Abstract
This paper explains that Queen Victoria became Queen of England at the time when the monarchy was weak and unpopular; but, under her leadership, England underwent massive transformation culturally, socially, and politically. The author states that her death in 1910 marked the end of a very successful, challenging, and dynamic period in the history of England. The paper stresses that Queen Victoria's reign became synonymous with revolution and change because she defied traditions and conventions to infuse a new spirit in the empire and the monarchy.
From the Paper
"The country Queen Victoria lovingly called jewel in her crown had turned into a battlefield where Indian mutineers were being killed everyday and British forces had resorted to harsher tactics to control the situation. The Queen on the other hand wanted peace in the Indian region and wanted Lord Cannings, the then Viceroy of India to listen to the grievances of Indian mutineers. She rejected the idea of harsher punishment for captured rebels for Queen Victoria believed this could lead to endless bloodshed and even greater resentment. It was a very tough time for British Crown as a little mistake on the part of the monarch could lead to numerous problems."

From the Paper
"Only two British monarchs have made such an impression that their given names have become synonymous with their eras. Both, it happens, were women: Elizabeth I and Victoria. Several British kings do have historical periods associated with their names .. "Jacobian" for James I and "Edwardian" for Edward VII .. but neither approaches the everyday familiarity and resonance of "Elizabethan" and "Victorian," their ability to evoke an era with a word. No doubt two factors that they had in common were the sheer length of their reigns, and the association of those reigns with distinctly marked historical periods. But the individual qualities of these two women also played a part in making them personifications of their eras.
In some ways, Victoria's achievement in becoming the..."

Abstract
This paper will argue that the depiction of Eleanor of Aquitaine (as played by Katharine Hepburn) in "The Lion in Winter" is of a much more assertive figure than the Queen Victoria (as played by Judi Dench) of "Mrs. Brown". The latter queen, for all her power, is characterized as a repressed emotional woman, while Eleanor is defined by her unconventional social and political assertiveness.

Abstract
This paper examines these poems and shows how they represent the different themes that Tennyson wrote about during his lifetime, and yet they all contain similarities. They are all well written works, that convey thoughts and themes that were very important to Tennyson, like how critical people can be of your work, and Queen Victoria and her reign. He often uses references to the natural world in his poems, and these are no exception. The paper examines how Tennyson also uses many references to love and women.
From the Paper
"Tennyson often writes of women in his poems, and one of the greatest themes he uses surrounding women is their capacity for love, and motherhood. He felt one of the greatest things in the world was love, and this comes through clearly when he writes about women. "...but when he wrote of Victoria, in whom 'a thousand claims to reverence closed... as mother, wife and queen,' or of his own mother as he did in 'Isabel,' he wrote with a power not evinced in the descriptive analyses of the women of his imagination. The women of his brain are pretty girls. The noblest women whom he knew were strong in character and life and love" (Gordon 73)."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Jerrold Packard's "Victoria's Daughters", examines the lives of the five daughters of Victoria, Queen of England: Vicky, Alice, Louise, Lenchen, and Beatrice. It examines how the book tells about each daughter and their families and concludes that it is a good book to read for learning more about the royal family in the 1800s, and the tragedies that can befall anyone, even the royal family.
From the Paper
"Packard focused on how even a royal family cannot escape tragedy. Tragedy will strike even the Queen of England, the most powerful woman in the world in the late 1800's. Her husband was taken from her on December 14, 1861, and then her third child, and second daughter was taken from her on December 14, 1878. Once Prince Albert died, Queen Victoria lived the rest of her life in a state of mourning, and allowed her days to be consumed with self-pity. Her sometimes aloof ways in raising her children would lead to her eldest daughter raising her children in the same aloof manner. This action would lead to Vicky's eldest son, Willy, to become quite harsh with his parents. "

Abstract
This paper examines the life of Edmund Spenser, who was viewed as a love and pastoral poet and also a classical author. It looks at how Spenser's life ran almost identically to the Elizabethan Age, from his birth in a poor family in London to his religious and political views to his eventual move to Ireland, where he wrote his most famous piece, "The Faerie Queen". It discusses how "The Faerie Queen" contains six books and a fragment of a seventh and how, with each book, a virtue is introduced. A story then unfolds to explain how the hero of that particular book obtains the virtue as his ultimate prize. The focus of the paper is on Book One and the virtue of holiness, which was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I. It shows how his use and skill with ancient language coupled with his creation, the Spenserian stanza, presents the reader with a delightful look at medieval England.
From the Paper
"When she finishes the story she starts to faint. The knight comforts her and vows to rescue her hero. They all leave together with the wise dwarf leading the way. Even though Una has been abandoned, misjudged, and betrayed by the man she loves she remains steadfast. She still loves him and wants to free him from his bondage by the giant. On a moral level here she still represents purity and truth. She has never wavered from either although her errant lover certainly has. On the religious level she represents the true church. She is forgiving and welcomes home the worst of sinners. On the historical level she is the Protestant Church."

Abstract
In this paper the author thoroughly examines the profile and properties of the lingerie company Victoria Secrets. The author starts with a summary of the beginnings of Victoria Secrets. He tells us that its founder Roy Raymond could not find a present for his wife and saw an opening in the market. The author proceeds to expand on how the company grew and constantly changed its perspectives on the market, based on the acceptable fashions of each time period. The paper also looks at the marketing ploys of the company, from advertising through to store design, which has made it the most successful lingerie business there is today. Finally the author confirms Victoria Secrets success by stating it has given the customer a lifestyle which incorporates the product.
From the Paper
"With the transformation of the business, its goals also changed. Working on the thought that while bought and wore underwear, they aspired to buy and wear lingerie, the first move was do away with Raymond's goal of having the stores' as some sort of shopping haven for male shoppers. Wexner, along with Senior Vice President, Dan Finkleman realized that while men gave lingerie as gifts, it was women who bought 90% of their own intimate apparel and therefore the company made female customers the sole focus of all its efforts. The main goal of the company in this respect was and is image. Dan McGinn aptly summarizes this and other goals in his case study of the company. He says, "It started with the name Victoria, which conjures up 19th-century England. To further emphasize the veneer of European luxury, catalogs listed the company's headquarters in London, even though it was really in Ohio. And the products themselves stood apart from traditional department store offerings." Another one of the company's major goals was to avoid mistakes made by other lingerie producers, particularly stories such as Frederick's of Hollywood."

Queen Elizabeth the Great, 2003.
Focuses on the pertinent events leading up to Queen Elizabeth I's ascension to the throne in 1558.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Queen Elizabeth I and her rise to power. The paper focuses mostly on events leading up the queen's ascension to the throne rather than her actual reign (which took place between 1558 and 1603), including King Henry VIII's attempts to create a male heir to his throne and his daughter Mary's brief reign. The political and religious aspects of that time period are also discussed.
From the Paper
"I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king." This statement, by Queen Elizabeth I of England, was a telling display of her strength, as well as her fascinating and charismatic personality. Elizabeth Tudor, a powerful image of female authority, ruled over England from 1558 until her death, in 1603. Elizabeth proved to be a strong and successful leader during her reign, and the story behind her acquisition of the throne is a unique one. Life prior to Elizabeth's reign was comprised of many historic events that led to her accession, including political issues, murderous plots, and an extraordinarily atypical childhood. Elizabeth ascended to the throne at a time when England was torn between Catholics and Protestants, when the country was tormented by the French and the Spanish, and unruly leaders from around the realm sought to usurp her crown for themselves. Nevertheless, Elizabeth's reign resulted in a country that was prosperous, affluent, and rich in literature and art."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Charles Martin's poem about sexual liberation entitled "Victoria's Secret." Both the content and structure of the poem are examined. The reviewer first describes Martin's life and career. Then, the poem's metric system is evaluated, including the words and phrases used to accent certain messages and themes. Additionally, the reviewer considers the literary stylization that Martin uses to juxtapose his contemporary message within his education on Victorian era sex. Martin's use of the narrative voice is also analyzed. The author concludes that "Victoria's Secret" is deftly used to look at the deeper social problems of our day, which shows Martin's ability to provide entertaining social commentary hidden within a layer of mockery and wit.
From the Paper
"The first step to understanding "Victoria's Secrets" is to begin to learn of Charles Martin himself, an idiosyncratic poet who has transformed his poetic style to fit within the nuances of both traditional and modern poetry. Martin is not only a noted poet but also a critic and a translator he grew up in New York City and went to Fordham University and received his doctorate from the University of Buffalo . Although within "Victoria's Secret" his focus is on the witty and friendly imitation of traditional Victorian poetry, his specialty is in Latin poetry in which he has published twice. Considered one of the most prominent New Formalists , he has helped shape a transformation in modern form and narrative in poetry. This particular work was included within his book "Starting from Sleep: New and Selected Poems" in which he won the Bess Hokin Award. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the first four books of Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene." It shows how the books offer insight into the author's philosophical and religious observations of the society of his day, in ways that are sometimes comic. It discusses how his work became a substantial contribution to his time's Protestant propaganda and was a saga of human society, politics and even political science.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
A Very Protestant Allegory
Ireland as Faerie Land?
A Magical Queen
Human Nature
An Allegory without End
Concluding Discussion
From the Paper
"Spenser received a fine humanist education according to the standards of his day, en route to what is now Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1569. He belonged to a generation raised on stories of the excesses during the short reign of 'Bloody Mary' (1553-1558) in the whole scale persecution of Protestants, as part of her effort to reverse Henry VIII's break from the Church of Rome. As Spenser completed his bachelor's degree in 1573 and a master's degree in 1576, Ireland had become a religious battleground, a charged colonial environment in which Spenser would spend most of his career. Throughout the first four books of The Faerie Queene one finds a great deal of Protestant imagery in terms of kinds of individual virtue, the forces of temptation and human weaknesses to which the greatest of persons can succumb, Book I devoted to the virtue of Holiness, Book II to Temperance, Book III to the virtue of chastity, and IV to friendship. The next book gives way to a long discussion of justice and what is not justice, and the merits of when it is seen to be effected. Spenser carried on to more political themes in the unitary contributions of the Tudors and, of course, the attainments of Queen Elizabeth I who is referred to in Book I as Lucifera, then as Gloriana and in Books III and IV as Belphoebe, too."

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "The Queen" is an intimate and often shocking portrayal of the Royal Family as it faces the great crisis of the death of Princess Diana. The author believes that film is very much like a Shakespearean play, especially "Hamlet". The paper relates that the entire focus of this film is the conflict between what Diana represented and what the monarchy actually is. The author concludes that, even though the Queen is depicted in the most human and ordinary way, the final emphasis is on her determination and personal power to meet the almost impossible challenge of modernizing the monarchy.
From the Paper
"The second part of the film takes place two months after the funeral of Diana. Referring to the monarchy, the Queen asks Blair if he believes the affection that people feel for this institution will be diminished because of Diana's death and the Royal Family's behavior during that time. Blair replies that he does not feel that people's attitudes will be negative. It is clear during this private conservation with Blair that the Queen intends to be in control. She wants information but not in the form of advice."

The most important is working out a plan on how to help the disabled and handicapped members of the neighborhood. This also applies to elderly people who may have mobility problems. Although the above disaster plan applies to them, a few more points should be taken into consideration. The old and the disabled should provide a spare key to their house to any of the nearby neighbors. All emergency health supplies and necessary medicines should be kept within easy reach."

Abstract
This paper chronicles the tumultuous life of Margaret Tudor, Queen Regent of Scotland, sister of the notorious Henry VIII, and grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots. Although it does touch on the political issues of her day, the author focuses more on Margaret's personal life, including her three marriages, divorce and her struggle to hold her power in a man's world.
From the Paper
"The word queen conjures up an image of beautiful clothes, a doting king, happiness and an idle lifestyle. The life of Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, shatters these myths. Widowed at a young age, she was left to act as regent for her infant son in a climate of political turmoil and dangerous power struggles. As a member of "the weaker sex", Margaret was not taken seriously and was expected to sit back and let others govern Scotland in her name. Margaret refused to do so, and suffered for it. Not even her brother, Henry VIII of England, would aid her unless she agreed to be his pawn. Margaret also flouted convention by marrying for love, not once, but twice, and by divorcing her second husband in a time when marriage was a sacred lifelong bond no matter it's problems. "
