Combining the pro-status quo nineteenth-century Volunteer movement with forced prison treadwheel labour specific to the same era yields a precursor of less-similar form than the current spectacle but with an exceedingly similar function. The Volunteer movement was little more than rational recreation under the guise of preparing for a war that never came, while prison officials of the era commodified treadwheel labour as a way to make inmates pay for their own institutional expenses. Thorstein Veblen’s concept of conspicuous consumption of leisure time defines both the 19th-century Volunteer movement and its current counterpart, which also exhibits characteristics of rational recreation. Both the Volunteer movement and today’s charity running events were and are developed and employed in countries where the governments of the day took (and take) a ‘live and let live’ approach to service provision. Nancy Scheper- Hughes and Margaret Lock’s publication “The Mindful Body: A Prolegomenon to Future Work in Medical Anthropology,” provides a useful analytical tool with which to compare and contrast the individual, social and political aspects of the Volunteer movement, prison treadwheel labour and fundraising distance running. ii Preface All research projects begin at the level of the personal and this one is no exception. I have had some form of chronic illness all my life. When I was younger, I had severe asthma and running was never something I felt comfortable doing. In the late ‘90s, I joined an asthma study where I found out I was under-medicated and, therefore, not eligible to participate in the study. This turned out to be good news, however, since I changed my medication regimen and suddenly found myself able to partake in strenuous exercise. Running marathons became my hobby for a while and, during the period from 2001 to 2004; I trained for and participated in six of them. Many of these, and races of shorter duration – in which I participated as part of my training - raised money for charity. In January of 2004, I began to experience chronic, severe pain. I subsequently had five abdominal surgeries between December 2004 and February 2012 and stopped running. Astonishingly, I found myself once again sitting on the sidelines hoping that there might one day be a cure for my illness. I had never thought much about how curious running to raise money and awareness for disease treatment was until I was no longer able to do it myself. The stark contrasts between having a physical limitation, getting rid of it and falling ill with a new chronic illness opened my eyes to the paradoxical nature of a phenomenon that features able-bodied people running to raise money for the care of their disabled compatriots, especially in a country with universal healthcare. It seemed to me that the social definition of pedestrian had changed and that this latest iteration of the activity may have been what changed it. Walking or running anywhere – for any purpose other than to win a bet or a iii prize – was once a behavior attributed only to the poorest or most desperate of citizens. The distance runner appeared to have evolved from aimless vagabond to purposeful protagonist, as far as the general population and the popular media were concerned. I thought it was time someone took a closer look at running events that raised money for healthcare-related charities. Most of these fundraising distance-running events originated in the 1980s and ‘90s, meaning that it was likely most of the event founders were still living. The best way to find out what led them to incorporate such events would be merely to ask them, I reasoned. My original goal was to produce a topical oral history and to reconstruct how the genesis of such events was understood to be a desirable outgrowth of the economic, political and emotional climate from which they originated. My initial research plan was to interview the founders of distance-running fundraising events. In addition to these interviews, I had planned to analyze archived event documents and survey race participants. Methodological triangulation employing these qualitative methods would have, I hoped, facilitated an understanding of the historic, economic, political and emotional influences and processes that led to the genesis of this new genre of sporting event, from the perspective of the principals as well as from that of historical traces. Through surveying race participants I had, furthermore, planned to investigate whether the early goals of the event founders had been realized in the motivations of current constituents. Analyzing archived documents would have assisted me with discerning the individual founders’ rationales for propagating an event designed to raise funds for iv health research through distance running en masse, would have allowed for substantiation of interview data, and provided demographic information on race participants. I had designed the survey instrument to augment archival data on latent cognitive dissonance and to discover whether race participants shared the same views on the purposes of these races as the race founders did when they incorporated these events. Well-publicized - but largely unconfirmed in the literature - reasons for engaging in this genre of sporting activity include the remembrance, acknowledgement or publicity of a loved one’s battle with a particular illness in addition to self-affirmation on the part of participants who have actually experienced the illness for which a given event raises research funds. This was the only part of the original plan that I was able to execute but, by the time I had completed it, I had no other related research to back it up. I had targeted five organizations which hosted events that were either wholly local in character or were local versions of a larger national or international framework. The five organizations I targeted were: the Terry Fox Run, Calgary Marathon, Forzani’s Mother’s Day Run, Father’s Day Run for Prostate Cancer, and CIBC’s Run for the Cure. I was unable to make contact with the person(s) responsible for the genesis of the last three events as directing my inquiries to the contact information posted on the websites for these events yielded no response. I was able to correspond with Fred Fox from The Terry Fox Foundation, who was willing to give an interview but not to grant access to provincial archives. According to him, the organization does not keep demographic data on participants. I was doubtful, in any case, of the amount of involvement he had had in the creation of the Terry Fox Run and one interview with one possible event v founder was virtually useless for my purposes. I also corresponded with a representative of the Calgary Marathon who assured me that the organization was just too busy to assist with my request. An added difficulty with using the Calgary Marathon was that, while the current iteration of the Calgary Marathon has a health charity focus, the original version of the race did not. The narrowed focus on running for health- related charities only became a reality for this event in 2009, and was a decision made by committee and not a lone individual. Given the lack of interest on the part of the Calgary Marathon’s executive committee for my project, interviewing everyone responsible for the change in direction seemed unlikely to happen. The organization responsible for the Father’s Day Run for Prostate Cancer allowed me access to their race participants for the survey portion of my research, but I was unable to make contact with anyone at an executive level. As I had not been able to gain access to any organization’s archives nor secure an interview with any reliable source, the methodological triangulation I had originally envisioned was no longer a viable option. The only feasible part of the project remaining was the participant survey questionnaire, which has been omitted from this thesis document due to space and time constraints. When I realized that Plan A was going nowhere, I knew Plan B was in order. I began to read everything that seemed related to the question at hand. Two good leads surfaced early on: one was a capital ‘V’ on the phrase ‘Volunteer movement’ in a Victorian-era publication called the Badminton Library – a sort of encyclopedia of sport for the era.

  • EDUCATION in LANCASHIRE and CHESHIRE, 1640-1660 Read 18
    EDUCATION IN LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE, 1640-1660 BY C. D. ROGERS, M.A., M.ED. Read 18 November 1971 HE extraordinary decades of the Civil War and Interregnum, Twhen many political, religious, and economic assumptions were questioned, have been seen until recently as probably the greatest period of educational innovation in English history. Most modern writers have accepted the traditional picture of puritan attitudes and ideas, disseminated in numerous published works, nurtured by a sympathetic government, developing into an embryonic state system of education, a picture given added colour with details of governmental and private grants to schools.1 In 1967, however, J. E. Stephens, in an article in the British Journal of Educational Studies, suggested that detailed investigations into the county of York for the period 1640 to 1660 produced a far less admirable view of the general health of educational institutions, and concluded that 'if the success of the state's policy towards education is measured in terms of extension and reform, it must be found wanting'.2 The purpose of this present paper is twofold: to examine the same source material used by Stephens, to see whether a similar picture emerges for Lancashire and Cheshire; and to consider additional evidence to modify or support his main conclusions. On one matter there is unanimity. The release of the puritan press in the 1640s made possible a flood of books and pamphlets not about education in vacuo, but about society in general, and the role of the teacher within it. The authors of the idealistic Nova Solyma and Oceana did not regard education as a separate entity, but as a fundamental part of their Utopian structures.

  • The Politics of Gossip in Early Virginia
    "SEVERAL UNHANDSOME WORDS": THE POLITICS OF GOSSIP IN EARLY VIRGINIA Christine Eisel A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2012 Committee: Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor Timothy Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Stephen Ortiz Terri Snyder Tiffany Trimmer © 2012 Christine Eisel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ruth Wallis Herndon, Advisor This dissertation demonstrates how women’s gossip in influenced colonial Virginia’s legal and political culture. The scandalous stories reported in women’s gossip form the foundation of this study that examines who gossiped, the content of their gossip, and how their gossip helped shape the colonial legal system. Focusing on the individuals involved and recreating their lives as completely as possible has enabled me to compare distinct county cultures. Reactionary in nature, Virginia lawmakers were influenced by both English cultural values and actual events within their immediate communities. The local county courts responded to women’s gossip in discretionary ways. The more intimate relations and immediate concerns within local communities could trump colonial-level interests. This examination of Accomack and York county court records from the 1630s through 1680, supported through an analysis of various colonial records, family histories, and popular culture, shows that gender and law intersected in the following ways. 1. Status was a central organizing force in the lives of early Virginians. Englishmen punished women who gossiped according to the status of their husbands and to the status of the objects of their gossip. 2. English women used their gossip as a substitute for a formal political voice.

  • 1The Question of Authority
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-62664-4 - Authority and Disorder in Tudor Times, 1485-1603 Paul Thomas Excerpt More information 1 The question of authority When Henry VII won the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, there was no outstanding evidence that this victory was more than the latest turn in fortune in the series of skirmishes and slaughters that had characterised the Wars of the Roses and had, indeed, affected politics for the best part of a century. The crown had repeatedly changed hands and it might well do so again. There were plenty of candidates to dispute Henry’s tenuous hold upon it. Where monarchy, the greatest authority in the land, had faltered and might well falter again, the absence of the ‘king’s peace’ had thrown both local authority and private, informal authority into turmoil. However, as the Tudor monarchs sought to establish themselves and regain royal authority, so the scope for government to impose its peace locally in the shires and also to interfere in private family relationships, in sex and in religion might also become extended. These opening chapters will first look at the state of formal authority in England in the late-fifteenth century, and then examine the local and personal inter- relationships that characterised respect, order and hierarchy at ground level. Ultimately, authority in a formal sense in late-medieval England derived from king, church and nobility. There was, by 1485, a distinct loosening of the bonds of Christendom with the pope’s formal authority at its head, as kings and countries sought to redefine their relationship with the papacy and define and extend their regional privileges.

The book is made unique by the author’s perspective. He reflects the historical path to his Dynamic Universe theory that opens an unparalleled perspective to a deeper understanding of the harmony in nature – to click the pieces of the puzzle into their places. The book opens a unique possibility for the reader to make his own evaluation of the postulates behind our present understanding of reality. – Tarja Kallio-Tamminen, PhD, theoretical philosophy, MSc, high energy physics The book gives an exceptionally interesting perspective on the history of science and the development paths that have led to our scientific picture of physical reality. As a philosophical question, the reader may conclude how much the development has been directed by coincidences, and whether the picture of reality would have been different if another path had been chosen. – Heikki Sipilä, PhD, nuclear physics Would other routes have been chosen, if all modern experiments had been available to the early scientists? This is an excellent book for a guided scientific tour challenging the reader to an in-depth consideration of the choices made. – Ari Lehto, PhD, physics Tuomo Suntola, PhD in Electron Physics at Helsinki University of Technology (1971).

  • Seiichiro Ito (Ohtsuki City College, Japan)
    Neighbour country, Holland: an ideal model to follow, or just an enemy? Seiichiro Ito (Ohtsuki City College, Japan) Abstract In the seventeenth century, particularly in its first half, the English pamphleteers often argued that the English should learn the manner of herring fishing from the Dutch and it is essential for the success of the English trade. While they tended to focus on the technical aspects of fishing business, around mid-century some pamphleteers showed their interest in the Dutch society as a whole. They shared the list of their merits to learn from the Dutch model, such as the management of trade, low customs, low interest rates, and banking. Over the Navigation Act of 1651, some were supportive and some were against, but both sides shared the same images of Holland. From around 1670 the styles of the discourses of the pamphleteers who discuss trade also changed. They got more analytical and systematic. Roger Coke was an example. Introduction In 1651 where England was stepping into the way to the war with the Dutch, Thomas Hobbes was also one of those who had a complex feeling against them. Hobbes expresses it as follows: ‘I doubt not, but many men, have been contented to see the late troubles in England, out of an imitation of the Low Countries; supposing there needed no more to grow rich, than to change, as they had done, the forme of their Government.’ (Hobbes, Leviathan, 1991, p. 225.) Hobbes here shows one of reasons why the Common-wealth would lead to its dissolution. The example of the government of a neighbour country ‘disposeth men to alteration of the forme already setled’, just as false doctrines do.

But he saw through their weakness: he had only carried the principles that they all upheld − the right of God’s people to resist unholy rule, the duty of God’s Scotland to defend the Covenant against prelatic blasphemy − to their logical conclusion. What they shied away from was their own fear: they were afraid to strike the righteous blow, to be the sword of the Lord and of Gideon.”2 These words refer to the fictional character James Mitchel in the historical novel The Fanatic by the contemporary Scottish author James Robertson. The novel narrates the incarceration of the “justified sinner” Mitchel after he attempted to assassinate one of the great enemies of the Covenanters, archbishop James Sharp, in 1668.

  • I. Living Our Faith 1. a Brief History
    I. Living Our Faith 1. A Brief History Quakerism emerged in 17th century England, a period of religious and political upheaval in which the inherent authority of royalty, feudal lords, and the church were all actively questioned. The years had ended in which those who would translate the Bible into English were persecuted. The King James Bible of 1611 made the Scriptures available to more English-speaking people than ever before. Now people could read the Word of God for themselves, one by oneindividually or together, in their native tongue. Many beliefs that became part of Quaker faith and practice were not original with Quakers, who felt and knew the powerful currents of change in their time. A sect called the Levellers stressed human equality. The Puritans sought simpler forms of worship and believed that individuals, reading the Bible, could hear and understand the voice of God. The Seekers, disillusionedDisillusioned with churches altogether, waited for God to be revealed,the Seekers waited, sometimes in silence, for God to be revealed. The Ranters knew that God was indwelling in each soul, though their ways of expressing what they thought was the Spirit included overindulgence in tobacco and alcohol. The phrase “the Inner Light” was not original with Quakers; nor was the belief that there was something of God in each person. Yet Quakers survived when other sects did not, absorbing some members from those other groups. Why? Many answers have been suggested, and there is truth in each one: Quakers had gifted leaders who were committed to ministry and supported each other as “Publishers of Truth.” Committed Quakers, unlike many in other sects, did not recant when called before the authorities.

  • History As Points and Lines
    HISTORY AS POINTS AND LINES by Yuri Tarnopolsky and Ulf Grenander Manuscript 1998-2003 Yuri Tarnopolsky and Ulf Grenander, 2006 1 2 Foreword (2006) Most of this manuscript was finished by 1998. In 2001 the world entered a turbulent transition state toward an unknown future. In 2003 we added Chapter 28, A sunny day in September . Facing global uncertainty from many directions—climate change, energy constraints, new forms of warfare, borderless world, incompetence of governments—we need to look for a scientific consensus on complexity, as opposed to the divisive political, moral, and religious approaches. Testing the ideas of this book against the dramatic beginning of the twenty-first century, we feel confident that the pattern view of the world can be an effective way to understand the developing systems of unprecedented complexity. The intent of this manuscript is to attract attention to Pattern Theory as the science of complex systems. Complexity as subject presumes a complex audience. The style reflects our desire to educate, stimulate, and entertain, while introducing the reader to new and little known or forgotten ideas. The manuscript does not reflect the recent developments in non-numerical Pattern Theory, among which Patterns of Thought by Ulf Grenander should be mentioned in the first place. Patterns and Repertoire in History by Bertrand M. Roehner and Tony Syme ( Harvard University Press, 2002) was an important step toward the legitimization of the search for new ways in scientific study of history. Jared Diamond's Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed (Viking, 2004) approaches the subject from a different angle but remarkably close to the spirit of Pattern Theory.

    Prof. (Dr.) Anjum Ashrafi HOD Department of History B. S. College, Danapur, Patna B.A. Part I RESTORATION 0F 1660 IN ENGLAND The Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland took place in 1660 when King Charles II returned from exile in Europe. The preceding period of the Protectorate and the civil wars, came to be known as the Interregnum (1649–1660). The term Restoration is also used to describe the period of several years after, in which a new political settlement was established. It is very often used to cover the whole reign of Charles II (1660–1685) and often the brief reign of his younger brother James II (1685–1688). In certain contexts it may be used to cover the whole period of the later Stuart monarchs as far as the death of Queen Anne and the accession of the Hanoverian George I in 1714. For example, Restoration comedy typically encompasses works written as late as 1710. After the Lord Protector from 1658-9 Richard Cromwell ceded power to the Rump Parliament, Charles Fleetwood and John Lambert (general) John Lambert then dominated government for a year. On 20 October 1659 George Monck, the governor of Scotland under the Cromwells, marched south with his army from Scotland to oppose Fleetwood and Lambert. Lambert's army began to desert him, and he returned to London almost alone whilst Monck marched to London unopposed. The Presbyterian members, excluded in Pride's Purge of 1648, were recalled, and on 24 December the army restored the Long Parliament.
