To inscribe his narrative, he draws upon the isolation, dread, and silence which are the terms of his human confinement; and the underground memoir bears witness to the way in which writing is inherently a sign of survival, a heroic resistance to the one sepulchral Idea. 10 From this case we see that Poe found presences of his lifetime as inspiration for expression.

In large part, Maya Angelou's success as a writer is due to her easy-going style of writing that embraces the reader and conveys thoughts and emotions almost effortlessly. For this style, Angelou owes a great debt to her African-American heritage. Angelou is at her best when she builds on African-American traditions in her work, which she does in practically all of her prose writing, and slips into banality when she abandons them, which is frequently the case in her poetry. The African-American traditions that Angelou uses so well can be traced from Africa to America through cultural ...

Although disgraceful for a nobleman to waste time writing frivolous plays, Oxford as a young man wrote and staged the entertainment for the court. As an adult, he became engrossed in theatrical performances and frittered away his fortunes in support of several writers and actors (Friedman 13). During this time, De Vere also began writing several poems and plays. Much like Samuel Clemens, who wrote under the name of Mark Twain, Oxford adopted the pseudonym Shakespeare.
