Hey friends, I figured I'd post my final project/ unessay here, too! I made my first Twine! It's barely a Twine, but I hyperlinked some poems I wrote by drawing on words/ ideas from Auden's poem! Here's the Twine (trigger warning for self harm, though--stay safe friends): https://sites.google.com/view/museedes/home - Jess

Modernism Post: Kurtz’s Painting From Heart of Darkness
I could talk about the themes of Heart Of Darkness, how once we strip away everything that makes people different, all human beings have the same preverbal "heart of darkness" within them that can cause great suffering. I could analyze the title, with "darkness" referencing the idea that Africa was seen as the "dark continent" with … Continue reading Modernism Post: Kurtz’s Painting From Heart of Darkness
A Way Too Late Post on the Victorian Era: A Quick Look at Victorian Theater
In our study of Victorian era authors, the only play that we had the chance to read was The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. However, I noticed in reading the authors' introductions, many of them also engaged in playwriting alongside their more famous works. Oscar Wilde is one example, but Robert Browning, Lord … Continue reading A Way Too Late Post on the Victorian Era: A Quick Look at Victorian Theater

Modernism
I wasn't altogether very interested with the pieces that we had to read for this section of the class. I did enjoy the moments where I recognized a few lines such as T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men. This is the way the world endsThis is the way the world endsThis is the way the … Continue reading Modernism
Eliot’s Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Poetry can be powerful, and Eliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Profrock is no exception. A lengthy poem rich with unique and detailed imagery, Eliot adds to the already immense collection of incredible poetry with his name written at the top. The piece opens with a quote from Inferno. The quote sets the tone for … Continue reading Eliot’s Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Modernism……… yikes.
Hi everyone! Modernism is a term that for some reason has never come easily to me. It has always, for as long as I have been learning about it, confused me. So when I saw that we were to write a blog post for modernism, I can not say I was thrilled, but here I … Continue reading Modernism……… yikes.
The Entire System Should Be Lit On Fire (Modernist Blog Post)
I was torn between talking about Mina Loy’s work or Hardy’s work. I contemplated talking about both in this blog post, but I honestly felt as though it would not do either of them justice. In other words, I’m going to talk about Mina Loy’s “Feminist Manifesto” because, hot damn, I’ve never been in such … Continue reading The Entire System Should Be Lit On Fire (Modernist Blog Post)
A Post Trying that is Trying to Focus on the Victorian Era, but is Really Just My Musings on Genre and a Promo for Virginia Woolf/ Modernism
Hi, hello, I'm having a hard time trying to get myself to care as much about the Victorian pieces we read! Honestly, it feels like we hardly even spent any time with the Victorians (I think Kristin said this somewhere too)? I think it's partially because g o d, what has even HAPPENED since we … Continue reading A Post Trying that is Trying to Focus on the Victorian Era, but is Really Just My Musings on Genre and a Promo for Virginia Woolf/ Modernism
