 * Hey again Ottava, great work. A few suggestions for further devolopment:
 * "Tennyson wrote Mariana in 1830 and printed it within Poems, Chiefly Lyrical."
 * What is "Poems, Chiefly Lyrical"? A literary magazine?
 * "However, Mariana, like The Lady of Shallott, is a lyrical narrative. It contains, like the poem Oriana, a refrain that carries through the poem"
 * "like the __" -> "like the ___" = repetitive
 * "The rhyme scheme of the poem, abab cddc efef, ..."
 * Is there a better way of rendering this? I may know what "abab cddc efef" mean only becuase of AP English, but I don't know how many other would...
 * Check the quotation mark placement in line 9-12.
 * "A review by a "Professor Lyall" in 1878 argues, "As descriptive poetry, and for that feature of realistic description so characteristic of Tennyson's muse, 'Mariana' has, perhaps, not been surpassed even by him.""
 * Does "Professor Lyall" need to be quoted here?
