Paper Abstract:
Examines origins & evolution of political & religious antagonism between England & Ireland & reasons why movement for Irish home rule failed.

Paper Introduction:
IRISH QUESTION AND HOME RULE This research paper examines the nature and origin of the Irish question, the political antagonism between England and Ireland, and the reasons why the movement for home rule for Ireland failed. By the second half of the 19th century an accumulation of deep grievances had impeded progress toward a more normal or healthy relationship between England and Ireland which dated back many centuries and had deep historical roots. Despite some reforms, the Union of England and Ireland in 1800 had been opposed by significant elements of the Irish middle and upper classes which became focused upon a demand for home rule, self-government within an imperial framework. In the middle 1880s home rule was supported by Prime Minister William Gladstone's Liberal Party and government. It failed to pass Parliament in

Paper Abstract:
Examines reign of 16th Cent. queen, focusing on self-serving aspects of her role as patron of the arts.

Paper Introduction:
The special character of the arts patronage of Elizabeth I and her Court derived from the many anomalies inherent in the 45-year reign of an unmarried woman to whose questionable legitimacy (of birth as well as right to rule) was added her consistent failure to marry or, in later years, to name her successor. The great number of issues raised by these circumstances were addressed in the painting, literature, music, and pageantry sponsored by Elizabeth and by the members of her Court. Over the course of the Queen's long reign there was considerable variation in the particular issues that needed to be addressed and in the strategies invoked to deal with them. But in all instances the ideas expressed in officially-sponsored art and pageantry were calculated to reinforce the legitimacy and stability of Elizabeth's rule. This was manifestly a joint effort since the

Paper Abstract:
Examines 17th Cent. king's art collection as his greatest accomplishment.

Paper Introduction:
Charles I (r. 1625-49) was a poor statesman whose deep belief in the divine right of kings was adhered to with a stubbornness that eventually led him to the scaffold. His single greatest accomplishment, his art collection, was assembled in the service of that ideal notion of kingship and it was not allowed to stand as his memorial. Charles managed the kingdom badly, was a poor diplomat and politician, provided unsound leadership, and refused to recognize the implacable nature of changes in society. The arena in which he did excel was that of display. Despite the rebellions, the civil wars, the foreign wars, the struggles with Parliament, and, most of all, the stricken economy, Charles' reign was marked by splendid entertainments, costly show, and the assembling of one of the finest art collections in Europe. When added to the perception of Charles' popish tendencies, his

Paper Abstract:
Reviews work on 18th Cent. Scottish rebellion against British Crown.

Paper Introduction:
In his book Culloden, historian John Prebble writes the story of a key event in Scottish history when a force under the leadership of the Duke of Cumberland entered Scotland and marched on Culloden Moor, where Prince Charles, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, fought back with a poorly armed force of 7,000. The British were better armed and better trained, and they repelled the would-be invader and the Scottish army he had gathered to assist him. Charles at the time was in retreat, and once his army was crushed, he was in full flight. He would remain a thorn in the side of the British Crown during his exile, but the Stuart cause ceased to be a real problem with the defeat of Charles by the Hanoverian rule of George II. The Jacobites wanted to return the Stuarts to power, and this was perhaps their boldest and last real attempt to overthrow Hanoverian rule and

Paper Abstract:
Life, career, legend, military & political exploits & death of 12th Cent. British king.

Paper Introduction:
Many powerful personalities have occupied the British throne throughout the 1200 year history of the Monarchy. From Alfred’s unification of the various English Kingdoms in 871 AD, to Henry VIII’s creation of the Anglican Church as means to circumvent the catholic ban on divorce, to the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936 in order to marry a twice-divorced commoner, many of the British Monarchs have embodied the character that has insured them an easily recognizable place in history. No king, however, has earned more conflicting opinions than Richard the Lionheart. Historians have afforded Richard both great praise and great criticism. He has been portrayed as a great crusader, a poet, and the one of the last romantic heroes of a dying age of chivalry (Smith 71). His place in legend is undisputed and is based on substantially true events. Many historians, however, have

Paper Abstract:

Paper Introduction:
Of all modern political groups the Fabian Society of Great Britain may have remained truest to its name. Unlike all the Democratic, Socialist, Liberal, Labor, and Communist groups, the Fabian name referred to a strategy rather than to an ideology. The name was taken from the Roman general Fabius Cunctator whose fame rested on his skill at defeating superior forces by means of wily tactics, great patience, and the avoidance of full-scale confrontation. The Fabian Society, founded by Thomas Davidson in 1883, aimed at the introduction of a socialist state in Great Britain. Unlike many groups that advocated various forms of socialism, however, the Fabians rejected the idea of revolution in favor of gradual, evolutionary change in the existing political and economic structure. The Society experienced periods of low activity during more than a century of existence,

POSITION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM (1998) ON EURO ADOPTION Introduction This research examines the position of the United Kingdom (UK) toward full participation by the UK in the common currency (the Euro) which will be implemented by participating member states of the European Community (EC) on 1 January 1999, with full monetary integration of the participating nations to be effective on 1 January 2002 (the date on which Euro coins and notes will begin to circulate). As confirmed at the meeting of the leaders of the 15 member states of the EC on 2 May 1998, the UK will not be one of the 11 member states that will initially participate in the European common currency, which will create the full monetary union of those states (Cornwell, 1998).

Paper Abstract:
Reviews historical novel exploring power of Church of England & king in Middle Ages.

Paper Introduction:
This research will discuss The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett, especially the power of the Church of England. The research will give an overview of the church's extensive economic holdings and will focus on the King's power, but show how it was shared with church leaders, who had the weapon of religious authority. The discussion will also include how the characters in the book were affected by the church's influence. The research will show the types of overall influence which the church had on society and politics and how the church helped England avoid anarchy after the heir to King Henry's throne died in 1120. Follett's book opens in England with a man's hanging (11). The death is cursed by a girl (15-16), who is later introduced as Ellen (the beautiful outlaw who lives in the forest (36)) and

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of biography, with primary sources, of 9th Cent. English king.

Paper Introduction:
King Alfred enjoyed a good reputation as seen in various accounts of hi reign written by contemporaries and near-contemporaries. Alfred the Great, son of Aethelwulf, came to the throne in a time of warfare with the Danes, also known as the Vikings. The Danes at the time were making inroads and controlling sections of Northumbria. Alfred forced the Danes to leave Wessex but was still subject to Danish attacks before he was able to rout the enemy at the Battle of Edington. The importance of this victory was considerable and would be Alfred's greatest achievement. It would contribute greatly as well to Alfred's reputation and would feature prominently in histories written about his reign. He would be challenged by the Danes again and would capture London in 886, achieving acceptance then by all the English.

Paper Introduction:
KING PHILIP'S WAR This research paper analyzes the causes, course and effects of King Philip's War in 1675-1676 between the English settlers in the New England colonies and various Algonquian Indian tribes. The origins of the war lay in the inevitable clash between expansionist-minded settlers in the Puritan Northeast and indians who eventually resisted the loss of their lands and their cultural autonomy. The war was one of the bloodiest in American history and set back for decades the economic development of western New England and the expansion of the settlers over the Appalachian range. For the Indian tribes involved, the war effectively destroyed their civilization in New England. Introduction: Origins of the 1675-1676 War Seeds of Conflict. American schoolchildren are taught that

Paper Abstract:
Cultural discoveries & accounts of 18th Cent. explorer in Hawaiian Islands.

Paper Introduction:
Hawaii today is the farthest west state in the Union. It is also the most unusual state in the United States, for it consists of 132 islands and atolls extended across some 1,600 miles of ocean. The eight major islands in the chain are what are usually referred to as Hawaii, and of these, seven are permanently inhabited--Kahoolawe is not (Kyselka & Lanterman, 1980, 1-10). As is true of many parts of the world, the Hawaiian Islands were actually "discovered" more than once. The islands were first discovered by the Polynesians who came to inhabit the region. The West discovered the islands centuries later when they were explored by Captain Cook, a rather controversial figure in Hawaiian history and in the history of exploration and discovery. The first contact with Western ideas and technology came when Captain James Cook accidentally visited the islands with hi

Paper Abstract:
Examines religious, political, historical & personal aspects of his rise, fall & role in Revolution.

Paper Introduction:
James II has the unhappy historical distinction of having been the last English monarch to be overthrown. This event, enshrined in English history as the Glorious Revolution of 1688, marked a fundamental turning point in English political history. Although the reigning monarch would continue to wield great political influence at least through Victoria's reign in the nineteenth century, the overthrow of James II permanently established Parliamentary supremacy. The cause of his fall was the widespread belief that he intended to impose Catholicism on England. The crisis of public religion that precipitated his fall, however, was closely bound up with the question of whether the crown or Parliament possessed ultimate authority. This fundamental constitutional issue had been left unresolved by the English Civil War, the execution of

Paper Abstract:
Examines & compares perceptions of male & female Western/Victorian artists & travelers & cultural intentions of Arab/Oriental society in establishing harems.

Paper Introduction:
The Harem During the 19th Century British Empire Scrutiny of nineteenth century harem life in the East and travellers' responses to what they observed there provides an instructive pair of contrasts. Life in the eastern harems was elaborately organized to provide a constant or stabilizing oasis in the midst of the ongoing chaos which often reigned outside its walls (Walther 10). Travel presents itself as a continual transgression against established boundaries relying upon a nearly constant sense of movement (Leed 3). If as Albert Camus quipped in 1963 "What gives value to travel is fear" (Leed 1), what the orientalist custom of the harem offered was a sense of permanency, even if it was mere illusion, derived from an intricate design of restriction. When Westerners visited the Far East, their eye was often tricked and failed to see this lavish

Paper Abstract:
Examines abuses & defects of English mercantilist system as cause of Revolution.

Paper Introduction:
The beginning of the American Revolution was instigated at least in part by the British mercantilist economic system governing the relationship between the mother country, England, and the thirteen colonies, a policy which led to an unfavorable balance of payments with reference to the colonies. The colonies bought the goods and services of the mother country and were encouraged to develop those raw materials the home capitalists required. The colonies were aided by the investment of the mother country?s balances and by new capital. Mercantilism was a general economic theory popular in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries and followed by all colonial powers of the time. It contributed to the onset of the American Revolutionary War because of the British policy aimed at building strong, wealthy, and independent national

Paper Abstract:
Life, career & political impact of late 19th Cent. English Prime Minister.

Paper Introduction:
Benjamin Disraeli served as the Prime Minister of England in 1868 and again from 1874 to 1880. He was also a novelist of some note in his time, though his works have been all but forgotten in this century. He was also known as the Earl of Beaconsfield and the Viscount of Hughenden. He was a member of the Conservative Party and provided the party with a policy of Tory democracy and imperialism. He was of Italian-Jewish descent. When Disraeli was a boy, his father quarreled with the synagogue of Bevis Marks, and this led to the decision in 1817 for the children to be baptized as Christians. Until 1848, Jews were excluded from Parliament, for members had to take an oath of office "on the faith of a true Christian" (Blake 341), and had his father not made the decision to baptize his children, Disraeli's political career could never have started as it did.

Examines Chancellor of England's (More) refusal to support King's request for annulment of marriage to Catherine of Aragon & remarriage to Boleyn in context of 16th Cent. spiritual & political conflict.

Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine why Thomas More, chancellor of England at the time of Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn, refused to support Henry's request for an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and remarriage to Boleyn. The plan of the research will be to set forth the essential elements of the conflict, including the issues that confronted the major players, and then to discuss, with reference to the text of contemporaneous documents of church and state, More's position as articulated in them and in More's public and private correspondence. The essential elements of the conflict over More's refusal to support the annulment can be seen in the wide context of conflicting spiritual and political priorities that dominated Europe during the Renaissance, and in the narrower context of

Paper Abstract:
Examines roots of British common law & trial-by-peer-jury in feudal Norman England manorialism, land policy, lord-peasant relations.

Paper Introduction:
Modern law in English-influenced judiciaries stems from a variety of sources. It is a not a "pure" tradition, deriving as it does from legal definitions both pre-defined and defined only by accepted conventions. Two key factors in the modern, English-based equation are "common law" and a trial-by-"peer" jury process. The roots of both these factors can be found in the medieval manorial court of feudal Norman England. Two great systems of law dominate the Western world: civil law and common law. Civil law is descended from the codified laws of the Roman Empire; it is used by most European countries. Common law, by contrast, is not embodied in a text or code. Rather, in England - and, by heritage, the United States, United Kingdom and Commonwealth descendants of English judicial tradition - common law grew from the "manorial court" system of

Paper Abstract:
Causes & consequences of rising against Queen Elizabeth's govt. to restore Catholicism. Background, politics, foreign involvement, leaders, reasons for failure.

Paper Introduction:
In the fall of 1569, a rebellion broke out in the North of England against the government of Queen Elizabeth I. The original intention of the active leaders of the rising, the Earl of Northumberland and Westmorland, and of the potential leader (who in the event did not actually participate), the Duke of Norfolk, were obscure, unclear, and perhaps ultimately contradictory. In the event, however, the rising of the North took a markedly religious coloration. On November 14, 1569, the rebel force entered the city of Durham. Proceed to the city cathedral, they burned the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and other Protestant books, and celebrated the Catholic Mass there, the first time since the end of the reign of Bloody Mary and the

Paper Introduction:
Britain and the Defeat of France in the Napoleonic Wars This paper will discuss the role of Great Britain in the Napoleonic Wars, focusing upon the role of Britain in France's ultimate defeat and the strategy used by Britain in fighting France. Specifically, the discussion will center around the strategy of using sea power and multinational coalitions to fight Napoleon, rather than directly confronting the bulk of his ground forces in campaigns on the continent. The discussion will also analyze how the Peninsular Campaign fit into this strategy and what effects it had upon France. All of the European ruling classes reacted negatively to the French Revolution in the late 1780s; they viewed it as a dangerous precedent for the classes in their own countries who were essentially excluded from the function of governing.

Paper Abstract:
Relationship of king & his second wife, her role in history of England, her lovers, politics, charge of adultery & beheading.

Paper Introduction:
Anne Boleyn was the second of the wives of King Henry VIII of England, and she was reported to be his favorite wife. The details of her life can be given in a short space--she was only 28 or 29 when she died at the hands of her husband, beheaded because she did not provide him with the heir (male) that he desired (she was the mother of Elizabeth I). She was born around 1507 and died in 1536. Henry became infatuated with her while he was married to Catherine of Aragon, and in order to marry the girl he had to divorce his wife, a step that required breaking with the Roman Catholic Church. Anne and Henry were married in January 1533, and Anne gave birth to Elizabeth in September. Henry soon lost interest in Anne, however, and after the stillbirth of a boy in 1536, he had her arrested and tried for adultery. She was beheaded on May 19, 1536.

Paper Abstract:
Relationship between violence & politics. History of Catholic-Protestant conflict, Bloody Sunday, strategies, British role, IRA, internment, Provos.

Paper Introduction:
On a Sunday in January of 1972, an angry but peaceful civilrights march in Northern Ireland was shattered by gunfire from British paratroopers who had been brought in to act as peacekeepers in the civil strife between Northern Irish Protestants and Catholics. When the shooting was over, 13 unarmed civilian marchers lay dead. In the aftermath, the Troubles in Northern Ireland took a new and more violent turn, and peace has not yet returned to the province. The following essay is a study of the relationship of violence and political leverage. Bloody Sunday, as the shootings in January of 1972 came to be called, was not itself an act designed for leverage. For the British Army, which had done the shooting, it was indeed a severe political setback. But it took place withinand to a degree was made inevitable

Paper Abstract:
Causes of development (exports, demand), relevance to late 20th Cent., agriculture, technology, growth, wages.

Paper Introduction:
A wide range of possible causes can be suggested for the development of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, in advance of comparable development, during roughly the period 17501830. Possible reasons range from the nature of English society, to the country's natural abundance of those basic earlyindustrial materials, iron and coal, to the growth of population at a time when agriculture techniques were improving rapidly, freeing labor to move to industrial work in the cities, to the advantages in export trades which Britain had due in part to its large seafaring sector and its naval power. The tendency of economic historians, however, has been to identify one or a few of these factors as critical, while relegating others to a secondary status as contributory, perhaps, but not necessary.1

Paper Abstract:
Critical review of reporter's one man's view of prime minister's impact through 1988.

Paper Introduction:
This study will provide a book review of Terry Coleman's Thatcher's Britain. Coleman describes his book as "one man's view of Thatcher's Britain." It is "an idiosyncratic picture --- made up of many fragments --- of the parties, the politicians, the people whose votes they sought, and of the country as it revealed itself during the course of the campaign" (Coleman, 1988, foreword). Approaching the campaign and the politicians and people in 1987 in Great Britain from the viewpoint of a reporter, Coleman not unexpectedly gives us a realistic portrait. It is realistic in the sense that he certainly does not paint a rosy picture of the nation, but it is also somewhat hopeful in that he concludes that Thatcher might do some good for those in the nation who most need help. His conclusion, in fact, might fairly be said to be

Paper Abstract:
Founding, purposes, development, politics, credibility, background, goldsmith banking, operations, effect on economy as institution geared to its time.

Paper Introduction:
On May 4, 1696, the Bank of England was caught in the grip of its first crisis. The Bank had based its operation on the standard confidence trick which powers modern financial institutions: lending out the money that had been deposited therein and keeping only a small cash reserve on hand to meet the needs of those wishing to make withdrawals. Such a system works perfectly well when public confidence in the state of the bank, the economy, and the nation as a whole is strong. But by 1696, the English public felt no such sense of security. England was irrevocably locked in a costly and seemingly unwinnable struggle against the France of Louis XIV, the most powerful country in Europe. The depletion of the currency, so long a nagging deflationary force on the economy, had reached crisis proportions in the first half of the decade; as a result, the government had

Paper Abstract:
German preparations & delays, British preparations, phases of battle.

Paper Introduction:
The Battle of Britain cost Germany and Adolf Hitler the war. Following the ouster of British forces from the continent at Dunkirk and the defeat of France by Germany, an immediate invasion of England would have made a logical and successful one-two punch for Hitler. Launching such an attack against a British Navy and Army still in disarray would have forced the Allies to negotiate for peace. Instead, poor advance planning by the Nazi high command, and Hitler's own indecision and pride about a negotiated peace with Churchill and Great Britain cost him valuable time. Ultimately, disunity among Hitler's Generals and the Feuhrer's own paranoia about Berlin being bombed, forced changes in air tactics that changed the outcome of the war and the face of Europe. German Preparations for Invasion

Paper Abstract:
Examines nature & impact of late 19th Cent. British monarch's reign.

Paper Introduction:
Only two British monarchs have made such an impression that their given names have become synonymous with their eras. Both, it happens, were women: Elizabeth I and Victoria. Several British kings do have historical periods associated with their names  "Jacobian" for James I and "Edwardian" for Edward VII  but neither approaches the everyday familiarity and resonance of "Elizabethan" and "Victorian," their ability to evoke an era with a word. No doubt two factors that they had in common were the sheer length of their reigns, and the association of those reigns with distinctly marked historical periods. But the individual qualities of these two women also played a part in making them personifications of their eras. In some ways, Victoria's achievement in becoming the symbo
