Subject: English poetry XIX and XX centuries

Student’s name: Peris Carrascosa, Sara

Title of the paper: Poetry1

“Lines writen in the early spring”

Author or topic: Wordsworth, William

Abstract: In this poem, we can see that the author is trying to break with everything written before, because his book will mean the start of the Romantic movement: a movement against the aristocracy, and where the nature has a lot of importance (since the title); and we will see this clearly in the poem, even antropmorphogically.

In this poem we will se that Wordsworth (as other people) thinks that humanity is essentially good and is corrupted by the influence of society.

Title of the paper: Poetry2

“Accepted or rejected in their societies”

Author or topic: Wordsworth, William; Wilde, Oscar

Abstract: In this paper I try to demonstrate that the acceptation or rejection of a poet in his society is reflected in his poetry.

To demonstrate this I have analyzed the Romantic poet William Wordsworth, and his poem “Stray pleasures”, and the Victorian poet Oscar Wilde, and his poem “The ballad of the reading gaol”; and I have shown my theory analyzing their similarities and differences through their lives, historical and social context and their poems.

Auto-evaluation: I think I deserve an 8 out of 10 due to the fact that I have invested a lot of time in researching and writing these papers. I have shown my theories and I have earned much nowledge about Romantic and Victorian poetry.
