Literary Criticism - Essay on Dramatic PoesyRohitVyas25
John Dryden has given good criticism for dramatic poesy. Here in this presentation, I've put introduction of the original essay and Dryden's definition of play.
Gaius Julius Caesarwas a Roman general, statesman. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 Julius Caesar takes place in ancient Rome in 44 b.c., when Rome was the center of an empire stretching from Britain to North Africa and from Persia to Spain. Yet even as the empire grew stronger, so, too, did the force of the dangers threatening its existence: Rome suffered from constant infighting between ambitious military leaders and the far weaker senators to whom they supposedly owed allegiance. The empire also suffered from a sharp division between citizens, who were represented in the senate, and the increasingly underrepresented plebeian masses. A succession of men aspired to become the absolute ruler of Rome, but only Julius Caesar seemed likely to achieve this status. Those citizens who favored more democratic rule feared that Caesar’s power would lead to the enslavement of Roman citizens by one of their own. Therefore, a group of conspirators came together and assassinated Caesar. The assassination, however, failed to put an end to the power struggles dividing the empire, and civil war erupted shortly thereafter. The plot of Shakespeare’s play includes the events leading up to the assassination of Caesar as well as much of the subsequent war, in which the deaths of the leading conspirators constituted a sort of revenge for the assassination.Many feared that her death would plunge England into the kind of chaos that had plagued England during the fifteenth-century Wars of the Roses.There are over 80 different translations of his plays and poems. The number of translations of Shakespeare’s works all over the world is second only to the Bible.

History 2020: United States Since 1877
Lecture 1: Gilded Age
1979: Dysfunctional presidency, do-nothing Congress, immigration crisis, ecological disasters, foreign affairs beyond control, ever-present terrorism
Background
*New World: Land, opportunity, promise, “Last best hope of man”
*Dark Side: Native Americans, Slavery
*Glue: Constitution, economic opportunity
*Civil War: made America, divided America, on-going process
*Reconstruction: promise, failure
Question: What forces inspired and led America in the late nineteenth-century?
One: Politics
Voting: no secret ballot, voting in public; yet high voter interest and turnout
African-Americans were Republicans!
Equilibrium: 1865 to 1889
Presidency: Republicans 5, Democrats: 1
Senate: Republicans 10, Democrats: 2
House: Republicans: 6, Democrats 6
High interest in politics; the “power” rested in Congress
Issues: Immigration, tariff, civil service reform, monetary policy, corruption, Bloody Shirt
Thomas Nast: Elephant and Donkey
Grant and scandals
The Election of 1876
Democrat: Samuel J. Tilden, Governor of New York, instrumental in bringing down the Tweed Ring.

The Hayes Administration
Ruterfraud B. Hayes, Your Fraudulency, Lemonade Lucy
Republican Party Tensions:
Roscoe Conkling led the Stalwarts: machine politics
James G. Blaine led the Half-Breeds: civil service reform
Hayes favored civil service reform, but could do little about it.
Finally he removed Chester A. Arthur and Alonzo Cornell from the New York Customs House.
Conkling then blocked Hayes’s appointments.
Hayes won in the end, but at great political cost.
The Election of 1880
Democrat: Winfield Scott Hancock: Civil War Hero (no Bloody Shirt here!)
James A. Garfield: Civil War Hero and member of the US House
Garfield was a Half-Breed, to keep the Stalwarts happy, Chester A. Arthur was selected to run for vice-president.
“From the tow path to the White House”
Hancock: 155, 4,444,260
Garfield: 214, 4,446,158
A difference of 1,598 in the popular vote
The Assassination of Garfield
July 2, 1881, Charles Guiteau shot Garfield at a train station in Washington.
“I am a Stalwart and Arthur is president now.”
Garfield lived for nearly three months, dying on September 19, 1881.
The Arthur Administration
Few positive expectations for the former Conklinite spoilsman. Even his birthplace was in question.
Arthur, however, arose to the occasion and dismayed party bosses.
The Pendleton Act of 1883 placed a limited number of federal job ...
