struggling against the existing order of life, but on the contrary, attempted to smooth over social contradictions by moralizing and proclaiming, as Pope did, that “whatever is, is right”.Joseph Addison amp。 and he now choose as the subject for a long time narrative poem the story of Endymion, the Latmian shepherd beloved by the moongoodness.Endymion was published in 1818. The exordium of poem, the Hymn to Pan in the opening episode, and a myriad other lines and short passages are worthy of the Keats that was to be。⑤religious teaching tended to emphasize the image of a wrathful ,忽視上帝仁慈的一面。 however, Robert Fox cautions against reading too much into the title since mercial factors may have played a role in its selection. After the success of Sense and Sensibility, nothing would have seemed more natural than to bring out another novel of the same author using again the formula of antithesis and alliteration for the title. It should be pointed out that the qualities of the title are not exclusively assigned to one or the other of the protagonists。s work is ineffectual parents. In Pride and Prejudice, the failure of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (particularly the latter) as parents is blamed for Lydia39。s works, employs the narrative technique of free indirect speech. This has been defined as the free representation of a character39。s point of view and her free indirect speech is essential... for it is through it that we remain caught, if not stuck, within Elizabeth39。 his friend Edith Wharton, who admired him greatly, said that there were passages in his work that were all but inprehensible.[23] . Wells harshly portrayed James as a hippopotamus laboriously attempting to pick up a pea that has got into a corner of its cage.[24] Some critics have claimed that the more elaborate manner was a result of James taking up the practice of dictating to a secretary. He was afflicted with a stutter and pensated by speaking slowly and deliberately. The late style does bee more difficult in the years when he dictates, but James also was able to revise typewritten drafts more extensively, and his few surviving drafts show that the later works are more heavily revised and redrafted. In some cases this leads critics to prefer the earlier, unrevised versions of some works because the older style is thought to be closer to the original conception and spirit of the work, Daisy Miller being a case in point: most of the current reprints of this novel contain the unrevised text. On the other hand, the late revision of the early novel The Portrait of a Lady is generally much preferred to the first edition, even by those who dislike the late style, because of the power of the imagery and the depth of characterization, while his shorter late fiction, such as The Turn of the Screw, is considered highly accessible and remains popular with readers.More important for his work overall may have been his position as an expatriate, and in other ways an outsider, living in Europe. While he came from middleclass and provincial belongings (seen from the perspective of European polite society) he worked very hard to gain access to all levels of society, and the settings of his fiction range from working class to aristocratic, and often describe the efforts of middleclass Americans to make their way in European capitals. He confessed he got some of his best story ideas from gossip at the dinner table or at country house weekends.[25] He worked for a living, however, and lacked the experiences of select schools, university, and army service, the mon bonds of masculine society. He was furthermore a man whose tastes and interests were, according to the prevailing standards of Victorian era AngloAmerican culture, rather feminine, and who was shadowed by the cloud of prejudice that then and later acpanied suspicions of his homosexuality.[26] Edmund Wilson famously pared James39。s stories as psychological thoughtexperiments. The Portrait of a Lady may be an experiment to see what happens when an idealistic young woman suddenly bees very rich. In many of his tales, characters seem to exemplify alternate futures and possibilities, as most markedly in The Jolly Corner, in which the protagonist and a ghostdoppelganger live alternate American and European lives。 typical is his insightful booklength study of his American predecessor Nathaniel Hawthorne.

In his apprentice years, culminating with the masterwork The Portrait of a Lady, his style was simple and direct (by the standards of Victorian magazine writing) and he experimented widely with forms and methods, generally narrating from a conventionally omniscient point of view. Plots generally concern romance, except for the three big novels of social mentary that conclude this period. In the second period, as noted above, he abandoned the serialized novel and from 1890 to about 1897, he wrote short stories and plays. Finally, in his third and last period he returned to the long, serialized novel. Beginning in the second period, but most noticeably in the third, he increasingly abandoned direct statement in favor of frequent double negatives, and plex descriptive imagery. Single paragraphs began to run for page after page, in which an initial noun would be succeeded by pronouns surrounded by clouds of adjectives and prepositional clauses, far from their original referents, and verbs would be deferred and then preceded by a series of adverbs. The overall effect could be a vivid evocation of a scene as perceived by a sensitive observer. In its in
