    Aristotle on Poetry

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.

    The French Revolution (1789-99) violently transformed France from a monarchical state with a rigid social hierarchy into a modern nation in which the social structure was loosened and power passed increasingly to the middle classes.

    In looking at this question, it is my opinion that it is arousing a discussion of the self-denial that religion imposes and also the conflict it imposes on the self. For this I will primarily be looking at Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre’ and the poetry of John Donne. The progression of Jane Eyre’s life is shown by a variety of links to religion due to the many changes in her way of life. Bronte shows
