In Lady Audley s Secret, Mary Braddon took to the new form like a duck to water. Using these two works as example, Braddon evolved the mystery and created what is her best selling work ever, Lady Audley s Secret.

- 7204: W.B.Yeats And Leda And The Swan
- ... In the case of Leda, subject of W. B. Yeats' poem "Leda and the Swan," the banner headline may have run as follows: "WOMAN IMPREGNATED BY SWAN, FOUR CHILDREN HATCH FROM EGGS".

The world of rigid custom and law is broken up by 'the uncontrollable mystery on the bestial floor'" (Macrae 157). Thus, his poems almost take on a dual mindset, and can be, at times categorized, much ...

- 7206: Agatha Christie
- ... 347). BIOGRAPHY Born in Torquay on September 15, 1990, Agatha Mary Clarrissa Miller was raised within a firm Victorian home (Gill, p. 1). From early childhood Christie sought hard to hide and protect her inner world from those around her. She was enormously shy and had great difficulty expressing her feelings. Christie considered herself the "slow one" of her family, the child who hated to talk about herself and refused to let anyone enter her beloved secret world (Gill, p.2). Frustrated by her extreme introverted ways, Christie attempted turning to music as a way of expressing herself. This strategy, however, proved to be an ineffective means as she would become stiff and feel inept while performing in front of even small audiences (Gill, p. 3). Christie, feeling like a failure with speech and music, turned to the world of writing. Christie would later say that: "Writing, unlike speaking and playing the piano, is an act of solitude and silence" (Gill, p. 2). Christie thus began to compose with pen. She began with ...
