Abstract
The paper explains that in order to understand the aristocratic opposition to Peisistratus' and Cleisthenes' political programs in Athens and the major difference between the Solon and post-Cleisthenes Athens, we have to briefly look at the Athenian society of pre-Solon era. The paper relates that Athens, along with Sparta, was one of the most prominent Greek city-states. The paper discusses how even though every city-state (or polis) was unique in one way or the other (for example, size, wealth, geographical location) they did share some common traits of which is most notable the political system (Martin, 2000).

From the Paper
"Why did the traditional Athenian aristocracy oppose the political aims of Peisistratus and then Cleisthenes? How did their political agenda seem to threaten the established order of Athenian society, and how different from the time of Solon was Athens following Cleisthenes death? In order to understand the aristocratic opposition to Peisistratus and Cleisthenes political programs in Athens and the major difference between the Solon and post-Cleisthenes Athens, we have to briefly look at the Athenian society of pre-Solon era.

Outline:
Who Were Aristocrats in the Story of "The Princess of Cleaves"
Aristocrats Were Not Happy Though They Had Money and Power

From the Paper
"Before looking at specific details about the aristocratic families, it is important to determine who an aristocrat was. An aristocrat was determined by who his father and mother were. Did they have any royalty in their blood? An aristocrat spent his time playing games and this can be seen in the story with the Prince loving this. "As he was happily turned to excel in bodily exercises, he took a particular delight in them, such as hunting, tennis, running at the ring, and the like diversions" (de Lafayette 4). Others of nobility considered it an honor if they were requested to join the prince in these games or asked to go to a ball."

Abstract
This paper explains that the eighteenth century period of the English royal court and the British aristocracy represents an attempt to acquire the accouterments of classical antiquity, which led to their mass consumption of forms of art, literature, philosophy and even politics. The representation of political philosophy in British great houses, gardens and portraits, the author points out, was dictated by the political and social elites of eighteenth century England, which in turn were dominated by the aristocracy and gentry. The paper reviews the works of various artisans, such as the architect Robert Adams.

From the Paper
"Reuse of earlier styles occurred during the second half of the eighteenth century. Robert Adam (1728-1792) is regarded as the initiator of the Classic Revival. The spirit of the times encouraged greater interest in the past with a new attitude toward history. Interest in the past, in its history and monuments, increased as time went on, and the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii (after 1748) gave it popular appeal. Adam's is considered by many to be the greatest architect of the late 18th century, and a leader of the neo-classical revival in England and Scotland."

Abstract
In this analysis of William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Miss Emily" the writer focuses on the relationship between the townsfolk and Miss Emily. The writer maintains the relationship is predicated upon Miss Emily's being the last survivor of an aristocratic family. The writer discusses her aristocratic pretensions that are undermined by the fact that she is a common murderer.

From the Paper
"Very little of the relationship between Miss Emily and the townsfolk is predicated on the fact that she is a woman and the town leaders are mostly men. However, that relationship is highly predicated on the fact that Miss Emily is the last in the line of an aristocratic family that formerly maintained a position of influence and import in the town. Yet it is a relationship that sours when the inevitable forces of modernity undermine old notions of position and aristocracy. There are a ... "

Abstract
This paper critique's Brose's work "The Kaiser's Army." It argues that by focusing on the military developments prior to the Twentieth Century, Brose sought to shed new light on both the traditionalist and modernist tendencies of the German Army. It also argues that by taking such a narrow view of history, Brose neglects to take into account several other factors that affected German military history at this time.

From the Paper
"Brose details a vivid picture of an aristocratic cavalry that favors the strong morality, courage, and leadership of the German people over innovative machines that not only challenge these resolves but also represent the rising interests of an educated bourgeoisie in the military. On the other end of the spectrum is the German artillery corps that proved the value of technology in the easy victories of the Franco-Prussian War, with the infantry lying precariously in between these two extremes as an artisan and middle class corps lead by old aristocratic and landed gentry."

Abstract
This essay will discuss the play "Tartuffe" by Moliere and seek to describe the text that defines this comedy about aristocratic life in seventeenth century France.
