Abstract
THE ODE: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT UNTIL THE ROMANTIC AGE
Dr. Anu Singh
Volume: 1 Issue: 2 2011
Abstract:
Ode is a Greek word meaning song. It is a form of a lyric poem. It is of ancient origin. It became popular during the Renaissance and Classical times. Southern and Drayton are its early practitioners. Its popularity continued through the Metaphysicals and Augustans — Cowley, Dryden, and Pope are well-known names as writers of the Ode. But it is in the Romantic Age that it is variously enriched. Wordsworth, Shelley, and other Romantics wrote great odes. Keats's famous odes can never be lost sight of.
