This book is written chiefly with a View to ’ bring out the spiritual side of Walton s character. I cannot find that anyone before me has attempted to do this . Walton was (to borrow a splendid “ ” r - ph ase) a God intoxicated man , and to ignore this fact seems fatal to any right estimate of his character and life . I venture to think that some little fresh in formation may be found ih this book which may 1 See an arti le in the N a tiona l R eview D e e er 1901 c of c mb , Mr A s it by qu h . viii PR E FA CE a . be cceptable to Waltonians It is , however , written in the first instance for those who only “ know of Walton as a Fisherman and as the author of The Comp lete Angler ; and in hope that this humble contribution to Waltonian lore may t not only ins ruct, but so enamour the reader that he may for himself “ rummage Walton ’s I writings , the only way, apprehend , to get to f the heart o the writer.

  • MIDDLEMARCH Adam Roberts Epigraphs and Mirrors A
    MIDDLEMARCH AdAm RobeRts Epigraphs and Mirrors A AdAm RobeRts d A m Using epigraphs as a lens to open up new vistas, this study explores a wide range R of connectons. Moving freely between epigraphs and the main text, Roberts obe succeeds in throwing fresh light on the manifold ‘middleness’ of Middlemarch and the richness and sophistcaton of George Eliot’s realism. R ts John Rignall In Middlemarch, George Eliot draws a character passionately absorbed by abstruse allusion and obscure epigraphs. Casaubon’s obsession is a cautonary tale, but Adam Roberts nonetheless sees in him an invitaton to take Eliot’s use of epigraphy and allusion seriously, and this book is an atempt to do just that. Roberts considers the epigraph as a mirror that refracts the meaning of a text, and that thus carries important resonances for the way Eliot’s novels generate their meanings. In this lively and provoking study, he tracks down those allusions and quotatons that have hitherto gone unidentfed by scholars, examining their MIDDLEMARCH relatonship to the text in which they sit to unfurl a broader argument about the novel – both this novel, and the novel form itself. Middlemarch: Epigraphs and Mirrors is both a study of George Eliot and a meditaton on the textuality of fcton. It is essental reading for specialists and students of George Eliot, the nineteenth century novel, and intertextuality. It will also richly reward anyone who has ever taken pleasure in Middlemarch. This is the author-approved editon of this Open Access ttle. As with all Open Book publicatons, this entre book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.

  • The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland
    The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland 15th International Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Literature and Language (ICMRSLL) University of Glasgow, Scotland, 25-28 July 2017 Draft list of speakers and abstracts Plenary Lectures: Prof. Alessandra Petrina (Università degli Studi di Padova), ‘From the Margins’ Prof. John J. McGavin (University of Southampton), ‘“Things Indifferent”? Performativity and Calderwood’s History of the Kirk’ Plenary Debate: ‘Literary Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland: Perspectives and Patterns’ Speakers: Prof. Sally Mapstone (Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews) and Prof. Roger Mason (University of St Andrews and President of the Scottish History Society) Plenary abstracts: Prof. Alessandra Petrina: ‘From the margins’ Sixteenth-century Scottish literature suffers from the superimposition of a European periodization that sorts ill with its historical circumstances, and from the centripetal force of the neighbouring Tudor culture. Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

  • Minimal Faith and Irenic Ideals in Seventeenth-Century Scholarly Circles Hugo Grotius As a Guardian of Isaac Casaubon’S Legacy*
    Church History Church History and and Religious Culture 94 (2014) 444–478 Religious Culture brill.com/chrc Minimal Faith and Irenic Ideals in Seventeenth-Century Scholarly Circles Hugo Grotius as a Guardian of Isaac Casaubon’s Legacy* Henk Nellen Huygens Institute, The Hague, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract This article shows how the Dutch humanist Hugo Grotius (1583–1645), inspired by his friend Isaac Casaubon, sought to introduce a procedure for mitigating strife in the Christian church. He proclaimed a division between a set of self-evident, universally accepted key tenets, to be endorsed by all believers, and a larger number of secondary, not completely certain articles of faith, which were to be left open for friendly debate. The doctrine of the Trinity belonged to the second category; it should be treated in a careful, detached way, in words that did not go beyond the terminology of the Bible. However, defenders of this irenic stance laid themselves open to severe criticism: the example of the conservative Lutheran theologian Abraham Calovius illustrates how they were censured for giving up divinely inspired truth for a chimerical unionist ideal which cajoled them into reintroducing the early Christian heresy of Arianism, now called Socinianism. Keywords minimal faith – secularisation – Socinianism – exegesis – seventeenth-century intellectual life – Grotius – Casaubon * Research for this article was conducted within the project ‘Biblical Criticism and Seculariza- tion in the Seventeenth Century’ (nwo, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, 360–25–090). I am indebted to two anonymous reviewers for their remarks on an earlier ver- sion of this article.

  • Modernizing George Eliot: the Writer As Artist, Intellectual, Proto-Modernist, Cultural Critic
    Newton, K.M. "Prototypes and Symbolism in Middlemarch." Modernizing George Eliot: The Writer as Artist, Intellectual, Proto-Modernist, Cultural Critic. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2010. 69–78. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 28 Sep. 2021. <http:// dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781849665155.ch-005>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 28 September 2021, 01:32 UTC.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 5 Prototypes and Symbolism in Middlemarch he question of prototypes for characters in George Eliot’s fi ction has Talways been a subject of interest. The publication of Richard Ellmann’s essay ‘Dorothea’s Husbands’ in the Times Literary Supplement in 1973 1 provoked a long-running correspondence in its letters page. This correspondence refl ected the assumption that one should look to real people personally known to her for prototypes of her characters.2 But though Middlemarch is undoubtedly in certain respects a novel with some strongly personal aspects, it is also concerned with wider issues. To consider the question of prototypes only in relation to people she knew personally limits the novel’s scope since it does not suffi ciently acknowledge that Eliot is both artist and intellectual and that for her the two are not separable. I shall suggest that historical fi gures were a more signifi cant infl uence on Eliot’s characterization in artistic terms than people she knew and that this can offer insight into some of the cultural issues the novel is concerned with.

Smith had been born in Hereford, he became a prebend there in 1580, and his career was closely associated with that of another Hereford Cathedral prebend, Gervase Babington (1549/50-1610). His time at Gloucester seems to have been difficult and controversial, and it is striking he chose to leave his books to the library at Hereford, where he was born, rather than Gloucester, where he was a bishop. Smith does not seem to have been unique in his desire to improve libraries’ holdings of oriental books: Richard Kilbye (1560-1620), for instance, left his collection of Hebrew books to the library of Lincoln College,

  • ABSTRACT the Prevenient Piety of Samuel Wesley, Sr. Arthur Alan
    ABSTRACT The Prevenient Piety of Samuel Wesley, Sr. Arthur Alan Torpy Mentor: William H. Brackney, Ph.D. The life and times of Samuel Wesley, Sr. have been addressed since the time of John and Charles Wesley as an absentee father with little positive influence on the Wesley family. However, the literary contributions of Samuel have been overlooked. Having examined his writings, this dissertation offers a fuller portrait of Samuel Wesley. The thesis of this work is that Samuel Wesley was a complex person whose thoughts, actions, and positions were based on his understanding and practice of his traditions, experience, scripture, and reasoning. A key to understanding Wesley’s life and thought can be found in the Pietist strains evident in his writings, published and unpublished, which formed the basis of his decisions and actions. The chapters explore the dynamics of late seventeenth- century England’s cultural milieu where Wesley was raised and educated within post-Uniformity Dissent and provide his rationale for gradually conforming to the Established Church. The origins of Continental Pietism is summarized and its influence on the Established Church through Anthony Horneck. Also discussed is Samuel’s view of scripture within the context of the nascent critical apparatus introduced by Richard Simon and Baruch Spinoza. Samuel’s rejection of this critical approach is a key to understanding his scriptural hermeneutic which formed the basis of his actions. The overarching characteristic of Samuel Wesley’s life and thought was his understanding of Piety which he passed along to his sons, most notably John and Charles, but also Samuel, Jr.
