II. The Life of the Rebellious Poe

20、t In the normal conditions, the main impetus in producing literary works comes from the areas outside the literature. The most important creation mood is the social mood. The social mood is caused by the social life, and the social condition.A.Field PlacePercy Bysshe Shelley is born into a rich fami

But bef
