  • The WILLIAMSBURG Brand Takes a “Trend-Meets-Tradition” Approach
    The WILLIAMSBURG brand takes a “Trend-Meets-Tradition” approach to home décor inspired by the extensive design archive of the not-for-profit Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Fusing the best of American craftsmanship with international influences that accented homes of the era, WILLIAMSBURG offers a fresh take on 18th-century design, reimagining classic elements for today’s lifestyles. GARDEN IMAGES Highlighted by a magnificent watercolor painted by Georg Ehret in 1737, this botanical design captures the natural ambience of gardens in Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area. The large magnolia blossoms, flowering dogwood, and occasional butterfly are shown in multiple colors on a lightly textured field which mimics fine linen or, in one instance, cloth of gold. Six variations include cream ground with green, blue, and beige, brown ground with deep pinks and blue-greens, a charcoal ground with purples and ochres. There is also a distinctive metallic gold ground enhanced by plum accents. Dickinson Trellis or Amelia Stripe would make a handsome partner. TAUNTON TEXTURE During the 18th- century, Taunton, England, was a center for the manufacture of woolen broadcloth. This wall paper, named for that city, bears a similarity. The textured background looks like woven cloth, while vertical and horizontal faux slubs mimic the appearance and feel of earlier fabrics made from nubby hand-spun yarns. This pattern, in five palettes including beige with taupe and white, or light and medium grey with cream, offers a subtle complement to many other designs in the WILLIAMSBURG collection. For example, use with Dinwiddie Damask or with John Rocque’s London Map, circa 1740s, Mural.

  • The Dual and Dueling Narrative Voices in the Sovereignty and Goodness of God and the Narrative of Robert Adams,” Intersections 11, No
    intersections online Volume 11, Number 1 (Summer 2010) Brandon Weaver, ““As he wounded me with one hand, so he healed me with the other”: The Dual and Dueling Narrative Voices in The Sovereignty and Goodness of God and The Narrative of Robert Adams,” intersections 11, no. 1 (2010): 116-125. ABSTRACT While 17th and 18th century captivity narratives depict captivity in the content they describe, several narratives exhibit a kind of narrative captivity as well. In both Mary Rowlandson’s The sovereignty and goodness of God and Robert Adam’s The narrative of Robert Adams the captive’s ability to narrate their story is disrupted by the interests of those sponsoring the narrative - leading to dual and dueling voices throughout the text. This essay is an examination of the relationship between these conflicting voices. I argue that in both cases within the text, the sponsor’s interests take precedent over the experience of the captive, evidencing a complex power relationship grounded on various social, political and economic factors. Through an analysis of the relationship between these conflicting voices, I attempt to explicate the underlying ideologies that that make such a conflict possible. Finally, by comparing the shift in these ideologies across the two texts, I argue there is a corresponding shift in geo-economic policy that demonstrates an increasingly imperialistic disposition. http://depts.washington.edu/chid/intersections_Summer_2010/Brandon_Weaver_The_Dual_and_Dueling_Narrative_Voices.pdf Fair Use Notice: The images within this article are provided for educational and informational purposes.

  • 104 the Trial of Anne Hutchinson, 1637
    104 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2013 The Trial of Anne Hutchinson, 1637 105 Sex and Sin: The Historiography of Women, Gender, and Sexuality in Colonial Massachusetts SANDRA SLATER Abstract: Historians have long examined the powerful events that shaped the Massachusetts Bay in the colonial period, in part because the vast array of source material available for study, but more importantly, due to the enigmatic personalities who wrote those materials. Scholars of economics, politics, and theology all present differing explanations and descriptions of colonial Massachusetts, but it has only been in the last forty years that scholars have begun to think of the colonists as individuals. The advent of various civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s as well as the social turn in history, an increased focus on the histories of ordinary people and their experiences, questioned traditionally masculine and white-privileged histories by asking about everyone else. Women’s and gender studies and the even more recent studies of sexualities and queer history offer a valuable window through which to view and understand daily life. This article surveys gender histories of colonial Massachusetts, revolutionary works that uncover and discuss the lives of colonial people as gendered beings. Sandra Slater, an assistant professor of history at the College of Charleston, co-edited the collection Gender and Sexuality in Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 41 (1), Winter 2013 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 106 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2013 Indigenous North America, 1400-1850 (University of South Carolina Press, 2011).† * * * * * For decades, historians of colonial America focused their attention on the writings of John Cotton, Increase Mather, Cotton Mather, John Winthrop, and other leading male colonial figures, constructing a narrative of colonial Massachusetts that ignored the influences and contributions of women and racial minorities.

  • WOMEN's WRITING in the BRITISH ATLANTIC WORLD: Memory, Place
    This page intentionally left blank WOMEN’S WRITING IN THE BRITISH ATLANTIC WORLD Kate Chedgzoy explores the ways in which women writers of the early modern British Atlantic world imagined, visited, created and haunted textual sites of memory. Asking how women’s writing from all parts of the British Isles and Britain’s Atlantic colonies employed the resources of memory to make sense of the changes that were refashioning that world, the book suggests that memory is itself the textual site where the domestic echoes of national crisis can most insistently be heard. Offering readings of the work of poets who contributed to the oral traditions of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, alongside analyses of poetry, fiction and life-writings by well-known and less familiar writers such as Hester Pulter, Lucy Hutchinson, Mary Rowlandson and Aphra Behn, the book explores how women’s writing of memory gave expression to the everyday, intimate consequences of the major geopolitical changes that took place in the British Atlantic world in the seventeenth century. Telling a story about women’s textual production which is geographically and linguistically expansive and inclusive, it offers an unprecedently capacious and diverse history of early modern British women’s writing as it began to take its place in a new Atlantic world. kate chedgzoy is Professor of Renaissance Literature at the University of Newcastle. She is the author of Shakespeare’s Queer Children: Sexual Politics and Contemporary Culture (1996), and co-editor with Susanne Greenhalgh of a special issue of the journal Shakespeare on Shakespeare’s incorporation into the cultures of childhood (2006).

  • Mary Rowlandson's Journey to Redemption ANN STANFORD Ior
    Mary Rowlandson's Journey to Redemption ANN STANFORD iOR those who adopted the Calvinistic doctrine of salvation and damnation, there was no place in be- x tween. The individual was a saint or a sinner, his redemption or punishment ordained by God for all time. The American Puritans with their penchant for allegory found it easy to transfer the sharp division between the saved and the damned into the world around them. To them, the European settlements and clearings were plainly the places where Saints might live; the dark, uncleared forests were inhabited by those who had not yet had the chance to embrace Christianity, perhaps because they had been chosen for damnation anyhow. As Cotton Mather said: "We know not when or how these Indians first became inhabitants of this mighty continent yet we may guess that probably the Devil decoyed these miserable savages hither, in hope that the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ would never come to destroy or disturb his absolute empire over them." In the settlements at the edge of the forest a double battle went on — the struggle for salvation within the souls of men and women and the struggle for the conquest of the wilderness, often through conflict between the native tribes and the English settlers. The conflict between Indian and settler did not often break out into open war. Often the two cultures lived side by side for decades with only minor and limited hostilities. The peace be• tween the people of Massasoit and those of William Brad• ford lasted until the deaths of those two leaders.

  • Palampore Palampore
    Palampore Palampore Named after lustrous Indian painted fabric panels, Palampore combines exotic Indienne-inspired and indigenous designs in two coordinating collections of fabrics and wallcoverings. The love affair with these decorated cloths became a European sensation in the 17th century as the vivid dying techniques were highly sought after and cotton was considered a luxury fabric for bedcovers. Patterns in these collections include tree of life elements – influenced by traditional palampore textiles – Jacobean flowers, unique leaf and paisley motifs, decorative small-scale designs and printed paperweaves, as well as a playful tiger, tribal and batik prints, that naturally complement the fabrics.
