A Very Foul Sin Bellingham’s Inquest This year there was discovered a very foul sin, committed by three persons, who the year following came under censure for the same.3 John Winthrop, October 1641 n 1634 two proud Puritan squires set foot in the young aspiring Massachusetts Bay Plantation. Richard Bellingham hails from Brombye Wood in the Earl of Lincoln’s I domain near the ancient city of Boston.4 Prior to the journey the wealthy Bellingham divests extensive family holding to a cadre of Puritan elites.5 John Humfrey, originally of Dorset and lately of Westminster, is husband to the Lincolnshire Earl’s sister. He is already in significant financial distress. Whereas Bellingham shines luminous in Bay history, Humfrey is confined to a dark historic hole by the revelation of his family secretly polluted. From a warm Bay welcome at age forty-three, Bellingham rises rapidly within the heirarchy. Assuming the position of deputy Governor in 1635, he serves frequently thereafter as Assistant on the Governing Council,6 gaining a formidable reputation for 3 The Journal of John Winthrop, 370 4 Richard Bellingham (1592-1672) of Bromby in Lincolnshire was sired by William Bellingham (I) out of Frances Amcotts. Siblings included younger brother William (II) and sisters Susannah (m. Pormont), Sarah (m. Goodrick), Judith, and possibly Hester (m. Hibbins). Townsend, “Bellingham Sketch” New England Historical and Genealogic Register, 1882, 36:381-386; 1894, 48:74. Bellingham was Recorder (municiple judge) of Boston, Lincolnshire, from 1625-1633. [Erroneously identified as “Boston in New England” in editor Maddison’s Linconshire Pedigrees, vol. ii (London 1903) redaction of Harliean MS 1550 in Publications of the Harleian Society, 1892, vol. 50, 117-118.] His annual wage was 6£13p, the same salary as the Mayor’s chef. Bellingham was elected to the quickly dissolved 1628 Parliament. In 1629 he helped draft the charter for the London-based Massachusetts Bay Company. Thompson, The History and Antiquities of Boston in the County of Lincoln, 428; Cook, Linconshire Links, 49 5 Robert Lord Brooke, Richard Knightly, and John Hampden paid Bellingham £3000 for his Messuages, Cottages, lands, tenements, meadows, &c. &c. &c. in Brombey Wood & Borringham. An additional £1200 was gained from the liquidation of other holdinga. “Abstracts of Close Roll 9 of Charles I., part 35, Nos. 22, 23, 24,” in Townsend, “Bellingham Sketch” New England Historical and Genealogic Register, 1882, 36:386-387 6 The Journal of John Winthrop, 131, n.39. After 1641 Bellingham served continuously as Magistrate, but his disastrous first term as Governor delayed return to post until 1654. In 1653 and 1655-1664 he was elected Deputy Governor. In 1664 he was received the title of Major General. Upon Endecott’s death in 1665 Bellingham sat as governor for nine more terms until his own death in 1672 at the age of eighty-one. 1 ...Secretly Polluted temper, severity78 and a persecuting spirit. In June 1641 Bellingham wins the coveted Governorship in a hotly contested General Court election marked by substantial ballot irregularities.9 Ex-governor Winthrop claims that his own votes by Deputies are rejected on a technicality unsupported by order of the court;10 that Bellingham is chosen unduly.11 His protests garners little support. Savage, Genealogical Dictionary of New England, i, 161; Moore, Memoirs of American Governors, 335- 346 7 Bellingham’s judicial severity was manifest in the Baptist and Quaker persecutions of the next two decades. While avoiding the imposition of the death penalty, he applied maximum whipping (stripes), public derogation, mutilation and banishment to rid the Bay of its blasphemous and heretical religious disruptors. In July 1658, during the blasphemy-heresy trials of Quakers Christopher Holder, John Copeland and John Rouse, Bellingham declaimed: though they knew the law, yet they are come again in contempt to revile magistrates and ministers and to break all order in Churches and to deceive the people, and so whatever come upon them, whether loss of ears or loss of life, their blood be upon their own heads.

Written at sea by Quakers (London, 1659), 86-88. Holder was emprisoned, whipped, banished and lost an ear. Records Court Assistants iii, 109; Powers, Crime and Punishment in Early Massachusetts, 337-338. Bellingham also adjudicated the sentence of Wenlock Christison (Christenson), who had been jailed for a time in 1659, sentenced to hang, recanted and banished, but returned. He and two obdurate recidivist Quaker women were dragged through the streets at Boston, Roxbury,

His education was rudimentary but after leaving school he became something of an autodidact, studying a range of disciplines including philosophy, psychology, literature, and theology. He suffers from a form of schizophrenia, and passionately believes that the mentally distressed should be able to express their creativity without having it pathologised by others. His themes are often based around confinement, guilt, a search for personal identity and freedom. Walker has written several novels, short stories, essays, and a five act play, but his first love is poetry. His natural world poems are an expression of existential themes and a link to a childhood in the North Yorkshire moors and draw much inspiration from Ted Hughes and John Clare, the latter with whom Walker also shares a life of psychiatric institutionalisation. Walker has had poems published in small magazines, in addition to winning prizes in the Koestler Creative Arts Scheme. This is his first published collection. Neil Hopkins was born in 1970. His poems have appeared in various poetry magazines and journals including The Rialto, Acumen, Staple, The Interpreters House, Haiku Quarterly and Other Poetry.

Lessley; Professor James Symons, second reader Abstract This study examines Tom Stoppard and Michael Frayn‘s incorporation of epistemological themes related to the limits of historical knowledge within their recent biography-based plays. The primary works that are analyzed are Stoppard‘s The Invention of Love (1997) and The Coast of Utopia trilogy (2002), and Frayn‘s Copenhagen (1998), Democracy (2003), and Afterlife (2008). In these plays, caveats, or warnings, that illustrate sources of historical indeterminacy are combined with theatrical stylizations that overtly suggest the authors‘ processes of interpretation and revisionism through an ironic distancing.

    From Hawthorne to History: The Mythologizing of John Endecott A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Abigail F. Davis IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Edward M. Griffin June 2009 copyright Abigail F. Davis 2009 i DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to Dr. Edward M. Griffin advisor, mentor, friend ii ABSTRACT Since the Revolutionary War, American historians, literary artists, and social commentators have undertaken a retroactive search for an acceptable myth of origin predating the Revolution. While the war itself has been endlessly and successfully deployed as a sterling founding moment, that claim alone has proved insufficient for several reasons. First, Americans have long been ambivalent about their pre-Revolution Puritan heritage. The new republic emerging from the revolutionary effort rested on ground previously inhabited by British colonists (and others) since the 1620s, but the colonial past did not readily speak to the feisty, independent, and distinctively AAmerican” self-image that mythologized during and after the war . Additionally, by the 19 th century, when the writing of New England history came prominently into vogue, quite a few pages of the Puritan chapter had become embarrassing. Something else was needed: an event earlier than the shot heard round the world in 1775, and a governing image more manly than the standard figure of the pious Puritans. When Nathaniel Hawthorne =s stories AEndicott and the Red Cross @ and AThe May- Pole of Merry Mount @ entered the nubile world of American literature in the 1830s, Hawthorne seemed to have answered that call.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL the Creative Writer in the Public Sphere
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL The Creative Writer in the Public Sphere being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Mary Aherne, B.A., M.A. October, 2013 Summary This thesis provides an analysis of the creative writer in contemporary Britain, using both literary and cultural theory to define and understand the roles available to the writer. It explores how these roles are interpreted by writers. The thesis offers new research and insights into the scope of current patronage practices, examines how the writer engages with these new roles, and assesses the potential impact on the writer, the reader and literature. Based on research conducted in the UK, this thesis focuses on four major contexts: the writer in residence, the prize culture, the literary festival, and the writer in the blogosphere. It considers how the writer’s role has been reconstructed in different social and cultural contexts. In addition, this study highlights writers’ perception of their public role and their position in society; the multiple and complex power relations inherent in these roles; the increasingly public presence of the writer; the reader-writer relationship, and the impact on the literature produced. Reflecting my own literary interests and practices, it focuses on the work and experiences of poets and novelists, rather than on those of dramatists and non- fiction writers. This study contributes to the as yet limited body of research into contemporary patronage practices. Furthermore, the thesis contributes to the historicising and theorisation of the creative writer which links the individual experience of writers with social and cultural structures and processes, making reference to the theories of Theodor Adorno, Roland Barthes, Pierre Bourdieu, Terry Eagleton and Jürgen Habermas.

  • Samuel Shattuck
    FRIEND SAMUEL SHATTUCK 1594 In about this year, in the vicinity of Dorsetshire in England, Samuel Shattuck was born. 1627 The man who would become stepfather to Samuel Shattuck settled in at Naumkeeg (would become Salem). 1638 Samuel Shattuck arrived at Salem in the company of his parents. 1657 Early in the year: Mary Dyer and Ann Burden arrived in Boston by ship from England, Mary as a former Bostonian relocated to Rhode Island who was returning after a trip to England (begun in 1650), and Ann as a Boston widow who was returning home to settle her dead husband’s estate. However, it was learned that while in England the two women had been converted to Quakerism.1 Unexpectedly, instead of a warm homecoming, they were carted off to jail. This would be the year in which: “Christopher Holder and John Copeland, Quakers, were whipped through town with knotted cords, with all the strength the hangman could command. The prisoners were gagged with a stick in the mouth, to prevent their outcries.” What had happened with Friend Christopher Holder was that he had caused a disruption by attempting to speak 1. In the quite numerous Dyer family, only Mary Dyer and her son William, Jr. (Will) would ever be converts to Quakerism. HDT WHAT? INDEX SAMUEL SHATTUCK SAMUEL SHATTUCK in church in Salem after the Sunday sermon (it was during this year, incidentally, that Quaker meetings for worship were beginning locally). A guard there had brought him to the floor and stuffed his glove and handkerchief into Holder’s mouth.
