Student´s name : López Gil, David

Title of the paper : Romanticism and Victorian era seen through Keats' and Tennyson's attitudes towards death

Author or topic : Keats, John. Tennyson, Alfred.

Abstract : This paper is intended to show a clear image of what kind of attitude could a Romantic poet like Keats and a Victorian one like Tennyson have when facing their imminent death. Both poet's ideas will help us to better understand the social and religious situation during their lives, and how these were decisive in the position both poets adopted. We will deal with the role that the scientific progress played in people's faith as well as death awareness and its impact in human beings.

Auto-evaluation: I have really enjoyed doing this paper. The fact that I had all Christmas to do it and being such an interesting topic has made me work hard on it. I have read and investigated a lot about the topic and I am quite satisfied with the effort I have made. I think I deserve a 7/10 mark.
