Abstract EN

Abstract The present study sheds the light on the meaning of the middle-eastern myth in the poetry of the Canadian poet as well as novelist Gwendolyn MacEwen(1941-87).

Gwendolyn MacEwen acts as one of the best significant authors during 1960s as well as 1970s in Canada.

At the hands of Gwendolyn MacEwen, myth-making begins to be connected more considerately with the character’s peculiar view-point.

The myth which MacEwen employs is functionally important for expressing a world-view.

She used to derive images as well as ideas from past as well as far away cultures in order to deepen her Canadian tradition with the most indispensable essentials for fashioning its independent history and glory.

The attention towards the middle-eastern world is part of her extreme intention of rendering a glorious and brilliant time in which perfection could be touched appropriately.

She searches for a world of mysticism and spirituality which she thinks necessary for finding higher degree of self-sufficiency.

This study intentions to handle the middle-eastern mythology in Gwendolyn MacEwen’s masterpiece The T.

E.

Lawrence Poems.
