Wuthering Heights, Angela’s Ashes, and A Small Place. In the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte anger is central to the plot line. Even in the title there is anger, the term Wuthering describes the fierce wind that blows during storms on the moors, in my belief the fierce wind and storms is a metaphor for the strength of the anger that is expressed by many of the characters throughout this book. In the first few chapters of the book you get a strange feeling about Wuthering Heights, its dark…

Throughout the 20th Century the British Empire faced many challenges, not least of which was its involvement in both…

Colley argues that the British identity was forged based on four principles; Britain was a primarily Protestant nation pitted against a largely Catholic Europe, it is an island nation with a peerless naval strength rather than a powerful army, the metropolitan center of the whole empire was within the boundaries of the United Kingdom and the British Empire served as a direct rival…

peoples of the globe who found themselves subjects of one empire or another? A few decades ago, the answer would have been a resounding no. Now, in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the more or less widespread discrediting of Marxist and Leninist analysis, and the end of the Cold War, political scientists and historians seem willing to take a more positive look at Nineteenth Century Imperialism. One noted current historian, Niall Ferguson has argued that the British Empire probably accomplished more…
