A number of them died on the battlefield, most famously Edward Thomas,Isaac Rosenberg, Wilfred Owen, and Charles Sorley. Others including Robert Graves,[4] Ivor Gurney and Siegfried Sassoon survived but were scarred by their experiences, and this was reflected in their poetry. Robert H. Ross[5] characterised the English "war poets" as a subgroup of the Georgian Poetry writers. Many poems by British war poets were published in newspapers and then collected into anthologies. Several of these early anthologies were published during the war and were very popular, though the tone of the poetry changed as the war progressed. One of the wartime anthologies was The Muse in Arms, published in 1917. Several anthologies were also published in the years after the war had ended. In November 1985, a slate memorial...

... determined that the only logical course of action by which they could throw off the strong hold of tyranny was to declare the independence and sovereignty of the individual colonies, and join together in a partnership, for their common defense, the security of their Liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever. In so doing, these fifty-six men, on the authority of the good people of the colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence, mutually pledging to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The youngest of those men was a man named Edward Rutledge from South Carolina. Edward Rutledge Edward Rutledge was born in 1749 at or near Charleston, S.C., he was the 5th and youngest, son of Doctor John Rutledge, who emigrated from Ireland to South Carolina, about the year 1735.

...the Western Roman Empire. He delivered the regular eulogies to the emperor and was the closest thing to a minister of propaganda for the imperial court. Thus, St. Augustine was one of the first people in charge of public relations. The modern equivalent would be the President’s press secretary or communication director. In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote “The Crisis,” a pamphlet which convinced the soldiers of Washington’s army to stay and fight at a time when so many were prepared to desert so they could escape the cold and the hardships of a winter campaign. Paine was a master of political propaganda whose writing could get people to do things and believe things. Benjamin Franklin made it a rule to forbear all contradiction to others, and all positive assertions of his own. He would say, "I conceive” or "'I apprehend" or "I imagine” a thing to be so, or it appears to be so. Franklin pioneered the rules for "personal relations" in an era before mass media had made possible a profession called "public relations." 1 In the middle of the 19th century appeared a man who was to become one of the leading publicists of all time, P.

...mathematical logic. The mathematical practices of Newman revolutionized world history in ways that produced many accomplished understudies after his death. “The work to which Newman contributed, though distinct from that on Enigma, has been described as being of comparable importance” (Groups, 2015). This paper will discuss the early stages of Max Newman’s life, his contributions to mathematics, and accomplishments of his life. Early Stages of Life Max Newman was born Maxwell Herman Alexander Neumann February 7, 1987. Max was born in the city of Chelsea, London, United Kingdom. In 1916, Max changed his last name from Neumann to Newman for a contemporary fit. Max’s father was Herman Alexander Neumann, and his mother was Sarah Ann-Pike. His father was a secretary originally born Jewish from Germany, who immigrated to the United Kingdom. His mother was a British schoolteacher. In 1914, Max's father was reverted to Germany because of his German descent and WWI. In 1934, Newman married wife Lyn Lloyd Irvine. Lyn was a writer in which her and Max had two kids. Their kids were named Edward and William. During the time of WWII, Max’s German background caused his wife and two kids to flee to America. Lyn and the two boys remained there for three years.

...when Alexander was 10 and James Jr. was 12. Alexander loved reading, especially poetry, as a child. His mother taught him French, which helped George Washington later in the Revolutionary War. In addition to his father’s leaving, more tragedy came his family's way when Alexander and Rachel were struck by the yellow fever, killing Rachel. Alexander and James Jr. then went to live with their cousin, Peter Lytton, who later committed suicide due to his many failed business attempts. Peter's father and James and Alexander's uncle, James Lytton, attempted to adopt the two boys, but the suicide complicated things, and he died less than a month later. Alexander then went to live with Thomas Stevens, a well-respected merchant. Stevens’s son, Edward, and Alexander were very close friends, most likely the reason Thomas let Alexander come and live with them. It was at this point he had to get a job, beginning his education. He started his education as a teenager, working for an import/export business, which gave him an expansive knowledge of commerce. Traders and smugglers sparked his belief that a stable currency would work better for merchants. Slave traffic commanded a large part of the business. He had to take inventory of all stock, which included slaves to be sold to traders. Hamilton self-taught himself about most things, though. He always knew he was born to be great. He wrote poetry and sent it to the Royal Danish American Gazette, which was the newspaper of the island. Henry Knox...

...Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary has gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.[1] Austen lived her entire life as part of a close-knit family located on the lower fringes of the English landed gentry.[2] She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to her development as a professional writer.[3] Her artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years into her thirties. During this period, she experimented with various literary forms, including the epistolary novel which she tried then abandoned, and wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth.[B] From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, which was eventually titled Sanditon, but died before completing it. Austen's works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century realism.[4][C] Her plots, though fundamentally comic,[5] highlight the...

...In the early centuries, a group of selected chaplains had always formed a part of the royal household. However, these chaplains generally served as advisers and their roles were primarily political than musical. Nevertheless, these priests also assisted at the ceremonial occasions by some three or four clerici who possessed good singing voices and were drafted into the chapel for such occasions. As time went on, the occasional recruitment of these musical clerics ceased to satisfy the needs of the sovereign and a more permanent, concrete set of musical retainers were selected; a self-contained department of the household called the capella regis, which included chaplains, clerks and choristers. Beginning during the reigns of Edward I and Edward II (1272-1327), a specialized body of liturgical musicians called the “Chapel Royal” began to take shape. The Chapel Royal were a special group of musically inclined personnel maintained by sovereigns of England within the royal household, to perform divine service in the monarch’s presence. The Chapel Royal were in constant attendance to the sovereign and travelled with the royal household and discharged its duties in the chapel of whatever place the king then happened to reside. From these modest beginnings, the chapel eventually developed into one of the foremost secular liturgical choirs in Europe with kings maintaining 40-50 voices in the choir to project the king’s image and conspicuous display of his wealth, resources and...

...(372-text-Defoe). Towards the end of the 1600s women could not do much except sew. Women could barely hold a conversation due to their lack of education in that subject matter. He later states that, “ A woman well-bred and well taught, furnished with additional accomplishments of knowledge is a creature without comparison.” (373-text Defoe). With this quote he indirectly states that society in 1600 were scared of women, so society decided to limited the education of women so they could not possibly succeed in world without help from others. Defoe then comes up with a solution for the education of what women should have. He believed that women should be educated to speak different languages, and should be able to hold a conversation when at a dinner party with her husband’s friends and co-workers. Defoe even thought of a school so the women can learn efficiently and effectively. He wanted the school to be on an island with a moat around it so the women cannot come out the school. It is clear that times have changed to what many people believed what women should or should not learn, however; the thought of this education in today’s society would not go over well, women today now have a bigger voice than they did in the 1600s. Thomas Hardy was a very famous author throughout the years of 1874 -1895 his novel called Mayor of Casterbridge also had the role of women presented in there. Hardy states, “Everybody was attracted , and some said that her bygone simplicity was the art that conceals...
