| dc.description.abstract | With the initiative taken by Cheryll Glotfelty, the new discipline and theory
known as Ecocriticism came into existence. Ecocriticism tries to explore the
relationship of literature with the natural world and further it examines the
role that natural surroundings and environment play in the minds of the
creative writers during their imagination and creative process. The present
study is an attempt to focus on Bhai Vir Singh’s selected poetry in the theoretical framework of ecocriticism in order to shed light on the poet’s
vigilant views about the relationship of human life and nature.
Bhai Vir Singh is a renowned modern Punjabi poet and novelist. He is
essentially a poet of nature and mysticism. His opinions towards nature
support his position to be considered as a major representative of recent
environmental issues and ecocritical concerns in Punjabi literature. He could
also be called the father of modern Punjabi literature as he began to write in
this language when nobody was interested in it. It was an era when people's
thoughts were more influenced by Urdu and Persian. He gave Punjabi verse a
sophistication and new expressions. He draws the attention of the lethargic
and the inert towards the imperishable beauties of the universe. He sought
objective correlatives from the world of nature, flowers, springs, and birds to
invoke the invisible and abstract force which is active behind the external
visible reality. He was the first one to use blank verse form in poetry and was
the author of numerous novels, plays and poetry collections. In this paper, an
attempt has been made to explore an integral relationship woven between
nature and man through the pen of Bhai Vir Singh. | en_US |
