Throughout “The Queen of Prussia’s Tomb,” Hemans continuously alludes to life and death in order to ultimately capture the irresolvable tension that exists between the Queen’s own lifeless body and her lively spirit. Written in ballad form, “The Queen of Prussia’s Tomb” tells the story of Queen Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, a former Queen whose body now lies in a tomb in Berlin but whose spirit remains very much alive.

What makes a hero or a villain? A hero is defined as a person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.

Why did a Socialist or Labor Party never gain traction in the United States? According to Marxist revolutionary theory, advanced capitalism is a necessary precondition to the development of socialism. Capitalists would ruthlessly exploit workers, accumulating capital from the workers’ labor but not sharing it. This would result in the workers developing a collective class consciousness, overthrowing their oppressors, and replacing their bourgeois government with a dictatorship of the proletariat

The Attempts to Present English Art “Britain had one century of painting.” Elie Faure’s statement summarizes best what critics, art researchers and collectors haven’t had the space, the heart or the inspiration to say in their restless attempts to present English Art. WHY? To answer this question we must take into account more than history and documents, we must evaluate the essence, the soul of the creator, of the English man. Andrew Crawley describes in his book (“England”), the English
