Jonathan Edwards is best known for his frightening, powerful sermon: ¿Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God¿ 
(1741). His sermons had enormous impact, sending whole congregations into hysterical fits of weeping. So, how 
to explain why his ideas were forgotten, left out? 
 
 
 
Resposta: In the 18's the readers started to care about Romantism, and they forgot about religion. Then later in 
the 19's they found some of Edwards works, and brought them back. 
 
 
Gabarito: In the long run their grotesque harshness alienated people from the Calvinism that Edwards valiantly 
defended. Edwards¿s dogmatic, medieval sermons no longer fit the experiences of relatively peaceful, 
prosperous 18th-century colonists.

As Henry James develops, his novels become more psychological and less concerned with external events. In 
James¿s later works, the most important events are all psychological ¿ usually moments of intense illumination 
that show characters their previous blindness. Give an example of these characteristics in one of his last works. 
 
 
 
Resposta: Some of the Henry James novels contains some fiction and criticism. It was the most highly concious, 
sophisticated and difficult of its era. 
 
 
Gabarito: In The Ambassadors, the idealistic, aging Lambert Strether uncovers a secret love affair and, in doing 
so, discovers a new complexity to his inner life.

Her best poems have no fat; many mock current sentimentality, and some are even heretical. She sometimes 
shows a terrifying existential awareness. Like Poe, she explores the dark and hidden part of the mind,
