to relate to the play.[endnoteRef:2] Preceding this revelation, however, Ariel, rather obviously, makes a connection to the New World. Ariel states, ?Thou [Prospero] call?dst me up at midnight to fetch dew/ From the still-vexed Bermoothes, . . .? (I, ii, 228-230) This is actually as a double entendre in meaning but it would have been much more apparent to the audience of London. The ?still-vexed Bermoothes? was a reference to the Bermuda which had numerous reports of castaways who were saved by…

This essay is going to examine the cultural phenomenon of the closure of British mines due to the decisions made by Margaret Thatcher during her political career, resulting in a shift of resources. British mines began to rapidly close during Margaret Thatchers political career in the 1980’s. Due to Thatcher’s ideology of monetarism and neo-liberalism, there was a decline in the Marxism system of economic and political thought.

Birth of Culture and Musical Theater The lady smiles while she directs you to your seat. “Third row down, to the two seats at the very left side.” You find your seat as you comfortably start to settle down making sure that you can see the stage since you paid a little more money in order for you to be at the very front closer to the actors. The energy feels excited but still content. You hear the rest of the people talking quietly to the person next to them. The third bell rung however, the…

bride at the young age of 13. Margaret of Bavaria was the daughter of Albrecht of Bavaria, Count of Holland and Hainaut. At the same time, Jean the Fearless’ sister, Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria, married Albrecht of Bavaria’s son, William II, Duke of Bavaria. The weddings were crucial to consolidate Jean the fearless’ position in the low countries.

Two courses of action, it was argued, were required. First, crypto-Judaism could only be overcome by the introduction of an Inquisition; second, Jewish influence over the conversos could only be overcome by their expulsion. These ideas, adumbrated in works such as Alonso de Espina's Fortalitium Fidei, continued to gain ground, and on 27 September 1480 the Catholic Monarchs appointed Inquisitors in Castile who began their work in Seville shortly after (1481). Conversos, often subjected to torture…

Air travel is nowhere near comfortable. A message from Dr. Florence Thomson written in response to an article published in The British Medical Journal in 1953 was, “most passengers are quite unable to rest in comfort in the position allowed, and sleep is quite impossible except in very short snatches” (996). In 2016, nothing changed for the better in this regard; CNN recently published an article about the disruptive passengers in flights and incidents of air rage in airplanes (McKirdy). What…

physiocrats were a group of French economists whose ideas were developed in the wake of the economic and social disorder that was, at least partially, due to the effects of mercantilist policies (Huh, 2016). Physiocratic thinkers such as John Law, Richard Cantillion, and perhaps most notably, Francois Quesnay made lasting impressions on economic thought and were instrumental in establishing the idea of the free market. Unlike the mercantilists, the physiocrats largely believed that the wealth…

THE U.S. ARMY IN WORLD WAR I On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson tended to Congress, requesting a revelation of war against Germany. A little more than two months prior, on January 31, the German government had reported its resumption of "unhindered submarine fighting." With the declaration, German U-pontoons would without cautioning endeavor to sink all boats going to or from British or French ports. Under the new procedure, U-vessels had sunk three American trader ships with a…

Another recent hire has been Benjamin Scott Blake, who is a real boon to the libraries labor collections…

1968: Music As Rhetoric In Social Movements In 1968 social movements sparked rhetorical discourses which occurred in many nations and on hundreds of colleges and in communities across the United States. These rhetorical discourses ultimately changed the direction of human events. Sometimes these points of ideological protests shared views on specific issues, especially demonstrations against the Vietnam War, but each conflict was also its own local conflict. There is no evidence that any…
