Essay on London 1908 - The Court of Honor

The public spheres of British Victorian society was a markedly masculine jurisdiction, obviously lacking in a feminine presence. Traditionally the public spheres of the society were considered a man’s domain and women were sequestered into the home, women of the public were thus considered of ill repute. The modern stay at home woman was considered an extension of her husband’s wealth, and her being in the home that of how well off the man had become. The rise of the department stores lead to an increase of women into what was considered a masculine space and as transportation means became more readily available to them the roles of women within the public sphere also changed. These marked changes and shifts in gender role can be seen with the admit protest against their presence London’s West End, and the portrayal od exulted “angels” gracing the shops with their presence creating a “chaste” space. These and many other examples in Erika Diane Rappaport’s Shopping for Pleasure: Women in the Making of London’s West End illustrate how women entering the public sphere altered their gender roles with Victorian English Society.

2. "Too many features of the fair remained unfinished, Burnham acknowledged. He and his brigade of architects, draftsmen, engineers, and contractors had accomplished so much in an impossibly short time, but apparently not enough to overcome the damping effect of the fast-degrading economy." (Page 240). The fair had a set opening day but somehow everything was still not completely finished. It was a huge feat and even what they did accomplish was amazing, but it doesn’t make sense to open to an unfinished fair. The poor economy certainly doesn't help matters, but people wouldn’t necessarily want to spend money at a

The fair was a marvel of construction, planning and architecture for the day. Never had anything on that scale, in the time frame that was given, been attempted. In around 2 years, the builders terraformed a piece of blasted wasteland into the finished product. They built massive buildings on ground that was basically quicksand before they started. Olmstead landscaped the whole site, with construction going on, in a period of months. The construction effort suffered many setbacks and disasters, with the wind and rain destroying many buildings as they were being built. They built the fair in these trying conditions, with labor problems, it was a miracle.

The fair had several palaces and buildings home to things unlike anything you have ever seen. These palaces have incredible detail put into them to showcase what each palace meant.

The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III after the gain of French territory resulting from the French and Indian war. The proclamation prohibited the settlement of the land beyond the appalachian mountains in order to maintain peace with Indians and to prevent further casualties. Although the proclamation was made with the intention of protection the colonists, the colonists viewed it as oppression. It angered the colonists who wished to expand into new farmlands, as they believed that they, “...purchased the land with their blood in the most recent war” (The American Pageant, 113). Feeling defiant, the colonists decided to resist the proclamation and still expanded west.

The imagery Larson is using elicits a chaotic image. Reason behind the chaotic image that Larson uses is to show how busy and important the fair was to the people. The fact that the men and women dressed in their finest attire proves that this was a paramount event. Larson also uses more descriptive imagery when he describes what the outfits looked like. This goes to show how seriously people from the 1900s took event. The effect the imagery has on the reader is that they realize how significant this was to the people to have an event in Chicago.

The fair showed respect to the progress of the American culture. The fair was divided into two sections.

The Capitol had importance in colonial times and it still has significance today. Court took result in the capitol. It gives us an example of court in Colonial Williamsburg. Court happened in the first floor of the west building and was active when there was a crime, like today. The punishment was rather different from today. Sometimes they would brand criminals, or tar and feather you, or if criminals did a felon the court would hang them, but they would not jail you. They thought that jailing was cruel and unusual punishment. First, if criminals committed a misdemeanor the court would brand them. Branding is when a metal bar with jagged edges is heated up and is placed on the criminal’s hand. It would stay there for a long time, to shame

Henri de Malestroit, and other knights and squires were upper class citizens that committed treason against the King of France and then experienced punishments that were usually given out to people of lower class, due to the gravity of their crimes. This court record could be used for historians to see why kings and justices ordered certain punishments for

It turns magnificent apricot and cotton candy pink. The colors illuminate across the water And pour onto the sand. It has never been so beautiful. Stars emerge From behind all the clouds now shying away,

Similar in theme to Wordsworth’s “London, 1802” is Percy Shelley’s poem “England in 1819”. Looking at Shelley’s poem in terms of historical context and nostalgia allows the political sonnet to be read as a piece of restorative nostalgia for the targeted reading audience of this works time period. This sonnet is written in iambic pentameter however the rhyme scheme of this sonnet differs from the scheme of a traditional English sonnet. The rhyme scheme within this poem follows ABABAB,CDCD,CCDD. Connecting this structure to the concept of nostalgia allows for the “a-b” section to be viewed as “reflective nostalgia”. The “a-b” section strays from the form of a traditional sonnet and repeats itself, this repetition mimics the act of “longing” as the section goes back to the same rhyme scheme. Looking at the first six lines, the speaker emphatically describes the horrors and hardships of England’s government and the life of the proletariat. The act of dwelling on the current state of England demonstrates reflective nostalgia and forces the reader to reflect on the state of England before these changes took place. For the intended reading audience of this poem this work would call attention to the changes of society and manipulate time forcing the reading to imagine the past of England and look forward in fear to the future as “reflective nostalgia does not follow a single plot but explores ways of inhabiting many places at once and imagining different time zones” (Boym 4). As the first six lines repeat themselves in rhyme scheme outside of the traditional sonnet structure, this connects to the idea of reflective nostalgia in mimicking reflective nostalgia fear of “returning to current states” (Boym 4). This section, evoking reflective nostalgia in the poems intended reading audience acts as a radical political stance against the King, Capitalism and state of the Church. In dwelling on the changes and corruption in society, this section uses reflective nostalgia to “cherise shattered fragments of memory and demoralizes space” (Boym 5). The fragments of “cherished memory” is England before the ongoing wars stemmed from the revolutions, the “demoralized space” comes from the manipulation of time that nostalgia causes
