The skill with which Hardy writes infers that once does not need to concern themselves with background in which they were written but instead should focus on the ways in which the poems…

Faulkner compares the collapse of the American South to a theatre of violence, injustice, bloodshed “and all the satanic lusts of human greed and cruelty” (207). Sutpen’s legend can be performed on stage and the main actor is the white race which tries to dominate, seal, and subtle the voice of the black race. Joseph W.

Lovejoy once observed that the word 'romantic ' has come to mean so many things that, by itself, it means nothing at all. Contradictory to the previous statement, F.L.
