A Comparative Analysis of Literary Devices in Tennyson and Southey's War Poems

This comparative analysis explores the literary devices employed by Alfred Lord Tennyson in "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and Robert Southey in "The Battle of Blenheim." Both poets utilize repetition, visual imagery, and dialogue to convey the themes of war and heroism. However, this analysis argues that Southey’s implementation of these devices enhances the imagery in his poem, creating a more impactful experience for the reader. The discussion includes specific examples and citations from both works to illustrate these techniques and their effects.
