Abstract
This paper takes a look at the Julia Barnes' somewhat cynical view of reality as a human construction in her novel "England, England". The paper focuses on the characters' attempts to cope with reality and their desire to look past the constructions in their own and others' lives.
From the Paper
"In "England, England", Julian Barnes theorizes that what people perceive to be reality is merely a construction. He argues that people create this construction for themselves because of a desire to simplify their lives. What people consider to be true memories and actual history are distortions, no more real than stories, except in that people believe these memories and histories to be real."

Constructions of Reality in Julian Barnes' "England, England", 2000.

Abstract
This paper explores the theme of make-believe reality in Julian Barnes' "England, England", which is presented through the character of Martha. The question posed is whether there even is such a thing as objective reality, and whether, if there is, it can satisfy anyone, and the conclusion appears to be that people ultimately prefer a constructed reality.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the novel, Barnes sets up the idea that reality, as people think of it, is constructed. Martha reasons: ?If a memory wasn?t a thing but a memory of a memory of a memory, mirrors set in parallel, then what the brain told you now about what it claimed had happened then would be colored by what had happened in between? (6). She continues by reasoning that ?an element of propaganda, of sales and marketing, always intervened between the inner and the outer person? (7). While a person may claim that he/she remembers something clearly, he/she has actually filtered and changed around the memory, infusing it with an element of make-believe."

From the Paper
"Lawrence Stone, in The Family, Sex, and Marriage in England, 1500-1800, argues that the causes of radical changes in the home and in relations between men and women in England during those three centuries were manifold. Stone also argues that while some of the transformations were negative, most were positive and were precursors of elements which exist in free societies today. These conclusions on the part of Stone stand in stark contrast to the ideas of Friedrich Engels. In The Condition of the Working Class in England, Engels argues that the changes were almost wholly negative, and that the cause was singular---the dehumanizing, exploitive and alienating impact of capitalism in its early stages.
In terms of accuracy, Stone's thesis is more convincing than Engels', for the wide variety and dramatic nature of the changes..."

"The center of the square houses a large column with a statue of Captain Nelson at the top. The bronze lions surrounding Nelson's column are said to be made from the cannons of the ships the British Fleet captured during the battle (Wikipedia), and, I'm sure, makes it hard for anyone who sits on them to forget where they came from. The square was designed to draw attention to the column with a large area for seating or strolling available. Two fountains with statuary of mermen, mermaids, and dolphins made of bronze (Urban) adorn the square. The fountains were added in 1845 and remodeled in 1939 by Lutyens (Urban)."

Abstract
Examines the nature of the Bank of England, England's monetary policy and the recent history of the pound. Included in this study is a look at how the value of the Pound is determined and England's position on European Monetary Union.
From the Paper
"Many feel that much of Britain?s autonomy centers on Sterling and the Bank of England. The United Kingdom was the most prominent country to have abstained from Europe?s effort to create a common currency, which caused such prominent and popular political figures as Lady Margaret Thatcher to be ousted. Once a mere cog in the economic hegemony of the United States following the Bretton Woods conference, England is a currency trading powerhouse, with nearly 700 billion pounds sterling trading hands every day in London?s interbank market. In that many believe or once believed the currency issue to have the ability to economically castrate Britain, the nature of the Bank of England, monetary policy, and the recent history of the Pound deserve our redress."

Abstract
The City of London is only a very small part of Greater London, taking up little more than a square mile in area. The paper shows that the City of London is usually referred to as just The City, and today it is devoted primarily to business and finance. The paper explores several historical sites which make up the City of London, including the Bank of England and Lloyds of London.
From the Paper
"A central anchor to the City is the Bank of England. It was established by Act of Parliament and operates under a Royal Charter. It was founded on July 27, 1694 with a staff of nineteen in rented premises, and its capital, Bank of England Stock, represented the start of the Funded National Debt. In 1734, the Bank moved to a building specially designed for it in Threadneedle Street in the City of London. From the beginning, the institution concentrated on issuing notes for deposits made with it, and these would be the forerunners of today's bank notes.
The Bank of England also acted as banker to the government and to most departments of state as well as managing and acting as the registrar of government securities. With the expansion of the Bank's business in the early 18th century, it was necessary to extend the 1734 building, and by 1828 it covered the whole of its present three acre site.

France and England in the Middle Ages, 2002.
A discussion of why England achieved centralized power in the Middle Ages and why France became more powerful than England in the 13th century.
1,362 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 45.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how both France and England vied to become the most powerful monarchies in Europe and how throughout the 13th and 14th century, wars for land and supremacy were fought until each became a power in its own right. It focuses on the questions of how England achieved centralized power much faster than France, due to the political and territorial layout of the country and how France become more powerful than England in the 13th century due to the leadership of Louis the IX and other events culminating in the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 which forced the English king to relinquish much of his power.
From the Paper
"The King of France was only able to achieve centralized leadership through territorial sovereignty through inheritance, marriage and finally war. This was not an easy task because there was a great deal of loyalty within the cities and they supported their local jurisdictions. The problem was finally resolved when the Crown allowed regional powers to maintain some of their local customs and laws but was governed by a selected official of the Crown.
But France had to struggle with the clergy and issues that would affect them as well as the constituency. They never quite achieved the level of support for royal initiatives from the church that was needed to perpetuate the Crown as a central authority."

?Julius Caesar? and Elizabethan England, 2002.
A discussion of William Shakespeare's ?Julius Caesar? and life in Elizabethan England.

Abstract
This paper reviews William Shakespeare's play ?Julius Caesar? and examines how it was accepted and performed at the time in Elizabethan England. It provides a history of the Globe theatre where many of Shakespeare's plays were performed beginning with "Julius Caesar" and examines life in the theatre district of London at the time. It attempts to analyze why the play was so popular when it first came out and why a subject such as tyrannicide was presentable in a country governed by a monarch. It looks at how it contained all of the political and social intrigues necessary to make it a timeless classic and all the puerile blood and gore that was needed to entertain a group of theater-hopping commoners in what was considered London?s seediest neighborhood.
From the Paper
"The play was written and performed in 1599 at the Globe theater in Southwark, London. Southwark is located on the south bank of the Thames river, and was traditionally considered the vice district. This section of London was home to 10% of its population, and more than its share of the city?s beggars. In 1594 the Lord Mayor, Sir John Spencer, asserted that parts of Southwark were "very nurseries and breeding-places of the begging poor" who swarmed the streets of the City. He estimated the number of these beggars at 12,000, and requested a meeting of several local magistrates in an attempt to banish them from the City or prevent them from crossing the Bridge."

"The Lonely Londoners", 2008.
An analysis of the novel "The Lonely Londoners" by Samuel Selvon.
3,852 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 105.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Lonely Londoners" is the story of the West Indian immigrants who struggle to survive on "the diamond pavements of Caribbean London." It looks at how the constant skimping and scraping for a living which Selvon depicts throughout the book seems to suggest that he does not approve of large numbers of West Indians trying to settle in England and how they would have more fun and be happier if they lived in their country.
From the Paper
"The novel starts with the arrival of Henry Oliver, Galahad, from Trinidad. Moses, the main character, goes to Waterloo Station to meet him. It is a very important place, because it is the point through which all the West Indies enter England. " With the opening scene, Selvon introduces readers to a nondescript public space that was fast becoming a Caribbean gathering site and that was serving in the 1950s as the smaller-scale, British equivalent of New York's Ellis Island." Thus, it has become the symbol for West Indian immigrants, and it is a place of not only arrivals, but also departures. Some people go there just to see familiar faces. "They like to see the familiar faces, they like to watch their countrymen coming off the train, and sometimes they might spot somebody they know." Moses feels homesick when he arrives at the station.

England's Financial Systems, 2007.
This paper studies England's financial system and its impact on the American revolution.
3,315 words (approx. 13.3 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 94.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the American Revolution was largely the result of England's financial policies. In order to understand how England's imposition of taxes helped lead to the American Revolution, the writer points out that one must first understand England's financial system at the time of the Revolution. The writer notes that during that time period, England was the world's largest imperial power, and its financial strength depended on two things: the wealth of its colonies, and its ability to control those colonies. Having gained an understanding of British colonialism, the writer maintains that one must then understand the specific acts that the British passed to target the American colonies. The writer concludes that it is clear that England's financial system, rather than any form of political tyranny, was responsible for the American Revolution.
From the Paper
"At the time of the American Revolution, England had vast global holdings. Obviously, much of North America had been colonized by the British, but the American colonies represented only part of England's holdings. In fact, the British controlled the majority of islands off North America and in the Caribbean. Furthermore, the British controlled large parts of India, parts of Eastern Asia, and much of Africa. The result is that Britain had an empire that rivaled the Roman Empire or the lands controlled by Alexander the Great. The British Empire was, in reality, far vaster than either of these preceding empires because it included such a tremendous portion of the New World, which had not yet been discovered during those two previous large empires."
"This vast colonial system was incredibly lucrative for England, but it also created a significant financial burden. First, in order to secure the colonies, the English often had to expend tremendous financial and human resources. For example, although initial colonization of the United States was relatively inexpensive, Great Britain had to wage military actions against the French and several Native American tribes to retain control over the claimed area."

The Role of Women in 19th Century England, 2002.
This paper compares two essays about the role of women in 19th Century England written by Sarah Stickney Ellis (excerpt from ?The Wives of England?- 1843) and Jeanne Deroin (excerpt from ?Almanach des Femmos?- 1852).

Abstract
This paper defines that these two critical essays are essential studies of how women?s role in 19th Century English society shifted from one of subordination to a more liberal, even radical criticism of the society?s treatment of women. This paper discusses Ellis? essay, which talks about women?s subordination to men and Deroin's later essay, which criticizes the unjust and unequal treatment of the society to its women, particularly in their role as wives, mothers, and as women inside the family institution.
From the Paper
"Ellis? essay, an excerpt from her book, ?The Wives of England,? talks about the ways and actions a woman must portray in public in order to be considered an intelligent and ?rational? individual by her society. The essay is described as an advisory about the necessary actions a woman must do in order to make their husbands, or the men, ?feel like kings in their own households and thereby become aware of just how much they need their devoted wives.? Ellis started her essay by stating that the role of men in the society is essential and their role as the ?head of a household? are both vital functions to which the males of the society must attend. In effect, Ellis makes it clear that the role of women fades in comparison with the important work men must do to both maintain the stability and security of the society and his family."
