Girl Of The Streets Sister Carrie
1,360 wordsThings are not always as they seem. For instance, take Thomas Hardy's Tess of the dUrbervilles: A Pure Woman, Stephen Cranes Maggie: Girl of the Streets, and Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie. At the surface they appear to be quite different. Tess written in 1871 by a British man by the name of Hardy, Maggie written by an American in 1893, and Carrie being written by an American in 1900. All disparate. Or are they? Hardy, Crane, and Dreiser's writings share an important relationship, the heroine....

Authoritative Text Backgrounds Heart Of Darkness
1,217 wordsChinua Achebe, a well-known writer, once gave a lecture at the University of Massachusetts about Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, entitled An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Throughout his essay, Achebe notes how Conrad used Africa as a background only, and how he set Africa up as a foil to Europe, (Achebe, p. 251) while he also projects the image of Africa as the other world, the antithesis of Europe and therefore of civilization.

How far and in what ways is Civilisation under threat in Joseph Conrad's, Heart of Darkness, (1902), and Robert Louis Stevenson's, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, (1886). Civilisation degrades the many to exalt the few. Amos Bronson Alcott (1) Fin-de-since claims that jingoism and aestheticism were upwelling's of a single underlying decadence. Stephen Arata (2...
