As the capitalist system came to fruition, the early classical economists of this time developed categories to analyze this system. Thomas Robert Malthus’ An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798), Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, and David Ricardo’s On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation attempt to explain the newly integrated world while criticising the mercantilist ideas that the European countries had adopted during this period of time. The contrast between mercantilism and classical economists focuses on wealth being tied to gold vs. exchanging goods of value through trade. These early economists were aware of the negative externalities of that the trade system had introduced into the lives of working people, but often justified the concepts due to efficiency or sustainability. In Thomas Robert Malthus’ An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798), the author highlights the issue of overpopulation and food production restraints. From this, Malthus explains that the power of population is far greater than the power to provide food to man and proposes that "population must always be kept down to the level of the means of subsistence” (Medema 200). Malthus goes into further detail, modeling an arithmetic subsistence production against a geometric population growth. He then describes the checks that help keep population in order, preventative and positive. Preventative checks are the “foresight of the difficulties attending the rearing of a family”…

people, convinced it is the truth. Unaware of the horrors, the men will go in with a positive attitude. After their experience on the battlefield, they will leave a different person having experience first hand the horrors and destructions of war. Others will enter from a draft; they will not want to fight for their country. Instead they want to make it out alive. Seeing the horror invokes the savagery in man for the one goal of survival. Different reasons for entering the war results in…

improve society. During the romanticism period, artists, authors, etc. took a different route, then how it was in the Neoclassical era. Artists chose to go in a more emotional, creative style for their creations. These artists also chose to display more symbolic and exotic subjects (i.e. paintings, books, poems).

In the poem, “Ulysses,” author Lord Tennyson writes about the king of Ithaca, Ulysses, who had fought in the Trojan War, and had so deeply enjoyed his many travels that he is bored of ruling over his island home, and once again yearns to explore the world.

Complete Isolation Throughout history, art and poetry have seemed to begin to share some of the same characteristics. Poetry is another form of art, and the art itself allows you to visualize the setting and feelings of the poem. Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem and Waterhouse’s painting, both titled “The Lady of Shalott,” depict the lady not experiencing reality and only seeing life through a reflection. Her life is lived in complete isolation, and remains that way even after she departs from the…

Poetry is a journey into a new world of language that leaves readers fascinated. Poets take their time to intermingle different forms of figurative language to present their topic in a way that takes time to understand. By using rhetorical devices a poet is capable of taking short stanzas and making them into a work of art that can leave the reader guessing the intended meaning for generations. Well written poems contain various types of rhetorical devices such as imagery, metaphors, similes,…

In the short span of four parts, her tale spans the themes of dreams, imprisonment, misogyny, and death. Not only…

Neutral Tones Analysis The poem ‘Neutral Tones’ by Thomas Hardy is a dark, solemn poem, reflecting on the termination of a relationship that he had in the late 1860s. It has a very melancholic note and in the duration of the poem, he shows the sadness and emotions in the narrator. The poem was published in 1898, however at the bottom of the poem he marked it as being written in 1867, perhaps he did not want it to be published then, before he met Eliza Nickels. It has a rhyme pattern of ABBA as…
