Lovelace

In this poem, Richard Lovelace wrote to Lucasta, his lover, about having to leave her to go off to war. Lovelace uses words like “sweet” and “dear” to signal that he is writing to a romantic partner. His asking for her to not think that he is unkind suggests that he is aware that she may think that he is doing the wrong thing in leaving her, or more likely, that the act of going to war itself may cause him to do things that would be deemed unkind. Lovelace’s use of words like “nunnery” and

How did Ada Lovelace influence literature? Well, for starters, she was very good at writing. Her father was the famous poet, Lord Byron. She had been surrounded by literature, mathematics, and science from the time she was just a child.(Bio, page one) After spending a lot of time learning and studying math and science, the time eventually came when she met Charles Babbage. Charles Babbage had come up with an idea of an invention, but needed help it to become well known. That’s where Ada comes in

Augusta Ada King or Count of Lovelace was born with the name Augusta Ada Byron but who’s now known as Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th, during the year of 1815. She was born in London and died November 27th, in 1852. She was the daughter of a famous poet known as Lord Byron. Ada is reflected to have printed instructions for the first computer program in the mid 1800s. She was best known for being a skilled mathematician. Ada Lovelace was encouraged to be a mathematician from her

who could stand up and be noticed in the earlier years. In the early nineteenth century, Ada Augusta Byron Lovelace, made herself known among the world of men and her work still influences today's world. She is considered the "Mother of Computer Programming" and the "Enchantress of Numbers." The world of computers began with the futuristic knowledge of Charles Babbage and Lady Lovelace. She appeared to know more about Babbage's work of the Analytical Engine than he himself knew. During the time

Ada Lovelace – born Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace in 1815 – is widely considered to the world’s first programmer. Being the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron and Lady Byron, Ada Lovelace was afforded the ability to study math and science from a young age. This was a rare affordance, even for women from aristocratic families. At 17, Ada met another famous figure of computer science, Charles Babbage, who helped shape the work she would do. Unfortunately, Ada spent much of her life

In the twentieth century, however, the source of her fame moved/changed from her family background to her own (challenging things accomplished or completed). Interested in mathematics and science from an early age, Lovelace studied the former on a mostly (driven to do things without needing pressure from others) basis, but with occasional help from many of the scientific and mathematical influential people of her day, including Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Mary Somerville (1780-1872). Lovelace's

passionately in love with language,” W.H. Auden. Richard Lovelace was a prominent English poet with many renowned pieces including To Althea, From Prison, To Lucasta, and Going to Wars. Wether his works were inspired by other poets, politics, or great love he was and is still known to be one of the greats. Richard Lovelace was born into a wealthy family in 1618 in Woolwich. He was the eldest of four brothers and three sisters. His brother, Francis Lovelace, was a defender of Caermarthen in 1644 on the side

Throughout history, people of different backgrounds have perceived the act of going to war differently, and it was often reflected in literature in the form of poetry. Some poets, such as Richard Lovelace and Alfred Lord Tennyson, glorified and honored sacrifice; in contrast, others like Mary Borden and Wilfred Owen, condemned war and viewed it as a waste of life. The two poetry collections, while both discuss the effect of going to war, have very distinct central themes. The difference can be depicted

Ada Lovelace: The “Enchantress of Numbers” In a world that is currently dominated by computers, it’s hard to imagine what it was like before they were invented. Though computers only began having a major influence in the last 60 years, the idea for them was first conceived almost 200 years ago. This technology would not have been possible without the work of Ada Lovelace, who is considered one of the pioneers in the field of computer programming. She had a vision of the possible benefits and capabilities

“hero” of the story. Ever wonder who was the first computer program? No? Me neither. But that’s because I was never into computers much. The first programer was a woman, her name was Ada Lovelace. Yep, it was a woman. But before I tell you all about the program, let’s learn about her first. Ada “Countess of Lovelace” was born in 1815 and died in 1852. Her father was George Gordon Byron, who was a poet. But he died in Greece when she was 8. Ada was young when she started to show an interest in science
