Nathanael’s literary style and theme of his stories were passionate romanticism and mainly dark romanticism. The spectacular author had many amazing works and so many popular books. One of his greatest works was The Scarlet Letter (1850) and Twice-Told Tales (1837). Edgar Allan Poe once said, "The style of Hawthorne is purity itself. His tone is singularly effective—wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes... We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth".
This third romance novella would become the most popular of the three, but his most famous work was yet to come. During that decade, Capote stayed busy between these novellas writing many short stories, articles, plays, and screenplays for

Both Tyler’s ‘The Accidental Tourist’ and Duffy’s ‘Mean Time’ have a strong focus on love. The Accidental Tourist is a novel about a man’s journey to find himself after his marriage has fallen apart, and Mean time is a collection of poems about Duffy’s past experiences (presumably) to do with specific topics like love, amongst many others. I have selected two of Duffy’s poems; Mean Time and First Love to compare to two appropriate extracts from Tyler’s novel. I consider these selected poems and extracts to be suitable, and to coincide with the nature of the other selected text. Carol Ann Duffy, a Scottish poet and playwright (born in 1955) wrote the poem Mean Time.
‘The Pied Piper’ is subtitled a child’s story. Is it simply this? Although Brownings poem is subtitled as ‘a child’s story’, its historical references, sinister events and characterisations suggests that it is far more than this. The events of the poem arguably parallel the real-life occurrences of the Victorian era, and, as such, may not be perceived and understood by children, this implying that it is more than just a child's story. The third stanza of the poem reports the speech of the townspeople who appear to be revolting against their corporation by declaring it’s ‘-shocking/To think we buy gowns of ermine/for dolts that can’t or won’t determine/What’s best to rid us of our vermin’.
Consequently, he locked all the sea-ports of Europe as well as English goods. To make matters worse, he punished with fights all the countries which would not accept his system. At this moment, Napoleon´s oppression turned society against him. So, his determinations began to fail (Harding, 2012). Conclusion The main conclusion to be drawn for this paper is that the French Revolution was characterized mainly by war, famine and depression, which were caused by the failure of King Louis XVI at managing the finance of the notion properly.
Spanish poetry was heavily influenced by Spanish and Portuguese poets; one masterpiece that came out of this time was Luis de Camões’ epic, Os Lusíadas. “There were two main poetic schools after the mid-1500s-the Castilian school of Salamanca and the Andalusian school of Seville. Poets of both schools wrote in the style of the Italian poet Petrarch (Encyclopedia 759).” Spanish poetry seemed very important to learn. During the 1500s there were poets called mystics who sought a union of the heart with God and a well known one was Saint John. Saint Teresa of Avila was an author who wrote mystical literature, and two similar writers are Fray Luis de Grenada and Fray Luis de León.
Last Exit to Brooklyn, Selby Jr Last Exit to Brooklyn is Selby Jr's first book and is a book finished in the 60's - a series of short stories all loosely connected to each other through characters and settings. Each story is dark and sometimes it grows to become unbearable. It garnered it a massive amount of controversy, and became the subject of obscenity trials and book burnings. Selby hit the literature world with a book so blunt, so brutally honest in its depictions of the lowest forms of society that people weren't able to handle it because it really does knock the wind out of you the first time around. In this book, Selby brings out prostitutes, pedophiles, drug addicts, abusive husbands, psychotic wives, and all lowlife trash that you could possibly imagine and places them under a harsh light, explaining their sides and everyone else's yet allowing us to grow to hate these characters.

They are destroying it” (Crystal 335). Crystal also argues that when printing came about it people thought of it as the work of the devil. People believed that printing would put false opinions into people’s minds. When other inventions came about, such as the telegraph, telephone, and broadcasting it scared people and they felt that they would have negative consequences for the English language.
This reading, however, leads to a few altering translations of the short story, which say differing things about Tolstoy’s work. The first translation takes “Music” at face value, explores the stark contrast between the two works, and concludes that Nabokov was disagreeing with Tolstoy, saying that all the preaching he had done in his novella was preposterous and that his definition of love is entirely wrong. The second translation takes Nabokov’s love of symbolism and subtleties into account, and reads the story as if Victor did indeed kill his wife, and it has driven him insane, such that he sees her everywhere he goes, especially in the music which she so loved. This translation concludes that Tolstoy had some good points, but overall, were the events of The Kreutzer Sonata to occur, the grief and regret would drive the husband insane. This essay will examine these two translations of Nabokov’s work, and reach a singular conclusion that incorporates their two different meanings about Tolstoy’s work.
