Synge is one of the most prominent Irish writers of the twentieth century; his writing characterizes a broad, multifaceted range of political, social and religious anxieties shaping Ireland for the duration of its most remarkable period of change, which transformed the place from a relatively peaceful country to a more political and aggressive location.

Brown: The Last Discovery of America completes Richard Rodriguez 's three-volume work in which he explains and explores the ethnic and racial future of America.

Anglo-Saxon values, such as courage and strength, are depicted in Beowulf through the defeat of Grendel and his mother by the Danes' hero, Beowulf. In Beowulf, Grendel and his mother’s gruesome deaths at the hands of Beowulf exemplify how good will always eventually prosper over evil.

effect on Anglo-Saxon society. It was the arrival of the ‘Great Army’ in 865 which led to various economic and linguistic changes to the world of the Anglo-Saxons. Kingship was also altered, as the ancient kingdoms were transformed into the Danelaw and the Kingdom of Wessex, later England.

about his ancestral line and preservation of high culture that plagued Yeats in his later years are best illustrated in the poem, “A Prayer for My Daughter.” Written in 1919, just days after the birth of his daughter Anne and in the midst of the Anglo-Irish War, the poem lays out the future Yeats wishes for his daughter. It begins with the
