Abstract
This paper explains that Queen Victoria became Queen of England at the time when the monarchy was weak and unpopular; but, under her leadership, England underwent massive transformation culturally, socially, and politically. The author states that her death in 1910 marked the end of a very successful, challenging, and dynamic period in the history of England. The paper stresses that Queen Victoria?s reign became synonymous with revolution and change because she defied traditions and conventions to infuse a new spirit in the empire and the monarchy.
From the Paper
"The country Queen Victoria lovingly called jewel in her crown had turned into a battlefield where Indian mutineers were being killed everyday and British forces had resorted to harsher tactics to control the situation. The Queen on the other hand wanted peace in the Indian region and wanted Lord Cannings, the then Viceroy of India to listen to the grievances of Indian mutineers. She rejected the idea of harsher punishment for captured rebels for Queen Victoria believed this could lead to endless bloodshed and even greater resentment. It was a very tough time for British Crown as a little mistake on the part of the monarch could lead to numerous problems."

From the Paper
"Only two British monarchs have made such an impression that their given names have become synonymous with their eras. Both, it happens, were women: Elizabeth I and Victoria. Several British kings do have historical periods associated with their names .. "Jacobian" for James I and "Edwardian" for Edward VII .. but neither approaches the everyday familiarity and resonance of "Elizabethan" and "Victorian," their ability to evoke an era with a word. No doubt two factors that they had in common were the sheer length of their reigns, and the association of those reigns with distinctly marked historical periods. But the individual qualities of these two women also played a part in making them personifications of their eras.
In some ways, Victoria's achievement in becoming the..."

Abstract
This paper examines these poems and shows how they represent the different themes that Tennyson wrote about during his lifetime, and yet they all contain similarities. They are all well written works, that convey thoughts and themes that were very important to Tennyson, like how critical people can be of your work, and Queen Victoria and her reign. He often uses references to the natural world in his poems, and these are no exception. The paper examines how Tennyson also uses many references to love and women.
From the Paper
"Tennyson often writes of women in his poems, and one of the greatest themes he uses surrounding women is their capacity for love, and motherhood. He felt one of the greatest things in the world was love, and this comes through clearly when he writes about women. ??but when he wrote of Victoria, in whom ?a thousand claims to reverence closed... as mother, wife and queen,? or of his own mother as he did in ?Isabel,? he wrote with a power not evinced in the descriptive analyses of the women of his imagination. The women of his brain are pretty girls. The noblest women whom he knew were strong in character and life and love? (Gordon 73)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Jerrold Packard's "Victoria's Daughters", examines the lives of the five daughters of Victoria, Queen of England: Vicky, Alice, Louise, Lenchen, and Beatrice. It examines how the book tells about each daughter and their families and concludes that it is a good book to read for learning more about the royal family in the 1800s, and the tragedies that can befall anyone, even the royal family.
From the Paper
"Packard focused on how even a royal family cannot escape tragedy. Tragedy will strike even the Queen of England, the most powerful woman in the world in the late 1800's. Her husband was taken from her on December 14, 1861, and then her third child, and second daughter was taken from her on December 14, 1878. Once Prince Albert died, Queen Victoria lived the rest of her life in a state of mourning, and allowed her days to be consumed with self-pity. Her sometimes aloof ways in raising her children would lead to her eldest daughter raising her children in the same aloof manner. This action would lead to Vicky's eldest son, Willy, to become quite harsh with his parents. "

Abstract
In this paper the author thoroughly examines the profile and properties of the lingerie company Victoria Secrets. The author starts with a summary of the beginnings of Victoria Secrets. He tells us that its founder Roy Raymond could not find a present for his wife and saw an opening in the market. The author proceeds to expand on how the company grew and constantly changed its perspectives on the market, based on the acceptable fashions of each time period. The paper also looks at the marketing ploys of the company, from advertising through to store design, which has made it the most successful lingerie business there is today. Finally the author confirms Victoria Secrets success by stating it has given the customer a lifestyle which incorporates the product.
From the Paper
"With the transformation of the business, its goals also changed. Working on the thought that while bought and wore underwear, they aspired to buy and wear lingerie, the first move was do away with Raymond's goal of having the stores' as some sort of shopping haven for male shoppers. Wexner, along with Senior Vice President, Dan Finkleman realized that while men gave lingerie as gifts, it was women who bought 90% of their own intimate apparel and therefore the company made female customers the sole focus of all its efforts. The main goal of the company in this respect was and is image. Dan McGinn aptly summarizes this and other goals in his case study of the company. He says, "It started with the name Victoria, which conjures up 19th-century England. To further emphasize the veneer of European luxury, catalogs listed the company's headquarters in London, even though it was really in Ohio. And the products themselves stood apart from traditional department store offerings." Another one of the company's major goals was to avoid mistakes made by other lingerie producers, particularly stories such as Frederick's of Hollywood."

From the Paper
"The mission statement takes on step further and communicates the audience the core competencies and the features on which the organization will base its actions in order to retrieve success. Furthermore, it also points out the main focuses of the organization in reaching their goals. For instance, a basic mission statement for a for-profit organization would be to offer their clients the best products and services and integrate the employees into the corporate culture, while in the same time registering profits. The mission statement is an important tool for communicating corporate objectives and commitment and it is addressed to all stakeholders, such as employees, clients, or patients in the case of Victoria Hospital, business partners or the general audience. The mission statement has to be developed by keeping in mind the corporate values and goals. For the Victoria Hospital, these are: dedicated personnel, the usage of advanced technologies and commitment to preserving and improving patient's health. However due to financial cuts, the management at Victoria Hospital desires to increase their profits, this will not be stated in the mission."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of Edmund Spenser, who was viewed as a love and pastoral poet and also a classical author. It looks at how Spenser?s life ran almost identically to the Elizabethan Age, from his birth in a poor family in London to his religious and political views to his eventual move to Ireland, where he wrote his most famous piece, "The Faerie Queen". It discusses how "The Faerie Queen" contains six books and a fragment of a seventh and how, with each book, a virtue is introduced. A story then unfolds to explain how the hero of that particular book obtains the virtue as his ultimate prize. The focus of the paper is on Book One and the virtue of holiness, which was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I. It shows how his use and skill with ancient language coupled with his creation, the Spenserian stanza, presents the reader with a delightful look at medieval England.
From the Paper
"When she finishes the story she starts to faint. The knight comforts her and vows to rescue her hero. They all leave together with the wise dwarf leading the way. Even though Una has been abandoned, misjudged, and betrayed by the man she loves she remains steadfast. She still loves him and wants to free him from his bondage by the giant. On a moral level here she still represents purity and truth. She has never wavered from either although her errant lover certainly has. On the religious level she represents the true church. She is forgiving and welcomes home the worst of sinners. On the historical level she is the Protestant Church."

Abstract
This paper explains that the film "The Queen" is an intimate and often shocking portrayal of the Royal Family as it faces the great crisis of the death of Princess Diana. The author believes that film is very much like a Shakespearean play, especially "Hamlet". The paper relates that the entire focus of this film is the conflict between what Diana represented and what the monarchy actually is. The author concludes that, even though the Queen is depicted in the most human and ordinary way, the final emphasis is on her determination and personal power to meet the almost impossible challenge of modernizing the monarchy.
From the Paper
"The second part of the film takes place two months after the funeral of Diana. Referring to the monarchy, the Queen asks Blair if he believes the affection that people feel for this institution will be diminished because of Diana's death and the Royal Family's behavior during that time. Blair replies that he does not feel that people's attitudes will be negative. It is clear during this private conservation with Blair that the Queen intends to be in control. She wants information but not in the form of advice."

Abstract
Queen Elizabeth came to the British throne in 1558. Throughout her life, she was asked to marry so that England would have a male heir, but she refused to meet the demands of Parliament by staying the "Virgin Queen" until her death. This paper traces the life of Elizabeth I from her birth in 1533 as the first child of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. It explores reasons why Elizabeth did not fulfill the wishes of her people by marrying, creating instead a powerful image of female authority and national pride.
From the Paper
"Elizabeth?s unmarried state was unheard of with any ruler of that era, especially for a queen. The duty of any monarch was to provide heirs to the throne. The ruling dynasty must be preserved so that the country would be at peace and prosper. Marriage was necessary at any level for women ? especially a queen of such a large kingdom like England. It was believed that without a man by her side, a woman would not be able to function, much less run a country. Women could not govern themselves, how could they rule without a man? In 1563, ?she told an imperial envoy, that ?if I am to disclose to you what I should prefer if I follow the inclinations of my nature, it is this: beggar woman and single, for rather than queen and married?? (Haigh, pg. 13)."
