Perhaps Lady Catherine is one of the characters in the book through whom the reader gets the greatest gist of how important class was in everyday life of the 19 th century people. During a conversation with Elizabeth Bennet Mr. Collins advises her not to fret about her appearance before visiting her ladyship. "Lady Catherine will not think the worse of you for being simply dressed. She likes to have the distinction of rank preserved." However horrid for some aristocrats marriage between the wealthy and the poor appeared, middle class mothers seemed to cherish it as a life goal. Mrs. Bennet is the best [Type here] example to prove that statement. She did not seem to care about the rich candidates' personality or behaviour, all that concerned her was his fortune. When a gentleman, Mr. Bingley, is said to be moving into the neighbourhood she immediately runs to her husband, already in the hopes of having one of her five daughters married to him
Saturday At first we will go visit Buckingham Palace which is the official London residence and principal workplace of the British monarch. We would also like to see the nearby park where are a lot of birds and squirrels. Then we would like to see the river Thames and the Big Ben. Just a short walk from the Thames is situated Westminster Abbey which is a significant building in British history. This beautiful gothic church is a UNESCO World Heritage. Kings, Queens, statesmen, aristocrats, poets, priests, heroes and villains are all part of the church's fascinating history. Many of whom were buried at the Abbey including Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, Dr. Samuel Johnson and Charles Darwin. There is a special Scientists corner at the church which is home to a memorial for Isaac Newton. On top of all this rich history, Westminster Abbey is a truly stunning building and the exterior offers visitors plenty of photo opportunites. We will

Bazarov feels some kind of pity towards Pavel, he finds that a man must be his own master, not trapped in the aristocratic emotionality. the true aristocrats - the anglomaniacs, westernists, the ,,Pechorin types".

wrote: "I go in for what is known in the trade as 'light writing' and those who do that humorists they are sometimes called are looked down upon by the intelligentsia and sneered at." Wodehouse's characters are often eccentric, with peculiar attachments, such as to newts (Gussie Fink-Nottle) or socks (Archibald Mulliner). His "mentally negligible" good-natured characters invariably make their lot worse by their half-witted (if that) schemes to improve a bad situation. Wodehouse's aristocrats, however, embody many of the comic attributes that characterize buffoons created by a genius. In many cases the classic eccentricities of Wodehouse's upperclass give rise to plot complications. Relatives, especially aunts and uncles, are commonly depicted with an exaggerated power to help or impede marriage or financial prospects, or simply to make life miserable. Friends are often more a trouble than a comfort in Wodehouse stories: the

British politics. Everyone wants to know what has been decided behind the closed doors of the Cabinet Room! Britain is administered from the Palace of Westminster in London. This is also known as the Houses of Parliament. Parliament is made up of two chambers - the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The members of the House of Lords are not elected; they qualify to sit in the House because they are bishops of the Church of England. aristocrats who have inherited their 'seats' from their fathers, people with titles, or senior judges of the legal system. There has been ta lk of reform this century because many Britons think that this system is undemocratic. The House of Commons, by contr'ast, has 651 seats which are occupied by Members of Parliament (MPs) who are elected by the British public. The United Kingdom is divided into constituencies, each of which has an elected MP in the House of Commons

18th C theme: transference of the classical tradition from the seat of its Latin origins, Italy, to the island of Britain. Very few who had actually travelled and seen ancient Rome (Arundel), because of wars, theological divide, it was to change. Peace with France, travel easier, more money. Essential part of education of ambitious young man – to see the home of the classical heritage which they cherished. From Britain biggest number of people on Grand Tour, wide spectrum (aristocrats, commoners, patrons, collectors, artists, designers, many women = virtual or invisible academy for them). Learning foreign languages, studying history, politics, laws. Looking at architecture, art, antiquities. Man was expected to return with qualities needed to move in international courtly aristocratic society, fluent in French, graceful in behaviour, polished in manners. Singly or in groups, under supervision (bear leader). Aristocrats alone (governor). Fixed route: Low
Authors: Algernon Swinburne, Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde. Took influence from France. Stressed the artificial and hedonistic (seeking pleasure as the primary goal). Art as an alternative for life and life as a work of art (idea from Pater – influenced Wilde). Writers were aristocrats, could afford to enjoy life and do what they liked. Walter Pater – theorist of English aestheticism. Experience as an ever-‐vanishing flux (flow/continuous movement). Oscar Wilde (1854-‐1900). Born in Ireland but lived in England and travelled to America
From early age had to support himself with dangerous manual jobs. Experienced the trouble of survival. Outlooks were eclectic (combination of various philosophies). Was influenced by socialism by Karl Marx, on the other hand the dark views of Nietzche. Believed in the trimph of working man (marx), but at the same the in the necessity of of the survival of the strongest. Was attracted to the Nietzches theory of the superman- the true aristocrats. The rest are the slaves. Morality, conscious, christianity-are the inventions of the slaves. Because this is how slaves tried to control the masters. 27.02.13 1920-jazz, post war euphoria, people were more less ,,From whom the bell tolls" Hemingway. Spanish civil war.

knowledge of the land and therefore contribute to its destruction. Stiva also comes to the country bearing news of Kitty, about whom Levin has been trying not to think. Stiva informs the countryman that the love of his life never ended up with the count. Levin and Stiva continue on to argue over Vronsky's place in society, and what, in general, is the aristocracy. The two male characters have extremely dissenting opinions--Stiva speaks positively about the aristocrats while Levin criticizes. The differences between the two widen. Chapters 17-25 Anna realizes she is pregnant with Vronsky's baby, and she informs Vronsky of this. In another climactic event, Vronsky loses a horserace he is slated to win. Vronsky loses the race because he is distracted by his relationship with Anna, especially because his brother and mother very much disapprove of the affair. His mother thinks he is becoming too dangerously preoccupied with a married woman
days of the century; people would say with pride 'He's got a fluffy coat!" Lauder added that though there had been surveys into cat colour distribution, the provenance of the "fluffy" cats did not seem to have been researched. According to Mary Batten: "It is known that there are polygenes which influence shorthair coat-length. These may also be present in longhair lines [...] It is arguable as to whether the 'fluffy' cat received its coat-length from the Persian or Iranian aristocrats or from the blending of cats brought from these areas by Romans, and the indigenous Scottish wild cat. However, almost certainly the factor which has produced the 'fluffy' coat is common to both sources. It is not an allele of either longhair or shorthair, but is a separate gene or polygenic series". As well as those domestic longhairs, "intermediates" or "Semi-longhairs" arose in a number of breeds either by spontaneous mutation or due to recessive genes introduced generations previously
came in occasionally as a consultant; and Professor Shungsky, old, distinguished, vigorous, the section's supreme authority on Japanese. He gave Doosia (the future Mrs. Petrov's nickname) an affectionate kiss on the cheek when, after four years of his tutoring, she translated a difficult sentence to his liking at her final examination. Shungsky had served in the czarist Army, and many others in the cryptanalytic section were elderly former Russian aristocrats, including counts and barons. This shocking breach of Bolshevik polity resulted from a serious shortage of linguists, who were needed in codebreaking. Cryptanalysts themselves were so excessively scarce that even when they were jailed they continued to work.
