You can make your English dissertation on these
personalities
Thomas More
His work ‘Utopia’ can be

A student can also write whether Thomas considered himself to be
influenced by modernism or medieval era.
Francis Bacon
His book ‘New Atlantis’ was a
study in the concept of scientific
rationalism

uprising of the scientific elite so favored by the

His work can be compared against Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and
contrasted against the above two books.

Disraeli on the ‘aesthetic
theory’
