W W Norton Norton Anthology Of English Literature
992 wordsWilliam Wordsworth's description of his poetry in Preface to Lyrical Ballads gives the impression that it feel much like a modern newspaper to a reader; basic and with wide appeal. He emphasizes the idea of simplicity and familiarity of both topic and language, arguing the superiority of a poem that appeals to the common person. However, despite the value placed on simplicity, his poems are far above what many readers would perceive to be elementary. This is demonstrated by the fact that his poe...

Moon Beasts Werewolves Children And Thier Children Caine
1,471 wordsThe preface to this book is very cool. I know that this book is totally fictional, and is in no way real, but the preface makes the book sound like it was written from ancient scrolls and manuscripts that were uncovered through his journals. The preface describes how he was able to get all of the material to write the book. It is incredibly detailed and extremely vague at the same time if that is possible. With all of the history and this mans travels in the preface, it seems like the book is wr...

Began To Grow Don Quixote
5,310 wordsDon Quixote. Don Quixote Don Quixote Don Quixote. Where and when that was written, we cannot tell. After his imprisonment all trace of Cervantes in his official capacity disappears, from which it may be inferred that he was not reinstated. That he was still in Seville in November 1598 appears from satirical sonnet of his on the elaborate catafalque erected to testify the grief of the city at the death of Philip II, but from this to 1603 we have no clue to his movements. The words in the preface ...
