Title of the paper: Study on Winston Churchill’ speeches delivered during the Battle of France
Author or topic: Winston Churchill
Abstract:
After and introduction on the on the topics that are going to be dealt with in this essay and providing a brief socio-historical introduction on the context of the Battle of France (May 13 to June 25, 1940), its backgrounds, who participated, what happened and the final number of casualties, the reader will be guided towards the three speeches delivered by Winston Churchill during that period.
As we have already studied on Churchill’s “We shall fight on the beaches” in the previous paper, it will be taken for granted that readers already know about the Dynamo operation in Dunkirk and every matter it concerned.
That is the reason why in this study only the speeches delivered in 1949 on May 13, “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat“ and June 18, “The Finest Hour” will be analysed paying attention to their content and providing a stylistic commentary on the hidden aspects of the named speeches.
