Keats and Dickinson: Differing Approaches to Eliciting Emotion in Romanticism
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page contention that feeling and emotion are each integral components of the Romanticist literary style. This style attempt to move its reader through emotion and description, not necessarily realism. While other styles of literature often resort to historical fact or even scientific fact, Romanticism depends of its ability to influence the deep emotional and perceptual resources of its audience. This paper presents the contrast which exists between Emily Dickinson and John Keats in the manner in which they elicit this emotion. While Dickinson concentrates on emotion as it relates to human feelings, Keats is noted for his ability to bring to life the emotion which can be encased in even inanimate objects.

Keats/Ode to a Nightingale
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale." In this work, Keats describes how the bird's song inspires him both philosophically and creatively.

Keats wishes to escape from the world of human suffering for an idealized world of art. An examination of this poem demonstrates how the experience of appreciating the beauty of the nightingale's song becomes a sublime experience for the poet, inspiring him to new heights of understanding regarding the creative process.

Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind In The Willows": Friendship, Loyalty And Maturity
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Children's stories represent much more than merely what the written word expresses; indeed, it can readily be argued that literature possesses a significant underlying message that transforms the most innocent of stories into one of meaning and purpose. Grahame's approach to friendship, loyalty and maturity through the guise of animated characters helps provide children with a significantly better understanding of how the world around them works, as well as how they can best make themselves a part of it.

Kenneth Roberts/Arundel
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page book review that summarizes and analyzes this historical novel. Arundel by Kenneth Roberts is a novel that part adventure story, part history, but also the coming of age story of the story's narrator and protagonist Steven Nason, of the town of Arundel, "in the county of York and the province of Maine" (Roberts 1). When the novel opens Steven has just turned twelve and the year is 1759. The narrative follows him through his formative years and into the time of the American Revolution, when the story unfolds against the real-life historical event of Colonel Benedict Arnold's ill-fated attempt to take Quebec in 1775. As this suggests, one of the most intriguing aspects of this book is that it allows glimpses of history that come alive via this talented historian/author. No other sources cited.
