Year: | 2013 | Publisher: | Kuala Lumpur : International Islamic University Malaysia, 2013 | Abstract in English: | The purpose of this thesis is to compare and critically analyse selected works by two Malaysian poets who are A. Samad Said and Cecil Rajendra, using the theory of ecocriticism. This research investigates the awareness of two Malaysian literary figures on environmental issues and the importance of the ecosystem. I will focus on selected poems from A. Samad Said’s Ballad of the Lost Map (1992) (Balada Hilang Peta, 1991), translated into English by Harry Aveling and Cecil Rajendra’s Broken Buds (1996) and by Trial ‘n Terror (2004). I intend to look at both the poets’ attitudes in expressing their thoughts and emotions towards environmental issues and Nature. Poetical devices, including imagery, metaphor, symbolism, diction, word choice and tone will be used as part of the analyses of the poems. | Degree Level: | Master | Call Number: | t PL 5139 A1982 B35 2013 | Kullliyah: | Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences | Programme: | Master of Human Sciences (English Literary Studies) | URI: | http://studentrepo.iium.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/7069 | URL: | https://lib.iium.edu.my/mom/services/mom/document/getFile/iN9R5uXsjD2L5ZFkfsav8cFSFLOnaN6N20140121151943857 |
