The African American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s was a pivotal moment in American history, challenging systemic racism and segregation. Despite living in a nation that championed freedom, African Americans faced severe discrimination, lacking basic rights like voting and access to public spaces. Influential leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X emerged to advocate for change. While the movement achieved significant milestones, it often encountered violent opposition from law enforcement and civilians, highlighting the struggle for equality.
The exploration of 19th-century patriarchal society reveals how Mary Shelley’s upbringing influenced her portrayal of gender roles in her novel. While characters initially seem to conform to societal expectations—women confined to domestic roles and men as dominant figures—the analysis suggests a deeper commentary on the marginalization of women. The paper delves into the dynamics of power and influence, highlighting how male characters drive the narrative while female characters remain sidelined, prompting a critical examination of gender within the literary context.

This work offers a new perspective on the study of the sources of S. T. Coleridge’s poetics. The author argues that the philosophical system endorsed by the Cambridge Platonist Ralph Cudworth significantly contributed to the genesis of Coleridge’s concept of the symbol and its related symbolic knowledge.After an initial view on the different articulations the symbol acquired in Coleridge’s theorizations over his career, the book reverts to the poet’s formative years from 1795 to 1798, in order to reveal the roots of the concept.Apart from discussing Coleridge’s direct readings of Cudworth’s The True Intellectual System of the Universe in the years 1795 and 1796, the author explores the reception of Cudworth’s ideas in a number of philosophers’, scientists’, poets’ and literary theorists’ works of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries which were, in turn, read by the Romantic author. The study also provides new insights into Coleridge’s lectures and poems in which the Coleridgean notion of symbol was Lectures on Revealed Religion , «The Destiny of Nations», «Religious Musings» and the Conversation Poems in the light of Cudworth’s philosophical tenets.
