D. H. Lawrence and W. S. Merwin as Ecopoets: A Comparative/Contrastive Study
This paper studies D. H. Lawrence and W. S. Merwin as ecopoets through examining selected poems from their poetry collections. It argues that despite the distance of time and space as well as individual viewpoints and general outlooks, Lawrence and Merwin share certain basic viewpoints on nature, the environment, and ecology. Employing ecocriticism and comparative/contrastive approaches, the paper aims at identifying some thematic similarities an…
Major Themes and Literary Techniques in Mosab Abu Toha’s Poetry Collection Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: A Formalist Approach

Thomas Davis’ “The Sack of Baltimore”: A Literary-Historical Perspective
This article is an attempt to read Thomas Davis’ poem “The Sack of Baltimore” (1845) from a literary-historical perspective. It explores Davis’ representation of the sack of Baltimore village, West Cork, Ireland as a historical event depicted from a literary angle. A typical nineteenth-century historical Irish ballad, “The Sack of Baltimore” has not only remained at the margins of literary studies, but even where it has received attention, it has…
Reading Yeats’s ‘A Prayer for My Daughter’ in Light of Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Learning
In this research paper, the authors discuss W. B. Yeats’s poem ‘A Prayer for My Daughter’ through the sociocultural theory of the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky. The Vygotskian approach in the fields of education and psychology emphasises the interdependence of social and cognitive processes in child development and education. Utilising a few of the main concepts of the Vygotskian sociological framework such as mediation, scaffolding, the zone…
Rupert Brooke’s “The Soldier” Revisited: A New Perspective
Though Rupert Brooke’s “The Soldier” has often been interpreted, categorized or dismissed as a poem on idealized patriotism, its underlying nationalistic and colonialist/imperialist dimensions have not been duly treated alongside its patriotic dimension. Since the 1980s, there has been a resurgence of interest in such interrelated themes as patriotism, nationalism, and postcolonialism due to the engagement of some political, philosophical, and li…
Saladin, The Latin Crusaders, and Palestine: David Eldridge's Holy Warriors and the ‘Clash of Civilisations’ Propaganda
This article explores representations of the Third Crusade in David Eldridge's play Holy Warriors: A Fantasia on the Third Crusade and History of Violent Struggle in the Holy Lands (2014). It argues that Eldridge tries in some instances to present the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a legacy of European imperialism in the Middle East and warns against contemporary Western involvement in the region. However, on other occasions, he suggests that Is…
Kingdom of Heaven: The One State Solution and Western Military Intervention in the Holy Land
In this article I argue that in Kingdom of Heaven Ridley Scott creates historical analogies between Saladin's taking of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade, on the one hand, and the Israeli-Palestinian question and American-led ‘War on Terror’, on the other hand. I maintain that Scott pictures the one-state solution in which both the Israelis and the Palestinians can coexist peacefully as a feasible settlement. By presenting the idea of a shared Jeru…
Tariq Ali’s A Sultan in Palermo: Historical Fiction and the “War on Terror”
This paper investigates Tariq Ali’s representations of Islamic civilization and the relationship between Islam and the West during the medieval times in his novel A Sultan in Palermo (2005). The paper argues that by means of resorting to history, Ali reflects on the current affairs between Islam and the West, particularly with regard to the ongoing “War on Terror”. Making use of postcolonial approaches, particularly Edwards Said’s views on the re…
