    How does Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s (1809-1892) poems reflect the concerns of the Victorian age? Such as concerns with industrialization and progress, Darwinism, moral uprightness, and a sense of loss? If possible, provide Tennyson’s poems as examples.

    How does William Wordsworth’s (1770-1850) poems reflect the concerns of the Romantic Age? If possible, provide Wordsworth’s poems as examples.

    In what ways does Joseph Conrad’s (1857-1924) book Heart of Darkness questions the Victorian Age’s ideals and assumptions and anticipates concerns of the 20th century?

    How do the writers James Joyce (1882-1941), T.S. Eliot (1886-1965) and Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) reflect the concerns of the Twentieth Century: pessimism, alienation, shattered confidence, existentialism, irony, wit, puns, experimental techniques, solipsism/nihilism, rise of the individual and his inner being over the social man?

    Best for you to do some reference work at the library or the net, and really understand the works of these poets and writers and then find your own conclusions for it.

    Really would rather let you do your own homework and research, it is bettter for you,believe me we are doing more harm than good by doing your homework for you...

    The answers you expect us to provide for you are rather detailed and lengthy. We are not here to dissect literature for you. But we can lead you to places where you can do your own research and come up with your own answers.

    ThinkQuest : Library
    Librarians' Internet Index

    The very best place to find your answers is in your library. If you still cannot come up with the answers, ask your teacher for help. Struggling with homework is no fun.

    Joseph Conrad relates largely to colonialism, think about the heart of darkness as a world which has been undiscovered.
