Jekyll & Hyde/Autobiographical Aspects
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that makes the point that on the surface, there is little to connect The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to the events that make up the life of its author Robert Louis Stevenson. Jekyll was English; Stevenson was born in Scotland. Jekyll was a scientist, a doctor; Stevenson a lawyer by education and a writer by profession, and, of course, the fundamental premise of the novel, which is that Jekyll transforms into Hyde, is in the realm of science fiction. However, if one looks below the surface and consider this work for what it says about Stevenson's Victorian mindset, autobiographical aspects begin to emerge. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and his most famous work, “Gulliver’s Travels.” It is the many distortions -- size, attitude, beliefs, actions -- that serve as the greatest insight into Swift’s story and the realm in which he presents the most thought-provoking of contrasts. For example, the differences that exist in the size of the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnag, and Gulliver all have a relevant significance to the larger (pun intended) story. No secondary sources.

Joyce & Yeats /Irish Nationalism
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that considers the names Umberto Saba, James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, and Michael Collins. The writer argues that as this list progresses, the biographies of each of these writers/poets demonstrates that each of these literary luminaries were progressively more involved and active in the central cause of Irish patriot Michael Collins, that is, Irish independence. Umberto Saba, for example, has only a remote connection to Collins and the Irish cause, while Irish poet W. B. Yeats was actively involved in the cause of Irish independence.
