Oliver Cromwell And The English Civil War
[ send me this paper ]
25 pages in length. The English Civil War was waged for several reasons, none of which are atypical to the origin of most every war in history. Power, greed and fear are the primary instigators that propel people and countries into the ravages of battle, often never solving the problem that threw them into war in the first place. Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads’ participation were instrumental in the English Civil War, establishing a quest for revenge in exchange for the years of oppression they suffered. Indeed, the Roundheads, under Cromwell’s rule, were a strong force to be reckoned with; it was as a direct result of their moral commitment to battle that they came to be known as an incredible fighting force. The writer discusses the causes of the English Civil War, as well as focuses upon Cromwell and the Roundheads. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Glorious Revolution
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the bloodless revolt of 1688-89, referred to as the "Glorious Revolution," the competing political factions of the country, the Whigs and the Tories, united to dispose James II and in favor his daughter Mary and her husband, William, Stadtholder of the Netherlands. While this extraordinary chain of events may seem out of context with the century of stability and security that followed, it really was not. As William B. Willcox, of Yale University, has pointed out, it was James II who was the revolutionary and not the insurrectionists. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

How The Crusades Influenced A Cultural Change In Art and Literature
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. The Crusades were highly influential with regard to the cultural changes in art and literature. Their contributions are noted in any number of ways, which
are easily detected merely by interpreting the number of literary works and artistic designs that were prevalent during that period. There existed a certain political correctness that was associated with the manner in which the crusades influenced -- and even represented -- the art and literature that followed their lead. The writer discusses how the Crusades afforded a considerably elevated level of civilized culture as it pertained to artistic and
literary styles. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Nobility & Peasantry in Medieval Times
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison and contrast of the lives of peasants and nobles during medieval times in Europe. Without even delving deeply, this is a subject which obviously contains far more contrasts than comparisons, especially in comparing to the differences between the elite and the commoner today. The nobles of medieval times were less involved with any form of rigid work or quest for
mere survival, which contrasts highly with the lives of the peasants who were continuously concerned with their survival, and the survival of their families and friends.
This is but one of the many issues addressed herein. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

institutions of colonial America. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

17th England & Transformation
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that discusses the 17th century as a time of transformation in England. The writer argues that the seventeenth century was a period of rapid change in England, economically, politically and religiously. In his text The Century of Revolution, historian Christopher Hill argues persuasively that this was a period of transformation. The view of the seventeenth century presented by Hill shows that it was nothing less than the period in which the modern world began to take shape. No additional sources cited.

A Comparison of Brigden’s “New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors 1485-1603” and the Movie “Elizabeth”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page comparison of Susan Brigden’s text “New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors 1485-1603” and the film “Elizabeth”. Susan Brigden’s text “New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors 1485-1603” gives a broad historical account of the Tudor era in England during its almost 120 year rule throughout the 15th to early 17th centuries. Brigden’s background knowledge on the Reformation in England at that time is effective but perhaps not properly displayed in her text as much of the religious and political detail was excluded in lieu of the inclusion of selections of poetry and prose from the era to provide the book with more depth and color. Overall, the effect was not well received by the critics who craved more historical detail. The film “Elizabeth” directed by Shekhar Kapur, on the other hand, provides a more in depth look at the political but somewhat more personal details of Elizabeth’s reign from 1558 until her death and the end of the Tudors in 1603. The images portrayed in the film show the often gritty side of the religious fervor which shook Tudor England outside of the political elite emphasized in Brigden’s book. Audiences must be aware however that artistic license may be more in effect in “Elizabeth” however than within Brigden’s historical text but taken together “New Worlds, Lost Worlds” provides a good background for the reign of Elizabeth brought to life in the film “Elizabeth”.
