Dyrness. Reformed Theology and Visual Culture: the Protestant Imagination from Calvin to Edwards. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004. xv + 339 pp. + 43 illus. $85.00. Review by GRAHAM PARRY, UNIVERSITY OF YORK. William Dyrness writes as an American professor of theology enquiring into the causes of the bleakness of the Reformed churches he frequents. These interiors were intended as containers for congregations who came in order to hear the word of God. Is their plainness simply a denial of tradi- tional religious aesthetics, or was their doctrinaire rejection of imagery and colour a way of intensifying the inward workings of the spiritual imagination that had no need of external supports? In his introductory remarks Dyrness confesses to a certain sense of deprivation in his settings of worship, and even suggests that Reformed Protestants generally have a diminished response to the visual arts and to the beauty of the world around them. Taking as a starting point the belief that most American Protestants have lost touch with the historical reasons for their plain church settings, he explores the arguments for and against imagery in churches from the beginnings of the Reformation in Germany to eighteenth-century New England. The question that Dyrness raises is: Was there in any positive sense a Puritan aesthetic? We are accustomed to characterising Puritan responses to the material world as wary, suspicious, or hostile, yet their preachers did on occasion evoke the complex harmony of the creation as evidence of God’s goodness towards mankind, and some of them were prepared to admit that natural beauty revealed something of divinity. In attempting to identify an aesthetic sense that is demonstrably Puritan, Dyrness gets drawn into an am- bitious yet not always rewarding survey of the artistic activities of the

Had it not been for the assistance and co-operation of Mr. Antony S. Chambers, chairman of W. & R. Chambers Ltd, this study would never have become a reality. Not only did he initially give an unknown American permission to study the firm's archives, but he has subsequently provided whatever I needed to facilitate my research. Gracious and generous, he is a worthy descendent of the first Robert Chambers. All associated with the Chambers firm— directors and warehousemen alike— played an important part in my research, from answering technical queries to helping unearth records almost forgotten. Equally helpful in their own way were the librarians of the University of Edinburgh Library and the National Library of Scotland. Finally, the people of Edinburgh made a signif­ icant, albeit indirect, contribution. From them I learned something of what it means to a Scot to be a Scot. In this country I owe my greatest debt to my adviser, Professor Richard D.

  • Introduction
    Introduction “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, inreproaches,innecessities,inpersecu- tions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for whenIamweak,thenamIstrong”- 2 Corinthians 12:10 The above quotation perfectly describes the female visionary writers discussed in this study, namely women who when confronted with cultural restrictions and negative stereotypes, found a voice of their own against all odds. By using their so-called infirmities, such as weakness and illness and the reproaches against them, they were able to turn these into strengths. Rather than stay- ing silent, these women wrote and published, thereby turning their seeming frailties into powerful texts. The focus of the following investigation revolves around two English visionary writers from the Middle Ages Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe as well as several female prophets such as Anna Trapnel, Anne Wentworth and Katherine Chidley from the seventeenth century. That period, particularly the decades between the 1640s and the 1660s, saw many revolutionary changes. In addition to such significant events as the behead- ing of Charles I in 1649 and the introduction of Cromwell’s Protectorate in 1653, “the extensive liberty of the press in England [...] may have [made it] easier for eccentrics to get into print than ever before or since” (Hill, The World Turned Upside Down 17). Indeed, according to Phyllis Mack, over 300 female vi- sionaries were able to use the absence of censorship at that time to voice their concerns and write about their lives and circumstances in prophetic writings (218). In addition to the absence of censorship the mode of prophecy was often used by these female visionaries in order to voice their concerns and ideas.

  • John Bale's Prefaces to Anne Askew's Examinations
    Framing the Reformation Woman Writer: John Bale’s Prefaces to Anne Askew’s Examinations Patricia Pender As a site in which the cultural meanings of female authorship are contested and negotiated, the preface is a key feature of the authorial apparatus that introduces the woman writer to her early modern reading public. John Bale’s prefaces to The Examinations of Anne Askew (1546/7) articulate a strident defence of Askew’s Reformist convictions, positioning her as an exemplary martyr in a ‘primitive’, proto-Protestant English tradition. Providing historical precedent and scriptural justification for both Askew’s authorship and his own role as editor, Bale’s prefaces provide valuable insights into the ways women’s writing was produced, framed, circulated, and promoted for its earliest print audiences. Spatially, formally, and historically, the preface occupies a unique role in the apparatus of authorship. Over the past thirty years, developments in the material history of the book, in formalist literary analysis, and in critical theory have championed the preface as a crucial component of the printed book, as a primary site for authorial self-fashioning, and as a location that most clearly marks and yet also problematizes the complex relationship between text and paratext. In early modern literary studies, these developments have revivified interest in a genre previously neglected as marginal, and renewed attention to the preface’s multiple roles in the production, transmission, and reception of early modern texts.1 In its focus on the preface, this article 1 Wendy Wall’s The Imprint of Gender: Authorship and Publication in the Renaissance (Chicago: Chicago University Press, 1993) offers a fascinating exploration of the preface’s role in negotiating the early modern stigma of print, elaborating allegories of reading and writing, and encoding the erotics of the commodified book.

Inevitably linked to Milton’s Restoration reputation as spokesman for the Protectorate and regicides, Paradise Lost’s reception in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries is marked by a series of approaches and retreats, repressions and recoveries. This dissertation examines the critical interventions made by P.H. (traditionally identified as Patrick Hume), John Dennis, Joseph Addison, and Richard Bentley into the reception history of a poem burdened by political and religious baggage. It seeks to illuminate the manner in which these earliest commentators sought to separate Milton’s politics from his poem, rendering the poem “safe” by removing it from contemporary political discourse.
