Eager to distance herself from Fanny's rudeness and insensitivity, Mrs. Dashwood immediately accepts the invitation and sends three servants ahead to Barton to prepare the house for their arrival. She informs John and Fanny of their imminent departure and encourages Edward Ferrars to come visit them at Barton. Following Marianne's tearful goodbye to their home at Norland, the family sets out for Barton Cottage. Commentary The opening pages of Sense and Sensibility are concerned with the laws of inheritance and succession that govern the fate of the Dashwood family property. According to the laws of male primogeniture effective in the mid-nineteenth century, estates went to the closest male descendant of the original owner. Since Old Mr. Dashwood has no sons, his estate is bequeathed to his nephew, Henry Dashwood. Henry, in turn, leaves the estate to his eldest son, John. However, as Austen notes, Henry
''People think because I can make them laugh on the stage, I'll be able to make them laugh in person. That isn't the case at all. I am essentially a rather quiet, dull(igav) person who just happens to be a performer.'' ''Mr. Bean is essentially a child trapped in the body of a man. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has this bizarre global outreach. And 10-year-old boys from different cultures have more in common than 30-year-olds. As we grow up, we acquire this sensibility that divides us.'' My opinion I chose to talk about Mr Atkinson because I reckon he's legendary. Mr Bean has been one of my favourite characters since childhood and I could watch all of his comedy sketches over and over again. I believe he'll always be my favored actor who is very hard to top.

clumps of trees. Image of nation gentle and pastoral, peopled by contented rural workers happy with their loft (reality was far different). Such reassessment of rural landscape led to „discovery of Britain”. Travelling, touring through country. Nature had been recast like a painting. Now Nature was investigated to see where she had panited her own pictures unassisted. 30. The mid-18th-century culture of sensibility Expression of heightened, intense human feelings, ones that embodied a new kind of refinement of response by the educated classes. This attribute to establish different type of human: the man or woman of „feeling”. Return to mtion, could happen when extremes of religious enthusiasm of 17th C were distant memory. Man ruled by feelings and passions, not reason. Shift in ideals -> profound effect on cultural ethos preceding the French Revolution. The man of feeling:
the hostility to the concept of "ideal beauty," the notion of modernity, and the exaltation of energy, passion, and spontaneity. His personal philosophy, to which he himself gave the name of "Beylisme" (after his real family name, Beyle) stressed the importance of the "pursuit of happiness" by combining enthusiasm with rational skepticism, lucidity with willful surrender to lyric emotions. "Beylisme," as he understood it, meant cultivating a private sensibility while developing the art of hiding and protecting it. Charterhouse of Parma is Stendhal's other masterpiece. It fuses elements of Renaissance chronicles, fictional and historical sources, recent historical events (the Napoleonic regime in Italy, the Battle of Waterloo, the Austrian occupation of Milan), and an imaginative, almost dreamlike transposition of contemporary reality into fictional terms. The novel is set mainly in the court of Parma, Italy, in the early 19th century
Austen wrote about upper-middle class society and women's role in it. The society is secure in its values, privileges and snobbery. Her created society defines itself in terms of land, money and class: Praises good conduct, manners, sound reason, marriage as an admirable social institution; Practicality; Stresses the importance of learning and education of women. Novels of manners: good conduct, sound reason, marriage as an admirable social institution, and novels of sensibility to a degree even realistic. Regional Novels: Bath/Southampton/London.
THE PRE-RAPHAELITES The PRB was formed in 1848 in London and it was an association of painters, poets, critics, sculptors. It was founded by three Royal Academy students who wanted to brake free from the academic art and return to the moral and descriptive truthfulness that they felt was gone from art. (The Royal Academy of Arts is and institution with a purpose to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.). The founders were William Hunt, John Millais, Dante Rossetti. Because of the fact that they were all students they were also very young- the oldest one, Hunt, was 21. They were soon joined by William Rossetti(critic), James Collison(painter), Frederic Stephens (critic), Thomas Woolner(sculptor). The three youthful Pre-Raphaelites deliberately challenged the established view of art, drawing up a manifesto of their intentions and publishi...

The culture of courtly love removed the lady from within the reach of her social interiors by putting her on a pedestal. The men around her are allowed to focus their desire on her person in an asexual and controlled way. Man could become her champion in tournaments or dedicate his heart to her in poetry and song. The knight's service of the object of his secret desire, the cult of the lady became very important. In the 12 th century there was a revolution in sensibility in Europe. Human emotions were no longer regarded as a disease. Human love- could be seen as an image of what it meant to love God. The Mother of God, a gracious lady and loving mother could be also worshipped. The cult of Mary emerges and runs parallel with the chivalric idealization of women. For the change of sexual passion into a cult of an idealized woman the warrior had to undergo a cultural transformation. This became possible when he was taken to the king or a great
Style The term style is a polysemantic one. The latin word ,,stilus" meant a writing instrument used by the ancients for writing on waxed tablets. Already, in classical latin the meaning of style was extended to denote the manner of expressing one's ideas in written or oral form. One of the abts/the best was given by Jonathan Swift: ,,Proper words in proper places." In present- day english, the world style is used in about half a dozen basic meanings. 1. the characteristic manner in which a writer expresses his ideas. Some speak about the style of Hemingway, Dickens etc. 2. the manner of expressing ideas, characteristic of a literary movement or period. Style of symbolism, romanticism 3. the use of language to pick a literary genre-comedy, novel, drama, O.D (poetic form) etc. 4. the selective use of language that depends on spheres of human activity fiction, scientific prose, newspape...
English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later. The first form of recorded English literature was the epic Beowulf, which was produced sometime near the end of the 7th and beginning of the 8th century. It has no ...
A greater knowledge about the world as a small glass, like a universal condition rather than a national condition.’ A further cosmopolitan claim was staked by Adam (Israeli, 25): I wanted to see other ways of living, to see if my way of living is the right way, to meet people from all over the world, to see what the outside world is about and to expand my way of thinking. Whilst these perspectives do convey a cosmopolitan sensibility, the notion of cross- cultural mobility engendering cosmopolitanism has been subject to intense scrutiny. Skrbis, Kendall and Woodward (2004) remind us that behind the abstract ideal of cosmopolitanism often lurks the privileges of wealth and citizenship of the mobile elite, whilst John Urry warns in an interview with Blok (2005, p. 81) that to position one as cosmopolitan is to try to produce ‘superior cultural capital over and against others’. Andreas (Swedish, 25), for
The imperialistic nostalgia that has been rearing its head in Russia recently has made a substantial impact on political memoirs. Two contrasting opinions prevail as regards the debacle of the Soviet Union: (1) the downfall of the empire re- presented a natural course of events, and the Soviet Union ought to have been demolished long ago; and (2) the Soviet Union ought to have been preserved, which would have been indeed possible if the actions taken had displayed a greater degree of sensibility. Gorbachev and his opponents the derzhavniks agree that it would have been possible to sustain the Soviet Union. Both sides, however, keep accusing each other and President Yeltsin of destroying the state. The advocates of the modernisation theory, on the other hand, tend to blame the crash of the superpower on the crisis of communism and the Soviet system. The majority of the authors listed above proceed from the assumption that it was possible, and
wanted. Nonetheless, by the early eighties, feminists had advanced to a much more confrontational attack on male hegemony, advocating a complete overthrow of the biased (male) canon of literature. French feminists argued that women should write with a greater consciousness of their bodies, which would create a more honest and appropriate style of openness, fragmentation and non- linearity. Parallel studies in the visual arts stressed a feminine sensibility of soft fluid colours, an emphasis on the personal and decorative, and on forms that evoked the female genitalia. Five years later the debate had moved on, from exclusively feminine concerns to the wider issues of gender in social and cultural contexts. Patriarchy and capitalism should be examined more closely, perhaps as Althusser had attempted, and sophisticated models built to integrate the larger
Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time he advocated abandoning waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs. He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending abolitionist John Brown
the stairs on my way down. Outside in Charlie's small, square yard, I folded the quilt in half and laid it out of the reach of the trees' shadows on the thick lawn that would always be slightly wet, no matter how long the sun shone. I lay on my stomach, crossing my ankles in the air, flipping through the different novels in the book, trying to decide which would occupy my mind the most thoroughly. My favorites were Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. I'd read the first most recently, so I started into Sense and Sensibility, only to remember after I began three that the hero of the story happened to be named Edward. Angrily, I turned to Mansfield Park, but the hero of that piece was named Edmund, and that was just too close. Weren't there any other names available in the late eighteenth century? I snapped the book shut, annoyed, and rolled over onto my back. I pushed my sleeves up as high as they would go, and closed my eyes. I would
How could she deny that credit to his assertions in one instance, which she had been obliged to give in the other? He declared himself to be totally unsuspicious of her sister's attachment; and she could not help remembering what Charlotte's opinion had always been. Neither could she deny the justice of his description of Jane. She felt that Jane's feelings, though fervent, were little displayed, and that there was a constant complacency in her air and manner not often united with great sensibility. When she came to that part of the letter in which her family were mentioned in terms of such mortifying, yet merited reproach, her sense of shame was severe. The justice of the charge struck her too forcibly for denial, and the circumstances to which he particularly alluded as having passed at the Netherfield ball, and as confirming all his first disapprobation, could not have made a stronger impression on his mind than on hers. The compliment to herself and her sister was not unfelt
augmentation, with a background of a small group of strings: the initial idea with which the work started returns with no qualitatively new results occurring. The idea remains on the same level, everything was just the exhibition of the hidden inner richness. Meticulous care has been provided for giving shape to the thematics; Pärt has built a unified, profound and soulful work. The second new feature is that of sensibility, to meditative concentrated attitude of mind, to elegiac moods and gusty sections, a leading position has been given. The rationality and certain dryness have disappeared. A novel treatment of harmony may be considered the third new feature in Pärt’s style. This music is tonal and Pärt is not juxtaposing the tonalities. The clear and quite stable harmonic base cannot be underestimated; it emphasises the clarity and simplicity of its style. The pedal point and abundant holds are stressed
and uncompromising style can be both entertaining a n d highly successful. However, despite its innovative qualities, Pulp Fiction can be interpreted with the reliable o l d tools of the mythic Hero's Journey. Seen this way, the film in fact presents at least three distinct journeys for three different heroes; Vincent, Jules, and Butch. THE POST-MODERN MIRROR Young people may have responded to Pulp Fiction because it reflects the post-modern artistic sensibility they grew up with. Post-modernism is the result o f a world blown apart, fragmented into millions of pieces by a century o f war, social disruption, and rapid technological change. T h e doors of perception have been shattered by machines and the frantic pace of electronification. Young people now come to aware ness in a high-intensity bombardment o f random images and brief story segments torn from all the previous styles of art and literature. T h e bits may have an internal
