Christina Georgina Rossetti, one of the most important women poets writing in nineteenth-century England, was born in London December 5, 1830, to Gabriele and Frances (Polidori) Rossetti. Although her fundamentally religious temperament was closer to her mother\'s, this youngest member of a remarkable family of poets, artists, and critics inherited many of her artistic tendencies from her father. Judging from somewhat idealized sketches made by her brother Dante, Christina as a teenager seems to have been quite attractive if not beautiful. In 1848 she became engaged to James Collinson, one of the minor Pre-Raphaelite brethren, but the engagement ended after he reverted to Roman Catholicism. When Professor Rossetti\'s failing health and eyesight forced him into retirement in 1853, Christina and her mother attempted to support the family by starting a day school, but had to give it up after a year or so. Thereafter she led a very retiring life, interrupted by a recurring illness which...

ELEdward Lear
Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned today primarily for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularised. Lear was born into a middle-class family in the village of Holloway, the 21st child of Ann and Jeremiah Lear. He was raised by his eldest sister, also named Ann, 21 years his senior. Ann doted on Lear and continued to mother him until her death, when Lear was almost 50 years of age. Due to the family's failing financial fortune, at age four he and his sister had to leave the family home and set up house together. Largely educated by himself, Lear has been described as idiosyncratic yet brilliantly talented[citation needed]. Lear also suffered from health issues. From the age of six he suffered frequent grand mal epileptic seizures, and bronchitis, asthma, and in later life, partial blindness. Lear experienced his first seizure at a fair near Highgate with his...

CCCiprian Ciuciu
(...) Ceea ce e deopotrivă fascinant la Ciuciu este că proza lui poate fi ușor dramatizată, lejer dramatizabilă, fără să dea senzația de scenariu premeditat, el face ieșirea rostirii în act; povestește un act; povestește un act de mimică chiar; teatrul devine în subtext ca suport tehnic de înțeles compulsivul necesar afișării personajului. Există un fir roșu care străbate prozele scurte ale lui Ciprian Ciuciu, o problemă a comunicării pusă altfel, același falling down care este vădit alimentat de un filon patologic cît și de o hipersensibilitate pe care autorul o pasează personajelor sale. La bun exemplu Gregor Samsa nu se mai metamorfozează în gîndac ci trăirile lui și le substituie posibilelor trăiri ale nefericitei viețuitoare de pămînt, parca amintind de proaspăta abordare hollywoodiana din „Armata celor 12 maimuțe” sau „Girl interrupted”. Ce mai aduce prozatorul debutant este plasarea simbolurilor pe post de recursuri de stil și de manieră. El îi conferă personajului atributul de...
