He's such a better speaker than you - he talks like Oscar Wilde wrote all his lines but decided to be sincere about them for a change. Lord Peter Wimsey seems to care so much more than you - when Harriet Vane was accused of poisoning her former lover, Lord Peter knew she didn't do it, and he decided to take her case because he genuinely cared about her, and this led to a delightful scene where he proposes marriage to her in prison. You take cases more out of boredom, and also because the police tend to beg for your help. It's not your fault the fact is that Lord Peter is just.well, truth be told he's a better man than you. There's a new literary detective in my life, and while I will always cherish your silly Belgian antics, Lord Peter Wimsey just understands my needs better - he makes me laugh so much more than you do, and he has that sincerity that you lack. However, it was changed when it was republished, likely because of Heartstopper's success.
Hunt, the first to publish a Keats poem, (“O Solitude” in 1816), went on to publish an essay introducing both Keats and Shelly as young poets to watch, as well as the sonnet “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer” (1816). Keats’s first collection, Poems, was also published in 1816, and while it did not garner much critical acclaim, it introduced his work to luminaries of the English Romantic movement such as Samuel Coleridge and Percy Bysshe Shelley, who recognized Keats’s latent genius. By 1815 Keats had resolved to become a poet, though he stayed in medical school until 1817. He wrote his first extant poem, “An Imitation of Spenser,” in 1814, when he was 19, inspired by contemporary second-wave Romantic poets Leigh Hunt and Lord Byron. While his youth was marked by outbursts of extreme emotion and volatility, he soon matured into a promising young surgeon. John Keats was born in 1795 to a hostler (stableman) in Moorgate, London. Written while Keats was still in school, years before he wrote his series of Great Odes in 1819, “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer” is an early example of Keats’s ecstatic attention, in which his poetic vision examines an external object with Romantic breadth, coupling its physical reality with a rarified nature that Keats could singularly perceive. The poem is the most famous of Keats’s early works and illustrates the transformative power of poetry on the young poet, and, in a broader sense, the ability for art to inspire epiphany in those who encounter it.

The company's focus would be shifted towards a restructured Star Wars canon based on new material. In April 2014, Lucasfilm rebranded the Expanded Universe material as Star Wars Legends and declared it non-canon to the Star Wars' franchise. In October 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm for $4.06 billion. This body of work was collectively known as the Star Wars Expanded Universe for decades. Many derivative Star Wars works have been produced in conjunction with, between, and after the original trilogy of films, and later installments. The series depicts the adventures of various characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". Star Wars is an American epic space-opera media franchise, centered on a film series created by George Lucas that includes Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983).
