Having had a quick look through your spec, there's nothing glaringly obvious that I can see about critics. A good way of bringing them into your answers is by associating the ideas to their respective school of thought. If you're making any kind of point about gender (male or female) then you could draw on what a feminist interpretation might say. Similarly with Marxism and class. You can use named critics, but this is difficult to achieve while keeping your writing smooth.

There is in them both the same struggle between a direct, didactic purpose and a purely Romantic inspiration; the same tendency to darken poetic thought with pietistic or transcendental transports ; the same occasional gift of unsurpassed melody

Edmund Gosse

Do you have any clue what this is saying about Rossetti? Please

Google the words you don't know, find easier synonyms and piece the sentence together.:wink: If at any point you can't understand something, don't use it in writing.

No classwork I have to use it for a poem so I need to understand it so I can then come up with ideas to apply it to a poem
