Hequembourg, S.B.; (2013) Hobbe's Leviathan: a tale of two bodies, Seventeenth Century, 28(1)

Hobbe's Leviathan is a classic piece of English literature that has excited and raised discussion from the very moment it was penned. In modern times, the piece has been described in a myriad of ways, including Hequembourg's study published in 2013 (although it was written a decade earlier). Hequembourg discusses Hobbes organization and how the first part of the Hobbe's work differs from the body of the work in that neither of the figurative outlines coincides with the other; that they are "fundamentally dissimilar" (p. 22).

This is interesting in that it allows for the use of simile in vastly different styles, but with relatively close results, since both Milton and Homer are oftentimes considered masters of their times and literature.

Michelis, A.; (2010) Food and crime, European Journal of English Studies, 14(2) p. 143-157

This study seeks to discover the interwoven aspects of food and crime as symbols used in English literature, both modern and classical in nature. What the study provides is fodder for discussion about why and how English literature employees both food and crime as symbols, especially in mythical and religious accounts and narrative. This particular study can provide interesting components to a research paper that seeks to establish symbolic interactions that date from the very birth of mankind (ie; Adam and Eve with the apple in the Garden of Eden). Another component, according to this study, is the fact that the crime of cannibalism (the….....
