| Comments: | Hi! Just thought you'd be interested in knowing that contrary to the info on your Twain page (discussing the essay "In Defense of Harriet Shelley"), Shelley's hero was William Godwin, not Earl Godwin. William Godwin, a philosopher who believed in the power of reason (see his Enquiry Concerning Political Justice), and a former dissenting minister (who rarely even drank!), would have in NO WAY advocated either hedonism or the "abandonment of all self-discipline."
Thanks for listening, Jen |

Thanks for your information, it's appreciated. |

| Comments: | I have a question and this seems to be the place that it might get answered. I am looking to find a way to characterize, or define, what makes for "high-quality literature." I also want to know if our society's definition of "high-quality literature" has changed over time, or if we always look for the same features. I would appreciate any opinions or tips for my search that you may have. |

| Comments: | Hi there. Tracey here. 32. Graduating from Concord University, and just recently accepted to Marshall Graduate Program. It's been a long day, and I've been trying to argue a point with a fellow class mate. He says Harold set out for the same reasons you said...to get a foothold. I took it that Harold set out because of the blotch on the family name (stanza 3) and that he loved somene but alas...she does not love him back, nor does she want a domesticated life. Who is right?

| Comments: | I was brought up on a farm in the north of England. In the living room were two needle points, which I subsequently inherited. My grandmother always called them: Paul and Virginia. The needle points show a young man and girl in a tropical background. They are both in "old" costumes.
I seems they could be thw Paul and Virginia in this book. The needle points are very old and have suffered from some fading. I am presently trying to make plans, stitch for stitch, of the two as best I can of their original state by looking at the back of the needlepoints. My grand mother told me they were done by older relatives. I would much appreciate your comments. Peter Hinton |

| Comments: | EXCELLENT site on Miller. Keep up the good work. Feel free to stop by this new website http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/mahler
Mahler: The Man Who Was Never Born is a play that tells of the invasion of a man's soul...his will...and the relinquishing of his soul to nonexistence. In order to save one life, another life must be forfeited, but the payment is an obscenity...a young boy must travel back in time to avenge his father's death. A stranger from another universe...a troubled young man...and a beautiful woman seer will embark upon a journey to change the course of history, but the history of which world? |

| Comments: | I thought your summary was ideal in its accurate and its mention of every major event. For the most part, it seemed that in your analysis you remained unbiased. The one example that sticks out in my mind is when you call the description of priests(712-749) a shameless plug. Now, of course it seems like a plug. We are barraged by plugs of that nature evryday in today's society. I think it might be important to consider the author's identity before you call it shameless. It might be that the author really believed what he wrote which, although it might still be a conspicuous plug, would not make it so base as to label it shameless. |

| Comments: | Sir,
I found your page and the part on Guy Mannering while researching for an essay I have to deliver. It sure is refreshing to find a page with someone's opinion on the work, as it is hard to find pages on Guy Mannering on the web in general ;) I see you were pondering on the work's title. Well, I cannot quote any secondary literature to solve the problem here, since my essay will be cvering a totally different aspect. However, I was pondering on that, too. I suggest the following - Guy Mannering is a novel, no matter whether is is based on a simple and somewhat cheap chapbook's tale (which actually was Scott's source). The composition of Guy Mannering, as I see it, follows quite classic rules, besides the fact that this is a historic novel - we have an inner and an outer frame (in terms of narration), and hence the novel is called "Guy Mannering or The Astrologer", and not "The Life and Adventures of Harry Bertram". Harry Bertram is the hero character in this novel, but it is Guy Mannering whose predictions and whose presence embraces the novel and gives it its frame (this time on the symbolic level). Talking about symbolism, did you pay attention to the names of characters, such as Harry Bertram, Guy Mannering, Meg Merrilies? I think there is more thought to this novel (keeping in mind the poor source Scott used) than one can assume even after a couple of readings. In any way - thanks for this wesite and all the work you invested! Avital |

| Comments: | just wanted to thank you for the quotes you found from strindbergs play, the father. you've significantly improved my essay! always in search for decent sites and am pleased to say this is one of them. may be interesting however to look at this particular play from the perspective wherein the captin is actually mad rather than laura being quite so vicious. or as deservid as, to be fair, the captain was trying to stop her have any say in her own childs future and then acting as if he has every right for such actions, which obviously he hasnt. anyway (can you tell im trying to gather my thoughts for an essay from a feminist perspective?)thanks again.

| Comments: | Hello,
I was wandering the web in efforts of research when I ventured upon your website of William Blake's "Marriage of Heaven and Hell." I recently wrote a research paper for class, which discusses many of the same thoughts proposed by Blake (though I am new to philosophy is what interests me about it, I know very little of textbook nature and have never read Blake before, however I found many of the points in their similarity quite astonishing) If you would like to read my research/essay paper and provide me with feedback, which I would greatly enjoy and appreciate, please let me know. Here is are the topics discussed in my paper, and thank you for your time : A tri-fold belief that the manifested innate non-secular, religion which is obviously apparent and that which is progressed through our mind, encompasses our life, inflicting or leaving an impression upon our souls through the same manner that man assimilates knowledge. Diagrams, etc. - Really one would have to read the essay as any work of art or writing for full comprehension or analysis. I would greatly appreciate it, I am 21 years of age and am embarking upon new horizons for myself and maybe in the future for many others. Thank you and I hope to be hearing from you |

| Comments: | Thanks for providing a summary of Song of Roland and the context in which it was written. This is just what I wanted. My main interest is the Cantar de Mio Cid. I wanted to place the two works in relation to each other chronologically. Now I want to know what influence the Chanson de Roland may have had on the poem of the Cid. You asked for suggestions. I found no reference to the Cid in this site; I suggest you include it.
Thanks, David McDonald |

| Comments: | I used your web page to help me find information on John Donne. His poems are fun and entertaining to read and I like how they are about love. I am a Sophomore (10) in Lawrence, Kansas. Your reviews helped me also to pick out the best poems i wanted to read and review myself about. I chose The Expiration mainly because it was rather shorter and easier to understand.
Thanks!! *Kayla |
