Holderness

seen at Aldbrough, on the Holderness coast. The cliffs on this coastline are particularly soft and are made of a mixture of clay, silt, sand, and gravel. This makes the Holderness coastline extremely susceptible to coastal erosion, and presently erosion rates in this area are estimated to be around 1.5 metres per year, and since the roman time, 30 villages have been lost. This coastal erosion is having extreme social, economic and environmental impacts within the area. Farms along the coast are is losing land and profits each year as the land is eroded away, the Industry at Easington in danger as the land has fallen away and the gas terminal is now too close to the sea. This could affect the whole of the UK as a large amount of the North Sea oil is supplied here. This high rate of erosion is also causing the local towns and villages to having to spend millions on sea defences, the sea wall in Easington cost £4.5 million and the rock groynes in Mappleton built in 1991 cost £2 million. This high rate of land loss as caused many of the local areas to go into a spiral of decline as there is now very little new investment to sustain the local communities, also many of the properties along this coastline are losing their value lose their value, which has resulted in placing owners in negative equity, (Patrick Barkham 2015). Along with the local economies being impacted by this sea level rise, the local environment and ecology are also being damaged. The Holderness coast is home to…

The Holderness coast is located on the east coast of England. Although it is popular among tourists and bird watching afrionados, at the same time, It is one of the Europe’s fastest eroding coast lines. Approximately 2 million tonnes of material get eroded, which is about 1 to 2 meters of erosion occurs every year.

For this scholarship review I have picked two articles with which I’d like to create a dialogue between. The first is “Compilation, Commentary, and Conversation in Christine de Pizan” by Julia Simms Holderness. The second is “Christine de Pizan: The Poetess as Historian” by Nadia Margolis. Both discuss the writing of Christine de Pizan. Holderness argues, ultimately, that Christine was more conscious with her writing decisions than she may be given credit for, while Margolis’ article can be…

Democracy and continues through to his long essay "From Fortune to Feedback" (2006), on the origins of the American Constitution. This argues that eighteenth century constitutional theory cannot be understood until one comprehends the role played by metaphors of machinery, such as 'checks and balances”'. In 1992, after David Wootton carefully observed the work of Stephen Greenblatt, his work adopted an increasingly interdisciplinary character. Within Greenblatt’s work, Greenblatt has argued…

Setting is defined as the physical and social context in which the action in the story takes place. Setting can be a time, place, or social environment (Meyer, 2014).
