Traditional Standard English (SE) For many years, the only standard for properly spoken and written English was Standard British English (SBE), also known as Received Pronunciation (RP) in the 19th century.

As early as the first colonies in 1500, there was debate amongst the settlers if it was best to kill all the natives, or to capture them and to put them to work as slaves. (Stannard, cited in Relle & Madras, 48) The Indians were always judged by Western European standards

Sadly, this word has also become common cultural and political parlance in the vocabulary of America and the world today, given the horrific events that transpired during World War II in Europe, and later, during the 20th century in Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia. But is the present American nation, long before these chronicled events of recent memory, stained with a similar historical blemish of cultural eradication? Were the words spoken by one English colonist, "the only good savage is a dead savage," (Relle & Madras, 2003) merely hyperbole or representative of the English nation's entire ideology regarding the native peoples of the Americas? David Stannard says yes, what transpired between the colonists and the natives was genocide
But Marlowe's livelihood was terminated at a fairly young age when he died in a tavern fight in Deptford, the wounded by a knife in his eye.

The great dramatists like Ibsen with much of their efforts in terms of sleepless skills it has been possible to accomplish of such conventions of actuality without violation of the fundamental necessities of dramatic experience. (Wiggins, 7) "In the Wild Duck and still more in Rosmersholm this stupendous juggling feat is achieved; in the latter masterpiece, indeed, by a supreme concentration of the artist's faculties, the essential drama is not only unharmed but in the end empowered by it
The landmarks in literature are not considered to be stand still with the deaths of kings and queens. (Wilson, 31) The main elements of Jacobean literature are considered to be apparent in the 1590s with the publication of the Faerie Queene
1). He defines "other" as someone "refusing to be defined by a language that has never been able to recognize him" (Baldwin, par
Prejudice is not merely imparted or superimposed. It is metabolized into the bloodstream of society" (Moore 474)
But how little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture. (Austen, 50) The irony here is that if much of the Victorian critique of marriage hinged upon its suppression of female autonomy, Elizabeth Bennett's (and by extension Jane Austen's) critique of the union of Wickham and Lydia Bennett seems to indicate it was due to an excess of female autonomy, where "their passions were stronger than their virtue
