To start exploring how I feel about writing in conjunction with […]

But I find the concept revived once more as our class begins writing in […]

By way of this, our thematic map allows for a visualization of the physical spaces that influenced the writers […]

I had already read Middlemarch prior, and was touched at the emotion and sentiment risen […]

In this case, Wuthering Heights and Reuben Sachs are both books that are emblematic of […]

And in both cases, I cannot help but wonder if the love causing death is because the love is […]

For all in all, Abel is the epitome of the man who was offered no chances, and accordingly, found no […]

These clocks are not ticking, but rather, are stuck on a specific time […]

Of course, Pip feeding the convict was done out of fear, […]

]]> 0 9bbc76138b6793f25244fb25f3977ac3 Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post On Social Darwinism: Charles Darwin and E.P.'s "The Many and the Few" in the group Nineteenth-Century Studies https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/13657/ Mon, 07 Oct 2019 18:05:12 -0500 First, it should be noted that Charles Darwin was not the eminent proponent of social Darwinism, and it did rise later on in the century, but the connection is too choice to not be made. With that said, there was […]

Also, there is something deeply […]

To wit, […]

However, the fascination lies not in the act, but rather, in how […]

]]> 0 717b1cd8db8a519ac09fc8ded5db583c Jaffre Aether wrote a new blog post The impact of setting in William Blake's "London" and Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" in the group Nineteenth-Century Studies https://sunygeneseoenglish.org/activity/p/13471/ Tue, 17 Sep 2019 01:28:59 -0500 One area of connection (through disconnection) that interests me is the setting in William Blake’s “London” and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. Insomuch as how these two interact, I find it necessary to note a […]

Yet, their discussions of virtue are not linked in agreement, but rather disagreement, with Eliot’s text […]
