The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is the masterpiece written by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in 1886. The story is set in Victorian-era London and revolves around the dual nature of human beings. The plot follows the character of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected and mild-mannered scientist, who becomes obsessed with the idea of separating the good and evil sides of his personality. To do this, he invented a potion that transforms him into Mr. Edward Hyde, a sinister and violent alter ego. As Hyde, Jekyll gives in to his darker impulses and commits heinous acts without fear of consequence. The work explores themes of duality, morality, and the consequences of unchecked desires. It delves into the idea that within each person, there is a potential for both good and evil, and the story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of suppressing one's inner demons. Throughout the narrative, Jekyll struggles to control Hyde, but the transformations become increasingly uncontrollable, leading to a suspenseful and tragic climax. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a classic examination of human nature and remains a popular work in literature and has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and other forms of media.

THOMAS HARDY
Thomas Hardy was a famous English writer and poet of the 19th and 20th centuries. His most famous works include novels such as "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" and "The Mayor of Casterbridge," often set in a region inspired by the southwest of England. Hardy had a pessimistic view of the world and criticized Victorian society. He was also a well-known poet, whose poems reflected man's fragility in the face of time and nature. There was no shortage of controversy over the bold themes of his works, but his influence on English literature has endured, and his works continue to be studied for their depth and realism in their portrayal of life in England.Many of his works are set in rural Wessex, a fictional but inspired region from the south-west of England, where he was born and raised. In addition to novels, Hardy was also a well-known poet. His poems often reflected his concern with the destructive effect of time and nature on man. After the publication of "Judges the Harpy!" by 1895, Hardy concentrated primarily on poetry and wrote fewer novels. He continued to write until his death.

EMILY DICKINSON
Emily Dickinson, born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, came from a middle-class Puritan family. She attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary but refused to publicly declare her faith due to Puritan traditions. She returned home and led a secluded life, rarely leaving her father's house except for garden walks.
1854
She exclusively wore white attire, symbolizing spiritual purity and singleness. Her time was spent with family, especially her sister Lavinia, and a few friends with whom she exchanged beautiful letters. Letter-writing was her primary form of communication, and her poems were often written for personal expression rather than publication.
Throughout her life, Dickinson wrote nearly 2,000 poems but allowed only seven to be printed. She passed away in 1886, and four years later, a selection of her work was published. In 1890, "Poems by Emily Dickinson" was released with alterations to suit traditional tastes. A more comprehensive edition, restoring the original form of her poems, was published in 1955. Additionally, a collection of her letters was published in 1958.

1854
Her poetic style, similar to Walt Whitman's, is characterized by the use of questions, intuitions, and moods rather than direct statements. Her poems are short, composed of untitled quatrains, and the language is simple, with monosyllabic words. She draws imagery from unexpected sources like law and geometry, and she uses capitalization and dashes to create pauses, providing spaces for the reader's reflection.
