liberated slave. The manumission of a slave

dreams are just the norm. J. R. R. may owe much of

Sound And The Fury Light In August

William Faulkner once said that The Sound and the
Fury began with a picture in his mind. Four
children, a girl and three boys, are playing in a
stream near their house. They have been told to
stay outdoors, although they don't know why. In
fact, their grandmother, who has been very sick,
has died, and the grownups are holding a funeral.
The girl, more adventurous than her brothers,
climbs a tree to catch a better view of what's
going on in the house. Watching her from below,
the boys notice that...

Venus And Adonis Shakespeare Plays
743 words
Yet, as viewed by many scholars who questioned
Wells and Taylors document, a lot of obstacles
also exist to accepting Oxford as Shakespeare. The
most formidable is the fact that Oxford died in
June 1604 while Shakespeare continued to write
plays probably until 1613 - 14. According to most
mainstream chronologies, as many as ten plays (as
well as the Sonnets) first appeared after 1604.
Oxfords supporters claim that no new play appeared
between 1604 and 1608, and that no contemporary
reference in ...

Harold Bloom Shakespeare Plays
2,608 words
The speculation about the authorship of
Shakespeare's plays has been going forward for
nearly 200 years, and many academic theorists say
that it does not matter who supplies the texts to
the laboratories of critical deconstruction.
Harold Bloom, by all odds the most appreciative of
our Shakespearean scholars, suggests that too full
a knowledge of the playwrights life might cast a
pall on the prodigy of his genius. It is enough
that the plays exist, spells of light or falls of
gentle rain, and, b...

Coleridge and the Explosion of Voice Coleridge is
so often described in terms which are akin to the
word, explosive, and by all accounts he was at
times an unusually dynamic, charismatic and
unpredictable person. His writings themselves
could also be termed explosive merely from their
physical form; a fragmented mass, some pieces
finished but most not, much of his writing subject
to procrastination or eventual change of mind.

Miss Havisham House Oxford Oxford University

During his lifetime, Charles Dickens is known to
have written several books. Although each book is
different, they also share many similarities. Two
of his books, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist,

differences and similarities found within his
work... Perhaps the reason why these two novels
share some of the same qualities is because they
both reflect painful experiences which occurred in
Dickens past. During his childhood, Charles

Questioning the Authority of Myth in The Histories
History can be defined as the systematic study of
and writing about the past (Cartledge, Paul, The
Greeks: A Portrait of Self and Others, Oxford
University Press, Oxford, 1993). Does this mean
anything that happened, or that was believed to
have happened, in the past can be recorded as
history? Or, does one need proof? In Herodotus The
Histories, the narrative is arranged in a dramatic
form. Modern historians also arrange their
narrative in dram...
