Wordsworth and Keats: The Nature-Image
The names Keats and Wordsworth are to a certain extent tantamount to Romanticism, especially from the perspective of modern academics. To many, Wordsworth and Coleridge are seen as the fathers of English Romanticism as they were the first to publish literary works that were seen as romantic with Lyrical Ballads in 1798. Yet although John Keats was only born in 1795, he still contributed much to the Romantic Movement and is in essence regarded just

Work, as Discussed in Choices
Work After reading three essays relating to work from the collection Choices, it can reasonably be concluded that the ideal components and ideal conditions of work, along with a “definition” of leisure time, are largely personal and hard to generalize. Sayers, Csikszentmihalyi, and Hochschild each have different views on work, and they tell of others’ opinions as well. My view of work is more of a mixture of the three authors’ respective beliefs.
