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."

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."

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 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.

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
Queen Elizabeth came to the British throne in 1558. Throughout her life, she was asked to marry so that England would have a male heir, but she refused to meet the demands of Parliament by staying the "Virgin Queen" until her death. This paper traces the life of Elizabeth I from her birth in 1533 as the first child of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. It explores reasons why Elizabeth did not fulfill the wishes of her people by marrying, creating instead a powerful image of female authority and national pride.
From the Paper
"Elizabeth's unmarried state was unheard of with any ruler of that era, especially for a queen. The duty of any monarch was to provide heirs to the throne. The ruling dynasty must be preserved so that the country would be at peace and prosper. Marriage was necessary at any level for women - especially a queen of such a large kingdom like England. It was believed that without a man by her side, a woman would not be able to function, much less run a country. Women could not govern themselves, how could they rule without a man? In 1563, "she told an imperial envoy, that 'if I am to disclose to you what I should prefer if I follow the inclinations of my nature, it is this: beggar woman and single, for rather than queen and married'" (Haigh, pg. 13)."

Abstract
With a career spanning over 20 years, and a string of hits that remain sporting event anthems, Queen still remains one of the most beloved rock bands of all-time, even after the tragic death of Freddie Mercury over ten years ago. This essay discusses everything a person could want to know about this legendary group. Within the essay you'll find the humble origins of the four band members in Britain, their struggle to get noticed by the public, their eventual rise to super-stardom, and the eventual tragic death of Freddie Mercury at the hands of the AIDS virus. It also includes a bit of post-Queen information on the surviving members of the band and what they have been up to in the years since.
From the Paper
"Throughout rock and roll history, Britain has produced some of the most important and revolutionary acts. There's been the controversial bad boy genius of the Rolling Stones, the front-running of "glam rock" by David Bowie, and of course the unparalleled skill and style of the Beatles. These artists, along with many others who have come out of Britain, have made important political and social statements with their music that captured the hearts and minds of their generations and beyond. However, one of Britain's most legendary acts often didn't have very much to say at all in terms of politics, or trying to revolutionize the music industry. Instead, this group focused on becoming what is arguably one of the best disposable pop groups ever, and one of the greatest bands at performing true "stadium rock." This group was Queen, and they were embraced as one of England's most cherished bands (probably second only to the Beatles), while even finding moderate success in America as well."

It surmises that the disaster plan is very effective and covers nearly all issues helping to save more lives and property.
From the Paper
"The Disaster Plan although very useful and helpful can be further improved upon by giving more importance and consideration to a few issues. 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."

Margaret Tudor: The Perils of a Queen, 2001.
A look at the tumultuous life and times of a fascinating woman, Margaret Tudor, Queen Regent of Scotland.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
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. "

Analyzes the film "The Queen", directed by Stephen Frears.

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Edmund Spenser's "Faerie Queen", 2005.
This paper discusses that, in Edmund Spenser's in Stanza 46 of Canto IX, Book One, of "Faerie Queen", the belief in fairies and other pagan elements co-exist with the Christian belief in God.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although rooted firmly in the Christian religion, E. Spenser's "Faerie Queen" nevertheless contains frequent positive references, both explicit and implicit, to the pagan Goddess religions, which Christianity worked so hard to replace in the British Isles. The author points out that this assertion is supported not only by the actual imagery, metaphor and other poetic devices but also by Spenser's brilliant conception of time as something nonlinear, a dimension in which past and present mingle to create an imagined reality. The paper illustrates that the first two lines of stanza 46 incorporate a combination of pagan and Christian references: The word "goodly" was closely related to the word "godly"; the reader must think that this is a reference to a tree in the Garden of Eden, which is supported by the next line, which describes the fruit upon this tree as "apples, rosie red".
From the Paper
"First, however, it is necessary to give a very brief synopsis of the events that have transpired to this point. Redcrosse Knight has come through a series of terrible ordeals on his quest to free Una's parents from the prison of the evil dragon. (Una is the woman he loves.) Along the way, both she and he have come to death's door many times. What is striking about each of their rescues, however, is that although for the most part the savior comes in godly form (as in the Lion who protected Una until he himself was killed in for his efforts), the presence of Una -- who, at one point, is taken for a goddess by a group of "nature dwellers" (i.e. pagans) as she makes her way back to the Redcrosse Knight -- is a repeating theme of the old pagan religions. Put simply, Una is a goddess-figure who weaves through the text alongside other Christian themes (as well as other, more ambiguous, themes such as the "three sisters" who heal the Redcrosse Knight through resentence so he can continue on his quest to kill the dragon and free Una's parents)."
