Ayşenur Aydın Res. Asst. Ali Belenli IED 272 English Prose and Poetry 07.05.2015 Arthurian Romances Since his first appearence in fifth and early sixth century A.D., King Arthur inspired many authors, many literary works. Yet, there are many doubts that he really lived.

Arthur Phillip was born on the 11th of October 1738 and he was a Royal Navy officer, the first Governor of New South Wales and led the colonisation of what is now called Australia. He then founded the British penal colony that later became the city of Sydney. The arrival of the Second and Third Fleets placed new pressures on the scarce local resources, but by the time Arthur sailed home in December 1792, the colony was taking shape, with official land-grants and efficient farming and water-supply. Phillip retired in 1805, but he continued to correspond with his friends in New South

With the Industrial Revolution and the increase of power from colonization, England in the nineteenth century began shifting its country towards an urban and progressive lifestyle compared to the rural, simplistic life that has dominated most of nation for hundreds of years. Along with a shift in urban lifestyles, the support towards religion and the church began to weaken. Undoubtedly, religion impacts English society and its norms with the fact that Christianity has been implanted in the country since Roman Britain. It’s fact that Christianity influences the cultural norms expected upon society, especially with women, with its strict doctrines and practices. Therefore, with the Anglican Church in the nineteenth century, women’s restricted cultural expectations and fashion in England was the result of an oppressive religion.

The Magna Carta was created in 1215. It was an unsuccessful attempt to bring peace back early to England civilization. King John ruled during this time period. The first baron war forced him to create the Magna Carter. It eventually became known as the Great Charters of liberties.

During Sir Thomas Malory’s time nobility was in charge, and there were very obvious classes. How nobility really were and how they are portrayed is full differences and few similarities. This research paper is going to focus on the famous story, Morte d’ Arthur. It’s important to keep in mind that Malory became a knight in 1442 and served in Parliament in 1445. He then became involved in crime and allied himself politically with people and groups who opposed the royal government.

Thomas Mallory’s Works have been passed down generation by generation. Many authors have tried to replicate his works but none have amounted to be successful. They have only condensed the narratives, by cutting and simplifying according to the age of his audience, but always following him with more or less exactitude. One of the stories is the story of Launcelot and King Arthur.

The Black Death (1347-1352) was the Medieval black plague that ravaged Europe and killed a third of its population. It was due to the plague which is caused by a bacterium (Yersinia pestis) transmitted to humans from infected rats by the oriental rat flea (MedicineNet, 2018). There are three main forms of plague in humans: bubonic plague (the commonest form of plague in humans, characterized by fever, delirium, and the formation of buboes), septicemic plague (an especially dangerous form of plague in which the infecting organisms invade the bloodstream), and pneumonic plague (a severe lung infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis). There are a few factors in explaining plague in the Middle Ages: religion, medieval medicine, and modern science, and I will be discussing religion in the Middle Ages as well as

Outline 2 In medieval Europe the dominant religion was roman catholicism, and many believed fervently in the teachings of the church. Therefore in many ways the church greatly shaped the lives of average europeans. Although religion is not practiced in europe today the same way it was practiced in the middle ages it is still important to analyze it, because it has had a great impact on Europe's development. Some of the characteristics of medieval religion are a belief in a devil that manifests itself in the world, a belief that relics imparted miracles to those around them, and a belief that saints would help those that love them.

During the Victorian Era, ranging from 1837 to 1901, there was a resurgence of medieval themes and characters in popular media as England sought a foundation on which to build its empire. Just as the medieval time featured a shift from paganism to Christianity (epitomized by the tale of King Arthur; he, a Christ figure, vanquishes the pagan, Morgan Le Fay), the Victorian Era saw a literary shift from Romanticism to Gothicism. Where once nature and the heart ruled, the media of the time skewed toward sullen settings and morbid characters. A fascination with the pain and death of women evolved, society using tales of female suffering to heighten the perception of their frailty and establish patriarchal dominance. Masculinity and femininity were

King Arthur Arthur was the first born son of King Uther Pendragon and heir to the throne (" King Arthur - The Legend"). The legend of King Arthur had been very popular in Wales before the 11th century. King Arthur is a mythological figure who at the time was the head of the kingdom Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. These tales are mostly about a hero who has done something incredible to save the day. There is much reason why legends could still be popular today.

Through the Dark Ages, then through the Middle Ages, art, science, and religion had changed from Classical culture; art existed mainly for function, science was ultimately nonexistent, and religion had taken over the lives of the people. When the Middle Ages were ending, the church was losing power due to the Crusades, art began to be reborn, and science became relevant once more. These changes were brought about by three movements; the Protestant Reformation changed religion, the Renaissance changed art, and the Scientific Revolution changed science. The Protestant Reformation was a movement in Europe that caused the formation of new churches as well as the reformation of the Catholic church.
