British Abolitionism in Hannah More's "Slavery, A Poem"
Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Potsdam, language: English, abstract: In the following, the author wants to explore in what way the poem "Slavery, A Poem" by Hannah More serves abolitionist means. A quote of Hannah More (1745 - 1833) in a letter to her sister states: “I grieve I did not set about it sooner; as it must now be done in such a hurry... but, good or bad, if it does not come out at the particular moment when the discussion comes on in Parliament, it will not be worth a straw.” (Feldman, 1997, p. 470) This statement is referring to her poem “Slavery, A Poem.” that she wrote in 1788. Reading this quotation one can act on the assumption that the poem and its time of publication served a specific purpose. Knowing that Hannah More was an active member of the British abolitionism and knowing that she wrote the poem for this very reason; we can come to the following study question: In what way is the typical British abolitionism represented in Hannah Mores poem?

Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam, language: English, abstract: Entering the critical dialogue about sentimental books one has to ask if purely descriptive, real and “true” writing can evoke such deep feelings in the reader or if highlighting features in fictional representations and thus creating another “sentimental” reality is what makes writing a great piece of art. Margaret Mitchell’s work "Gone with the wind" takes the reader to the lost era of southern grandeur, plantations and grand festivities. In describing this time with a sense of longing and nostalgia out of Scarlett O’Hara’s...

Differences between Male and Female Pronunciation with Regard to "G-Dropping" in Southern American English
Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Potsdam, language: English, abstract: In which way and why is there a difference in pronunciation between male and female speakers of Southern American English? When researching Southern American English, it becomes quite obvious, that there is no common and typical standard Southern pronunciation and thus the quote seems to be valid. Nevertheless one can determine certain overall pronunciation features when listening to speakers of Southern American English. “Southern American English pronunciation differs from region to region, even from person to person, because speakers from different circumstances in and different parts of the United States commonly employ regional and social features to some extent even in formal situations”, William A. Kretzschmar Junior proclaimed in the Mouton textbook of Varieties of English (In: Schneider, 2008, p. 37).
