Kenneth O'Reilly's Racial Matters In his book Racial Matters, Kenneth O’Reilly presented the facts as he sees them, with little interpretation.

John Kenneth Galbraith The Canadian-born, Berkeley-trained John Kenneth Galbraith has been considered by many as the "Last American Institutionalist". As a result, Galbraith has remained something of a renegade in modern economics - and his work has been nothing if not provocative.

Douglas Bush says of Keats, "For him the common sights of Hampstead Heath could suggest how poets had first conceived of fauns and dryads, of Psyche
Comparing Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein Most Americans have some idea of who Frankenstein is, as a result of the many Frankenstein movies.

The Use of Flashback in Kenneth Branagh's Henry V In Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Henry V flashback is used at key moments to comment on the action and to explain points in Henry's past, and how that past effects his present judgment.

The result is an amalgam of scenes, lines, and characters which brings about a telling expose of Henry V, and the man he was before

The classic play of Hamlet, by Kenneth Branagh (1996) and Franco Zeffirelli (1990), bring forth two different analyses and versions of Shakespeare’s script.

The most obvious differences were the setting including time period, how characters were portrayed in terms of both personality and social class and costumes. Franco Zeffirelli
