The poem is said to have been inspired by an actual event in Byron's life. By one account, while at a ball, Byron happened upon Mrs. John Wilmot, his cousin by marriage. He was struck by her unusual beauty, and the next morning the poem was written. She was in mourning, wearing a black dress set with spangles, which would explain the opening lines; " She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies " However, Nathan, in his reminiscences of Byron, indicates that the subject of the poem may have been Byron's half-sister, Augusta. "She Walks in Beauty" is considered by some to be Byron's tribute to the beauty of art.

‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ is widely considered to be amongst Keat’s finest poems and was influential in 19th century literature.

The poem describes the experiences of a girl called Madaline who endeavours to see her husband by following the practice on the eve of St. Agnes. Keats’s work touches on the love between young men and women and attempts to decipher the difference between what is real and what and what features in Madaline’s dreams. The characters in ‘The eve of St. Agnes’ are typical of those in many classic fictitious romantic stories of the period.

This short story these narrative and poem are considerations of equal right, knowledge, wisdom, and power for the side of each man from the side of each woman. Hemingway’s ``Hills life White Elephants ' is a story of desire and respect. Hemingway calls them simply "the American and the girl" (Hemingway 2011 para 44).

Cecily tells Lady Bracknell how she is engaged to Algernon and after much questioning gives her consent to the marriage. There is a common theme of love in this section with both Algernon and Jack revealing their true love for Gwendolen and Cecily. One aspect of comedy that Wilde has perfectly placed in this section is Algernon’s contradiction of views on marriage. This links with earlier in the play, when he expresses how there is nothing romantic in a proposal of marriage; whereas now he has found love, his view has completely changed. Wilde constantly contradicts the direct speech from the characters.
William Wordsworth: The Affliction of Margaret About the poet William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is arguably the most popular and famous of all English poets. As a young man, he had quite radical ideas about political change - and he travelled to see the effects of the revolution in France - of which he wrote "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive". With his good friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge, he published, in 1798, a collection of poems called Lyrical Ballads (in 1800, they published a second volume). In some ways, these poems mark the beginning in England of what we now call the Romantic Movement. The Preface, written by Wordsworth, has come to be seen as one of the most important explanations of poetry in English literature.
