  Cooper's Use of Setting in the European Trilogy
Of Cooper's descriptions in his sea tales, Joseph Conrad was to write that they "have the magistral ampleness of a gesture indicating the sweep of a vast horizon."1 Marriage in 1811 to Susan Augusta DeLancey kept Cooper conscious of natural vistas.
When Cooper decided to build a new stone house for his family, he selected a "charming" setting, "on a rising knell, commanding a lovely view of the lake and village."2 The Coopers, however, never lived in the house: while they were waiting for its completion, they made plans to return to Westchester.
Cooper is not primarily concerned with social criticism; he is not solely contrasting a true with a false republic, or America with Venice.

 Roberts-Smith, “Puttenham rehabilitated: the significance of ‘tune’ in <i>The Arte of English ...
He thinks that poets manipulate the syllable-count, syllable-duration, stress, pitch and segmental features of words so that “the eare” may be “rauished with their currant tune” (164).
Cooper and Thomas agree that “a tuning” is “a singing in measure” (“modulatus” Cooper and Thomas), Thomas confirms that “tuneable singing” is “singing in measure” (“melos” Thomas), and Florio tells us that “musical measure” is “tuneable singing” (“modolantia” Florio 1611).
Cooper, Thomas and Cawdrey also almost certainly mean the same thing when they say that an “accent or tune” is “the rising or falling of the voice” (“accentus” Cooper and Thomas, “accent” Cawdrey).

Master musician of his race, he was, as Thomas Campbell notes, severed, for good and ill, from his fellow Scots, by an utter want of their protecting or paralysing caution.
THOMAS CARLYLE (1795-1881) is on the whole the strongest, though far from the finest spirit of the age succeeding--an age of criticism threatening to crowd creation out, of jostling interests and of surging streams, some of which he has striven to direct, more to stem.
He was clannish to excess, painfully jealous of proximate rivals, self-centred if not self-seeking, fired by zeal and inflamed by almost mean emulations, resenting benefits as debts, ungenerous--with one exception, that of Goethe,--to his intellectual creditors; and, with reference to men and manners around him at variance with himself, violently intolerant.

Despite the celebrated story of Hughes's being "discovered" by the white poet Vachel Lindsay while working as a hotel busboy in 1925, by that point Hughes had already established himself as a bright young star of the New Negro Renaissance.
In its spontaneity and race pride, his poetry found a response among poets of Africa and the Caribbean, and in his own country Hughes served as both an inspiration and a mentor for the younger fl writers who came of age in the 1960s.

 John Kinsella: poet, novelist, critic, and journal editor
A strange combination, but I'd argue Gemes is as much poet as photographer, and it is through the interaction of these twin poles of the creative curve that such a contradiction can work.
The dynamic between the concept and the observed "thing" is at the crux of this, as it is in the collaboration between poet and photographer.
It is also of the spirit of Gemes as artist that she pays homage to her artistic predecessor in Axel Poignant, accepts his art as part of the river's spirit.

After nearly one-hundred years of American poetry which was largely based on traditional images and forms, Whitman's voice came seemingly out of nowhere (his early years were spent as a little-known New York newspaper writer and journeyman) to permanently change the face of American writing.
The opposition to Whitman's work reached a pinnacle of sorts in the 1870s, which they were widely banned under the anti-obscenity regulations known as the "Comstock Laws" (for postal inspector and moral crusader Anthony Comstock).
