a discussion of what modernism is and how it is used in various works, as well as discussing style and subject matter more broadly amongst modernist works

Before I can discuss the ways in which Shakespeare understood, approached and represented the concept of Romance in Cymbeline and Pericles, it is first necessary to distinguish exactly what this term meant. Romance is a grouping of Shakespeare’s later prose which required the reader to suspend scepticism on the improbable nature of the plot, and experience it on its own qualities through the emblematic and collective patterns of human experience.

For the purpose of this essay, I will analyse Charlotte Mew’s short story ‘Mademoiselle’ in detail, and discuss its modernist features whilst observing how these features are shared with the modernist short stories of Henry James, Hubert Crackanthorpe, George Egerton, Henry Harland and D. H. Lawrence.

For the purpose of this essay, I will look at the vast range of reasons why we should encourage children to read and specifically what children can gain from reading J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones.

For the purpose of this essay, I will interpret, analyse and discuss the ways in which the poetic form and depiction of the city has been influenced by urban experience and the literary techniques used to represent them in ‘Paris: A Poem’ by Hope Mirrlees and T. S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’.

For the purpose of this essay I will analyse the aforementioned different types of edification and how they individually treat the concept of education through their characters as they encounter, experience and converge with the contemporary and major didactic and social educational hindrances.
