Shropshire: A Place of Imagined Sexual Contentment Published in 1869, A.E. Housman’s A Shropshire Lad stands as one of the most socially acclaimed collections of English poetry from the Victorian age. This period in British history, however, proves, by judiciary focus (the Criminal Law Amendment of 1885), to be conflictive with Housman’s own internal conflicts concerning the homoerotic tendencies which he discovered in his admiration of fellow Oxford student Moses Jackson. Housman, much unlike other
A. E. Housman was a well known poet of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Within his two most famous publications, A Shropshire Lad and Last Poems, Housman effectively uses his adept understanding of language, its usage, and style to portray the significant themes behind all of his poems. To an Athlete Dying Young is a perfect example of Housman’s ability to convey his message to the reader through his use of diction, syntax, and tone. Writers make specific choices in the type of words, sentence

The Reveal of Character through False Projection’s in “A Masque Presented At Ludlow Castle, 1634 (Comus)” by John Milton Archetypes demonstrate both a constraint for difference beyond objectification as well as a characterized meaning that is devoid of anything beyond surface level appearance; From Milton’s standpoint, characterizations are purely derived from physical depictions and what is said and seen about archetypical character of ingiune-esque “the Lady.” The Lady, without a true name or

I was a news reporter and my job was to report the Ludlow Massacre by asking Ludlow survivors. April 20, 4 hours earlier, it was a beautiful
It is through this lense that the Ludlow Massacre begins to make sense. Miners, during Colorado's booming early years enjoyed a high level of autonomy but little safety. Early disputes between labourers and owners were about mine safety almost as if the industry was collectively attempting to figure out the “balance the need to earn wages with the will to stay alive.” Between the industries beginning around 1870 and the first strike of 1884, there were no strikes in this 14 year period, in contrast
Rockefeller Coal Company came to a climax when the make shift town, called White City was attacked by militia. The Ludlow massacre was a build up of many different issues between the owners of the mines and the miners. Labor problems such as paternalism, lack of enforcement on current labor laws, and the slow recovery from the depression of 1890 all contributed to the actions of the Ludlow massacre in Colorado and the violence that was used after.

The CF&I stated that the event was an act of its workers to demilitarize the company and to prevent importation of “strikebreakers”. However, Thomas Andrews’ Killing for Coal: America’s Deadliest Labor War introduces the concept

Through two pieces of writing, “The Ludlow Massacre Still Matters” by Ben Mauk in The New Yorker and the other an excerpt from historian Howard Zinn’s popular A People’s History of the United States.
