The Winter's Tale Annotated Bibliography

Improved Essays
As the assignment requires we write an annotated bibliography of a newspaper article, and since an annotated bibliography requires in-depth knowledge on the subject, I knew exactly which article to write about. This past April I performed with Shakespeare Carolina in their production of The Winter’s Tale; we received a sparkling review from Charlotte’s toughest critic, Perry Tannenbaum. Since this was such a joyous occasion for the entire cast, I knew it would be fitting to annotate this review for my assignment, as I can use my personal connection with the article to truly illustrate the content.

In Winter Swans it is the observation that the swans “mate for life” that brings the couple together. It is clear the swans actions have had a direct impact on the couple’s relationship as the narrator describes the swans as presenting “a show of tipping in unison.…

    Canadian poet, Raymond Souster, explores the thematic implications of the individual’s urban experience, representing the Canadian city center as a place of isolating corruption that maps an unchanging Toronto. Drawing on the modernist impulse to criticize the industrialization of society, Souster moves away from the Canadian tradition of writing naturalistic visions into the sphere of the cityscape. In his poems, “Robinson Street”, and “The Coldest Winter”, Souster uses images of isolated anguish set against the backdrop of an urban setting in order to demonstrate the depressing solitude that emerges within industrialized society. The pattern of images suggests that the city is representative of a place in which individuals are engulfed by…
