The most important factor in Britains Population
explosion in the 19 th century was better medical
care To what extent do you agree with the
statement above? There are many reasons why the
population increased in the 19 th century such as
better medical care / medicine and better public
health. However I believe that better medical care
/ medicine was partly the reason why Britains
population exploded but I believe the main reason

19 Th Century England Jane Austen
457 words
19 th century England was a time full of incest,
out of control breeding, and differences between
social classes. Jane Austen's Mansfield Park was
published in the early 19 th century and focuses
on these problems, as well as others. Characters
in Mansfield Park struggle with incest, out of
control breeding, and the social class system. She
was preparing for her ninth lying-in, and after
bewailing the circumstance, and imploring their
countenance as sponsors to the expected child, she
could not ...

19 Th Century Van Helsing
785 words
Bram Stoker had absolutely no idea just what sort
of monster he was creating. I refer not to his
title character, but to the book itself. It is
highbrow enough that scholars and literary types
feel the need to include it (if, perhaps, toward
the bottom) on their lists of exemplary 19
th-century popular literature, yet lowbrow enough
to interest the common reader. This is not a
slight to the "common reader"; I'm one, too, and I
tire of dense, obnoxiously self-important prose.
Stoker's goal was no...

everybody's concept of love is different. However,
in order to achieve a good relationship, people
must have a well balanced power structure in their
relationship, and good understanding and
communication between them. In the stories, 'The

19 Th Century Historical Debate German
752 words
The Historical Debate The view of Bismarck over
the years has changed and it is the historical
debate surrounding our perception of him and his
intentions that often shapes our interpretation of
the German unification. No 19 th century figure
has attracted the attention and controversy that
surround the achievement of Otto von Bismarck,
with the exception perhaps of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The success of Bismarck's work in unifying Germany
has shifted from a determinist to a dialectic
approach. Earl...

The Railroad The significance of the railroad for
the settlement of the Great Plains and for the
industrialization of America can hardly be
overestimated. In 19 th century people used to
compare railroad tracks to the blood vessels in
mans body, so vital these iron tracks were for the
normal functioning of American nation. The first
railroad in America was opened in 1826; it united
Boston and the town of Quincy. It is very
symptomatic that its opening was described as

19 Th Century Heart Of Darkness

Heart of Darkness In Joseph Conrad's novelette
Heart of Darkness, Marlow's view of women embodies
the typical 19 th century view of women as the
inferior sex. There are only three relatively
minor female characters in Heart of Darkness:
Marlow's aunt, Kurtz's mistress, and Kurtz's
Intended. Marlow mentions these female characters
in order to give the literal aspect of his tale
more substance. While they definitely play
specific roles in the story, they do not relate
with the primary theme of the...

CHAPTE In the opening paragraph, Huck introduces
himself to us as the narrator of the story. He
talks to us in a relaxed, matter-of-fact tone that
makes him sound friendly, honest, and maybe a
little less respectful than he should be. He does,
after all, come close to calling Mark Twain a
liar. Try to imagine Twain writing that paragraph,
in which he has a fictional character accuse him
of stretching the truth in an earlier book. Twain
seems to be sharing a joke with you, the reader,
but Huck is...

Male Female Relationship 19 Th Century
958 words
In the cases of Jane Austen's novel Pride and
Prejudice and Emily Brontes Jane Eyre, the ideals
of romantic love are very much the same. In both
19 th century novels, womens wants and needs are
rather simplified. However, this could also be
said for the roles and ideals of the male
characters. While it was obvious that this era was
responsible for a large amount of anti-female
sexism in society and the economy, can it also be
said that male-female partnerships were simplified
from the male persp...

Western Culture The use of tobacco dates back to
the 17 th century. The primary reason for its
beginning was purely economic at first. It later
became apparent to researchers over the decades
that tobacco was more than just a commodity to be
traded for economic gain. It was actually a drug,
nicotine, which developed into physical dependency
and had adverse side effects as people began to
live longer. Further research at the social level,
