To find two stories from the 19th century written by different authors, particularly in the dark or horror genre, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by researching well-known authors from the 19th century who wrote dark or horror stories. Some renowned authors from this period include:
- Nathaniel Hawthorne: Known for his dark and moralistic tales, such as "Young Goodman Brown" (1835).
- Mary Shelley: Famous for her Gothic novel, "Frankenstein" (1818).
- Bram Stoker: Author of the iconic vampire story, "Dracula" (1897).
- Robert Louis Stevenson: Known for his chilling novella, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1886).
2. Pick any one of the authors mentioned above and search for one of their horror or dark-themed stories from the 19th century. For example, if you choose Mary Shelley, you can find "Frankenstein" in various editions published in the 1800s.
3. Once you have the first story and author selected, move on to finding a second story by a different author. Explore the works of the remaining authors listed or look for other 19th-century authors famous for their dark or horror stories.
- For Nathaniel Hawthorne, you can consider his short story "The Birth-Mark" (1843) or "Rappaccini's Daughter" (1844).
- If you decide to explore Robert Louis Stevenson, you can look for his short story "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1886) if you haven't picked it already.
4. To ensure that both stories are written by different authors, double-check your selections against the list of authors mentioned above, eliminating any duplication.
Remember to review the specific requirements of your assignment once you've chosen the two stories to make sure they fit the criteria given by your professor or instructor.
