Four Paths

I've looked over my spider diagram and considered how they could become essays with longevity and promise. Therefore, I've considered three concepts per subject that I could embark on.

Romanticism 

  • To what extent does the landscape and origins of the author affect the piece of Romantic Literature/Poetry?
  • The links between Atheism and Romanticism.
  • The influence of Lord Byron on the eras poets, playwrights, and authors.

Gothic Literature

  • Evolution of Gothic Literature
  • Can a modern Gothic text fully emulate the nature of a period-appropriate text?
  • The effects of of Walpole's 'Castle of Otranto' and its influence on the genre as a whole?

Medieval Literature

  • Does the anonymity of the author effect the impact of the text?
  • Different writers' different takes on the tales of King Arthur.
  • How influential were the monks who transcribed the traditionally-oral tales?

Shakespearean

  • Is 'The Two Noble Kinsmen' an exception to the rigid tragedy-comedy formula?
  • Skirmishes over authorship: Did Shakespeare take credit for plays that weren't his?
  • Feminism and Lady Macbeth in 'Macbeth'
