Victorian Age Social Problems
1,171 words
The Victorian era, from the coronation of Queen
Victoria in 1837 until her death in 1901, was an
era of several unsettling social developments that
forced writers more than ever before to take
positions on the immediate issues animating the
rest of society. Thus, although romantic forms of
expression in poetry and prose continued to
dominate English literature throughout much of the
century, the attention of many writers was
directed, sometimes passionately, to such issues
as the growth of Engli...

war, Frederic emphasized the novel's visual
aspects and its radical reduction in point of view
and narrative scope. "We do not know, or seek to
know... anything... except what, staring through
the eyes of Henry Fleming, we are permitted to
see" (117). Red Badge was a "tremendously
effective battle painting; " the trial of a

E E Cummings Black Against White
1,480 words
E. E. Cummings, who was born in 1894 and died in
1962, wrote many poems with unconventional
punctuation and capitalization, and unusual line,
word, and even letter placements namely,
ideograms. Cummings most difficult form of prose
is probably the ideogram; it is extremely terse
and it combines both visual and auditory elements.
There may be sounds or characters on the page that
cannot be verbalized or cannot convey the same
message if pronounced and not read. Four of

Some Sugars Symphony Sugar? s Symphony Some have
coined music as a universal language. Perhaps, the
complexity of the notes, the consistency of the
beat, the array of instruments, or the flow of
lyricism offers this universal appeal.
Nevertheless, the unique composition of each song
enables it to sustain its own magnetic aura, much
like the musical implication in Lewis Nordan? s

Sir Walter Social Commentary
1,436 words
Defining the novel is a challenging prospect
because the act of naming means to circumscribe a
genre that defies rigid codes. The novels
elasticity and readiness to incorporate other
genres makes it slippery and untidy; nevertheless,
the novel ness of a text allows us to recognize a
novel and distinguish it from other genres. As
readers, we approach the novel with the
expectation that it will possess novelistic
attributes and judge the novel on its ability to
master these. With this focus in min...

feeling. After practicing poetry from the early
1920 s to 1938, she renounced poetry saying that
its no longer served as a means of expressing the
modern word / world . Poetry bears in itself the
message that it is the destiny of human beings to
speak the meaning of being, but it nurses it in
itself as in a sacred apartness, not to be
