"Sitting in Cages": Imagining Victorian Women in Neo-Victorian Film Musicals2015 •
The process of imagining the culturally constrained Victorian woman is familiar in contemporary cinema, especially in film musicals. From Baz Lurhmann’s Moulin Rouge! (2001) to Tim Burton’s Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) and Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables (2012), contemporary film musicals seek to deconstruct the gender politics of Victorian society. These films present the nineteenth-century past as cultural memory, wherein women’s lives were shaped by inherently restrictive Victorian gender norms. A specific metaphor – the caged bird – is used to aesthetically and thematically present the restrictions placed on women in Victorian society. Yet the caged bird metaphor presents a monolithic view of Victorian gender roles. The female characters imagined through this metaphor become disempowered, their tragic fates overdetermined. Many historians, especially feminist historians, attest to the restrictions Victorian women faced, but they also demonstrate the many ways in which women resisted patriarchal society. When contemporary film musicals use the caged bird metaphor, it is positioned as a neo-Victorian remediation for restrictive gender roles. Ultimately, however, these films depict Victorian women as restricted and – more problematically – as passive to these restraints.
Avian Illuminations: A Cultural History of Birds
Avian Illuminations: A Cultural History of Birds2021 •
Avian Illuminations Avian Illuminations tells in detail about the many roles of birds in human society, including omens, food, messengers, deities, pets, muses, timekeepers, custodians, hunting companions, environmental indicators, decorative motifs, and, most importantly, embodiments of our aspirations. It narrates the history of human relationships over the centuries with crows, owls, parrots, falcons, eagles, wrens, nightingales, chickens, turkeys, hummingbirds, and many other birds. It describes in detail how the nesting behavior of birds has provided models for human romance and domestic life, while their ability to fly has inspired millennia of inventors. Finally, the book concludes that the interconnections between birds and human beings are so manifold that a world without birds would effectively mean an end to human culture, even if we continued to pass on some lonely strands of our DNA.

It is the uniqueness is composing poems not only based on themes and churning out poems, romantic in nature but also being socially conscious, ironical, and critical of the society and the yearning of the poet for peace and to achieve happiness despite so much of pain, despair and despondency experienced by the poet in his long march of life.
