Romanticism and American Romanticism -- Nathaniel Hawthorne as an
American Romantic
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses romanticism in
literature that is best personified in the works of English and
some other European writers and poets of the period roughly
encompassing 1775 to 1837. Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Malthus,
and Austen are examples of the English tradition of Romanticism
that immediately come to mind while one is likely to think of
Coleridge, Hawthorne, and (to some degree) Thoreau and Emerson,
when thinking of the American tradition of romanticism. There
are certainly similarities, if for no other reason than the time
frame in which the writing took place, between the traditions.
But as with most aspects of a literary style, the nation in which
it is conceived (logically) changes the context in which it is
presented. Nathaniel Hawthorne is used as an example of
American romanticism. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Ronald Dworkin, Interpretation, and “Bleak House”
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page
report discusses the contemporary legal philosopher, scholar, and
writer, Ronald Dworkin and his thoughts regarding interpretation
and uses Charles Dickens’ 1853 novel “Bleak House” as a means of
comparison for the modern legal system. “Bleak House” presents
the picture of a world in which the judicial system and its
apparently never-ending lawsuits suck the life and energy out of
the people involved in them. In Ronald Dworkin’s opinion, each
and every legal interpretation applied in the judicial system
demonstrates a rudimentary theory that makes a statement about
the general character of modern law. Dworkin believes that there
is a “best reading” of a text and that reading can lead to a more
efficacious route toward justice. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Roy Jenkins' "The Chancellors: A History Of The Leaders Of The British Exchequer, 1886-1947"
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Roy Jenkins' purpose for penning The Chancellors: A History of the Leaders of the British Exchequer, 1886-1947 was not so much to chronicle the political contributions of each of the nineteen men who held office during this particular period; rather, the author chose a more personal approach as a means by which to portray the psychological and political components of each
protagonist. Unlike similar accounts on the subject, Jenkins employs a significant sense of humor, not-so-subtle irony and rather unflattering perspective of what he calls a disparate lot of British Chancellors who had no more in common with one another than somewhat more than average ability and substantially more than average ambition.
Indeed, The Chancellors' essays do not represent the typical and stuffy account of history's British moneymen. No additional sources cited.
