying now? Runs ahead, surpassing the others, conveys the broad meaning complete account detailed description of the life of a particular main person Everything full account and what is in it What happens in that full account, meaning what is included in it? is involved in the attempt to set the fourth character First, it is established who the person we are writing about is. What does he think, they say, in a way? Does whatever action he used to do in his life, he still does it. His base defines his character about him. It is said that he is a human of a certain character. What is Temperament like towards people? Wick Haut YouTube video for the film "Bhagam Bhag" and the song "Dil Jhoom" by a particular artist The TRS of the incident is nothing but a reference to the environment, the very environment itself. You're kidding, aren't you? You're thinking about the subject, and now you'll probably end up thinking too much. What happened to this Dain Shrood? It turned into a furious mess. Hey, what about this Vivena and Romances? So old, so ancient. John said something about fertilizer. They will do what Prodeus had done, Blaze Singh Since when has it been written, and what was its original form when we first began discussing it in any particular English language? Check out a good survival example—biography's survival must have been written about extensively. But who survived? Who managed to stay alive? I mean, which books managed to endure through time? When was it written in Plutarch? This time period had already been written long ago. The parallel lives we just read about—its translation was done by whom, sir? Survival, North, very, very important question. Even if this isn't asked—Who wrote Parallel Lives?—but in Plutarch. No, don't ask. Who can go? And what name did they write for the translated book? Plutarch. Look at Plutarch. Plutarch's Lives—exactly that title. Yes, they were the source of Shakespeare's plays—this book, the so-called "North's Plutarch," was the source of Shakespeare's plays in English. What was the book that was written about the life of Plutarch, which was being written by Sarton North? It was not Plutarch's Parallel Lives. When it was in English, So then Shakespeare didn't read it and made it his source for his plays. which were on Roman subjects, because Plutarch, who wrote Parallel Lives, wrote about the Greeks and The Romans were the people of Rome who were notable, and their places in Rome and the regions under Roman rule. They're sourcing from Shakespeare, right? Medieval authors, those from the Middle Ages, whose works were gender-neutral. Chronicles mean with history Meaning historical account means generalized ones The king lived in a palace. His palace, that is, the place where his duties were carried out. that if someone came back having won a battle, they had already claimed some other island by force Once he had accomplished it, all the achievements that belonged to the king's duties became his. Look here, now this colon that appears—this is the point where you people should use punctuation, when the colon appears. After the word "Vazir," there is a colon preceding the geographical names. It means that "Kulna" refers to the one who is facing it. It explains now; further explanation of hedge geography will be provided here. Keep this in mind: once you understand this, you'll find it much easier to grasp all the literary terms, which are filled with references to Amech Abram in the same way. If a colon is used, it means that what follows is an explanation or elaboration of the preceding term—specifically, an explanation of the bibliography. Now, the second point. It has become slightly religious now. that in the Gom Mitholji, in the Gom Relijyon Those were the ones who breathed; even today, there are those who breathe. Gaglara Kideareh Karanjee has shown it. Don't slightly steal their life, meaning, increase it excessively. Once the gardener was seen, there are some streaks on it, it's stylish, so a bit In Saint Louis, people are slightly increasing the number of looters, and they've already dealt with it. Hit it or just look at it, Lingdaṇ, you just need to do this much. Kiki Fed Shous Kist me in he kya hai jo graphy kya huta hai stylize la bisshaanwa The stories of Milog Piteri, those desires, if someone speaks of them, then they are true. The sacred story, the saint's divine touch, Radha's sorrow, oh, how it moves the heart It's not based on facts; it's just their fantasy, the stories they tell, the life I'm talking about She was saying that they had seen God one night as they were going there, and they had... I told God, "Exactly, like this, it means something, you know, something like this." Extraordinary stories that you wouldn't believe, aren't the kind of stories that are exaggerated. Not that fats were present in England, but rather the fairly detailed secular biography—now observe here The hedgehog that exists there is not secular; it is religious. But now it says that in England If you look at it, "fairly" meaning "in a fairly distinguished manner" would be appropriate here. Here, the distinguished sorry, the told secular biography is correct if we look at it. that D told me if someone is a secular biography, meaning secular, that is, not religious It was written by Apiryt in Walton in the 17th century, so if anyone sees it Go to the full account, meaning a detailed biography has been written in full, a secular biography. It was written in the 17th century, the most distinguished, meaning the most different. What is an example instance? Isaac Walton is a very famous name. You know it perfectly. They will keep reciting Isaac Walton. He had just finished a book titled "Life's"—that's just the name, "Life's." You will notice that the name is similar—It's the title of Isaac Walton's book, *The Life of John Donne*. And Clutter's book was titled "Parallel Lives," including short biographies. What's in life's right now? Check inside the brackets—it includes life's What about short biographies—scattered biographies of poets, such as John You will be asked in the exam who wrote the biography of John Donne. Then what will you say? You'll put on Isaac Walton. Isaac Walton put on Life has written it, and it is giving that John Donne and George Herbert's biography How many times has it been asked who wrote "Izaak Walton," if Who wrote the collection of biographies titled "Life's"? Izak Walton is correct. Who wrote the biography of George Herbert? It was also Isaac. Walton is fine now; this bracket has closed above the sentence of Epheen. It will be written between 1640, the life of Isaac Walton. and 1678, correct, this was written during this time period, life's which The writer is Isaac Walton, and this is already a discussion from the 17th century. Come to the 18th century, the 18th century in England. If in England we are in the 18th century Let's talk about the age of emergence. In this age, we witness emergence, meaning that Arrival of the full-scale biography, meaning full-scale, meaning complete 300-400 page biographies, as well as the theory of biography in the 18th century We see the biography, but how should the theory of biography be written? How it should be, as a special literary genre, now let's see The theory of biography is a distinct field, separate from literary genre. It wasn't a genre before it became established as such. Alright, just as in literature there are genres such as poetry, drama, novels, etc. This biography also became established as a genre—it was the century of Samuel. Johnson's Lives of the English Poets—this will surely be asked, it will surely be asked. One distinctive feature of M. H. Abrams is that every single line of his is important; so, what is this 18th century? It was such a century—whose century was it? Samuel Johnson, right, it was theirs. There was a book titled *Lives of English Poets*, and it asks separately for its time period. It will give the name of the book, Lives of English Poets, written between 1779 and 1789. Okay, sorry, 1779 to 1781. I'm so sorry. Okay, so this is its time period. Lives of English Poets by Samuel Johnson, and of the best known of all English biographies, and if we look at all English biographies, which one is the best? James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, 1791 — There might now be some confusion, and I'm here to clarify it. Samuel Johnson wrote "Lives of the English Poets" from 1779 to 1781, and they were his friends. Alright, James Boswell wrote the biography of Samuel Johnson. Alright, Samuel Johnson wrote biographies about many people's lives. And James Boswell wrote a biography of Samuel Johnson, titled "Life of Samuel Johnson." In the previous Assistant Professor exam held in 1791, Sumhul Johnson was selected. Not asking, but asking was James Boswell's book, Life of Samuel Johnson What is the publication date? Now you people estimate how important each one is. line MH Abrams in our own time, biographies of notable women—if we look at the biographies of important influential women who were Men and the meaning of male have become one of the most popular literary Among literary forms, this is the most popular, not biographies—even biographies When research is done, you people would realize how important Johnara has become. Usually, there is at least one biographical title high on the bestseller list, and this too He says he has become so famous that he's now among the bestsellers in Johnara's biographies. Books have a biography or biographical title, which is always present. that a biography must necessarily be included, you people have also seen how many movies When biographies are being made, what have we seen? We have seen biographies. We have seen the hagiographies and also the secular biographies; now we proceed. Autobiography is very important. What is an autobiography? It is a biography. Written by the subject: What have we done? The subject means a person. What is a biography? Sorry, what is an autobiography? A biography is a detailed description of a person's life, written by someone else. Here you will now think: What is an autobiography? How is it different from a biography? We had read that "particular" means life history, "particular" means life, so this too So, history is also autobiography; whoever is writing it decides what it will be. It will be an autobiography if the person whose history it is is writing it themselves. It would become an autobiography of someone whose history is being written by another person. It will become a biography, that's the only difference, so an autobiography which is Biography is indeed correct; it is written by the one who writes about the subject—what is written is the subject itself. What matters most about a person is himself. Is himself important, or not? herself If she is female, herself will be used, meaning if the subject is He is the one who is writing it himself, or are they writing it themselves? It will become an autobiography; if someone else writes it, it will become a biography. Okay, got it. A biography written by oneself is to be distinguished. From the memoir, autobiography is different from memoir—it's you, us, third, fourth. The term is coming here, okay. Memoir asks about the difference from autobiography. How different it is, because even an autobiography, if I myself write my own autobiography I will write my own autobiography, and I will also write my memoir. I'll write it myself, but what's the difference? Now I'm telling you about memoir. on the author's developing the self that the author is developing—how exactly is it being developed? The author knows it, either having seen them once or indeed, no, it hasn't come here yet on the diary, not yet, we're still on this If we define it, what is a memoir, and on what aspect is emphasis not placed in it? It is not the author's developing self that is emphasized, but rather the emphasis lies in the developing self of the author. The part of the autobiography lies in how the author has developed mentally and physically—from childhood through adulthood to old age. But a memoir becomes so specific that it captures a particular part of one's autobiography. short period in which emphasis is not on the author's developing self but on the people Let us assume that the author either knows about the people or the events, or has personally witnessed the incidents. I am writing my autobiography, from my childhood through my adulthood up to old age, and how I have... I'm just writing about myself, so I'll become Moir, okay? I'll write a full account about myself then. They will clearly understand the autobiography or the difference, and then they will say, "Oh, the autobiography." Private diary and journal remain separate, so that both diary and journal are written in the subject's own hand. Has Zari done it? Dairy and Janal, by making this request, are seeking the same thing—what is it that you wish for, for one person, for your son? The records are kept, right? Any events in his life, whatever they may be. Weekly events are dwindling; emphasize Daily Dated on this. Diaries and journals are written daily. Alright, the two-day record of the events in one life You are writing in Delhi that something happened to me since this morning I taught this in class, and the children asked these questions. So what will this become, a diary and a journal? Diaries and journals are not meant for reading aloud; they are very private. Example of letter "T" which means the letter T, the double L, E, R, Y letter I am the latter one, if this is the latter one, sorry, if this is the case, and this is it. One and two, one and two, we'll call this one the former and this one the letter. I mean, if this later one is also the same as the previous one, then even if this letter were the one So, in the sense of time, it has been coming, barriers letter by letter, letter show, barrier in the path. I mean, there are two things, so the one with the barrier isn't it? The one with the barrier, where are they living? Here, what's happening here, for example, like the fans here Semul Papers are famous in these dairy journals. And John Evelyn, look, two people have arrived. So John Evelyn and Samuel Pepys—those are the names that come to mind, right? Trimukha form In the 17th century, Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn were writing their diaries. And whose journal was written in the 18th century? James Boswell and Henry Brougham In the 18th century, James Boswell arrives, followed by Fanny Burney. And Dorothy Wordsworth had a remarkable work — it was her journal, titled simply Journal. Who was Dorothy Wordsworth? You must know her—she wrote from 1798 to 1828. She is a well-known name. But they were not published until long after her death—Dorothy Verswyrth's journal, the very name of which appeared in the journals. It is written in italics, slightly slanted, and this means the title of a book. If you see anything in italics somewhere, pay attention—it will definitely be the title of a book. So, journals—how long had they not been published after their deaths? Arturo runs away, this is what they see from the Italian, indifferent to the anger, the first encounter he faces, so this is the first gang fight, so it's important. What is important, I will let you know, okay? Written in the 4th century, this is very important. The Confessions of Saint Augustine was written in the fourth century and is important. The title of the book *Confessions* is in italics, and who is the author? Saint Augustine is the author of Confessions of Saint Augustine, and he is the first one to write all this. Saints were those in whom Christianity had come from Rome to England. It is believed that through these very means, Christianity spread throughout the entire Aegean region and beyond. Wherever it spread, the name of their book is "Auto Biography." Confessions — the title is in italics — and when is it coming to Fort Century Design? That's a complete football autobiography, because these were the games that made history, right up to the final match. Yes, what is Timberadikwa Monti? What is the cave of the Crisyanity? What's the meaning of the colon here? It means what comes next is an explanation. That's what the person who read it understood. The subtext means "call me, mental case, if you're slow, you're a burden, hope AI" There is a different kind of anger—mental anger—one that you cannot express. And recovery also exists for illness, and there is also conversion. in which he discovers his Christian identity and religious vocation, it shows that His recovery from the mental crisis he experienced at Saint Augustine It happens, then they convert into those in which he discovers his Christianity. Identity and Christianity accept religious vocation. In a way, they take inspiration from them, that's fine, so basically understanding For us, it is not important that Confessions of Saint Augustine is from the 4th century. spiritual out by garfiye point se rata le laaye michel d They have a workata for you, this is the worka name, it's in italic, check it with you 1580, when is it published, in 1580, which century will 1580 belong to, please let us know in the comments You have come here late, meaning you have arrived in terms of time, that is, the subsequent expansion, meaning the extended form that came afterward. What were the later essays of these, which were published in 1580, and what do they collectively constitute when we examine them later? Now we have read the religious, spiritual auto-biography above, but what is being read is not a spiritual autobiography; it is being read precisely because it is not an autobiography. It is being read not because it is an essay, but because the essays that were there have already been read, meaning they have been read, because this is religious. The truth is, after a very long time, which is not relevant to your urgent concerns, essays, after a very long time, it is not religious, so it is after a very long time, good, which is after a very long time. After a long time. The example in secular art biography is Rousseau's Confessions, which is very important for the children of Pissarro. The girlfriend of the monarch, who had been given this very confession by Rousseau—Rousseau's own autobiographical work—had gifted it to the monarch for reading, and it was precisely this that the monarch had been reading. I wrote a very long book, a huge biography of Rousseau. Confession: this is a stakeholder, not religious. When was it written, Seventy-Six? It's a German lighter, very important for dictation and verification. You can ask. This German name will be given by Dictang and Woharet. Tell me who wrote Goethe. No, it's not written, and when are they writing it? From ten to thirty-one, the auto biography clearly Benjamin Franklin Henry Adams Cino Cassi To be forced to do so, our next generation will have to endure the hardships of a lost generation, just as the 1933 Adams family endured the trials of that era. The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas and The Autobiography of Malcolm X You don't need to remember this. It's given in MHA Brim's, so we'll just read it once. I have already told you above what needs to be remembered, okay? The Autobiography of Malcolm X If you appear for the NetWed exam In the NetJRF exam Then all of these could be important. The Autobiography of Malcolm X So Malcolm X was a leader. African American Movement they had done They were very great leaders. They worked against slavery. So her autobiography comes out in 1964. Many spiritual histories of the self however, like John Bunyan This is important. There has been a great deal of spiritual history. One of them is Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners To the chief of sinners John Bunyan was in jail. They had written this while still in jail. grace abounding to the chief of sinners Internet users Net UGC's most favorite question It is asked in this Net. followed Augustine's example religious self-revolution So this is Augustine Which we had read Confessions of St. Augustine So the very same example by Augustine While falling, they religious self-revolution In the center That is, in a way Religion related to God Related, it had its own revolution. on a crisis and a conversion of How crises occur and How is its solution a conversion? An important offshoot of this type are secular autobiographies religious These spiritual autobiographies There is a type called secular autobiographies. We have been studying from Upa. which represents And spiritual crisis a spiritual crisis that is resolved by the author's discovery of his identity and vocation not as Christian but as a poet or artist You see, a crisis occurs That is, any problem From a religious perspective is solved How did he become converted to Christianity, to God?

Author's discovery of his identity, who he is What he wants to do about himself discovers and vocation and not as a Christian Not as a Christian, but as a as a poet, as an artist You will find plenty of examples. examples are autobiography in verse Now, see how important this question is.
