Abstract

Human beings face disasters from their genesis, scientists, geologists in their research findings stated that earth: the abode of human being is itself formed due to the cosmic disaster. So human being cannot run away from disasters. Disaster causes extensive damage to life and property. It is classified as manmade disaster and natural disaster. Some disasters are unavoidable but the intensity of the losses caused by disasters can be reduced by increasing awareness, preparedness and effective management. English literary works are full of accounts of different kinds of disasters like floods, fires, storms, shipwrecks, and earthquakes. The present paper is an attempt to portray how English literary artists have portrayed disasters in their works and how literature can provide a ray of hope to the disaster affected human beings.
