P.S. I'm sorry, that I did not sort the articles in alphabetical order. In the essay, obviously, references should be made by all the rules.

Here are some comments:

Fauvism a loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1904–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and André Derain.

Commentary on 7 chapter of Atonement from Yana D.:

In the style of Nicholas Revett – Nicholas Revett (1720-1804) was a British amateur architect and artist. He is known to be the first who documented the ruins of ancient Athens. He also designed Henry Dawkins’ house (now placed in Trafalgar Park) and the home of Sir Francis Dashwood (now placed in West Wycombe Park) in the manner of Greek buildings. The design of these houses commenced the British Greek Revivalist movement in the architecture. 

A projecting bank – is a bank of a river that projects; “выступающий берег”.

Domed roof – is a roof in the form of dome.

Georgian windows – are large multi-pane windows with typically 5 fenestrations arranged either vertical or horizontal and with an arched of flat pediments. The frame usually has white colour. These windows are typical for Georgian architecture (approximately 1720-1840).

Adam house – is a house built approximately in XV century in Angers, France. The house got his name because of the biblical scene of Adam and Eve near the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil painted on the corner of the house.

Pediment – is an architectural term; it is a decoration shaped like a triangle built over the top of a roof, window etc.

Gluttony – is one of the seven mortal sins; excess in eating.

Avarice – is one of the seven deadly sins; extreme greed for wealth or material gain.

Uncooperativeness – is a lack of desire to help others or do what they ask.

Berlin Olympics – is a summer Olympic Games that was held in Berlin in 1936.

Waterloo Station – is a central London terminus and station.

So for starters, let me put some words for the commentary on the list (see in bold).

... and living for the weekends and his rowing eight...

...she had shared a set, or was it a gyp?

the cozy jargon of Cecilia's Cambridge - the Halls, the Maids' Dancing, the Little Go ...

she knew for a fact that the whole performance, women at the Varsity, was childish really, at best innocent lark.

Looking forward to more words on the list and, what is more impoirtant, the commentary.
