A PASSION FOR PURITY: ELLICE HOPKINS AND THE POLITICS OF GENDER IN THE LATE-VICTORIAN CHURCH SUSAN ELIZABETH MORGAN A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of PhD in the Faculty of Arts, Department of Theology and Religious Studies, April, 1997. ABSTRACT Gender analysis is at the forefront of scholarly interest in religious studies and history. As yet, however, little attempt has been made to synthesize the insights of each field. This thesis contends that the late-Victorian movement for social purity provides an illustrative example of how religion, in both its institutional and popular forms, has operated historically as a major site of the production of gender knowledge. The thesis has a double axis. First, a recovery of the life and work of the Anglo-Catholic spinster Jane Ellice Hopkins (1836-1904), whose significance as a religious and moral theorist has been entirely overlooked. Second, the promotion of British religion and gender history as an academic area of research. Churchwomen were prominent contributors to the articulation of prescriptive moral norms of femininity and masculinity in the 1880s and 1890s. I examine Hopkins' activism within the context of a vibrant female purity culture, in order to depict the way in which considerations of gender can enhance our understanding of late nineteenth- century church history, and equally, how sustained attention to religion as a major historical variable can significantly revise our existing picture of feminist campaigns surrounding sexual morality. The thesis is divided into four parts. In Part 1, I outline the theoretical complexities in the construction of religion and gender history, and suggest future directions for research by critically analysing a range of existing methodological paradigms. Part 2 outlines Hopkins' background and career details and establishes the historical origins and context of the social purity movement. Detailed textual analyses of Hopkins' purity pamphlets through which she formulated her constructions of female and male sexuality comprise Part 3 of the study. Finally, in Part 4, I conclude with an exploration of the late-Victorian debates surrounding marriage and the family, and demonstrate Hopkins' remarkable creativity as a radical woman theologian. DECLARATION This thesis represents my own work on "Ellice Hopkins and the Politics of Gender in the Late-Victorian Church", under the supervision of Professor Ursula King in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. The views contained in this thesis are the views of the author and not those of either the Department or the University. Ss- cct Susan Elizabeth Morgan. ACKNOWLED GMENTS I would like first and foremost to thank Professor Ursula King who has managed, as ever, to combine warm support and encouragement with rigorous critical supervision in the preparation of this thesis. Her sound judgment and unfailing instinct for detecting the inaccurate or ambiguous have been invaluable. I am grateful for funding from the British Academy and the Ecclesiastical History Society without which this project could not have been completed. I also thank the staffs of the following libraries where I conducted my research: the University of Bristol Library, the British Library, the Fawcett Library, Lambeth Palace Library, Brighton City Library and the Church of England Record Centre. The emotional support and intellectual stimulation of friends and colleagues has assisted the progress of this thesis considerably. In particular I would like to thank Christine Alexander, Dr. Andrew Bradstock, David Carpenter, Judith Cefalas, Professor Anthony Fletcher, Dr. Sean Gill, Laura Lauer, Dr. Stuart Mews, Dr. Melissa Raphael, my mother Angela Stewart-Sliwinski and Micky Warmingham. It was with great solemnity and no small amount of relief that my children watched me type the final sentence of this thesis. I owe the greatest thanks and deepest gratitude to Rebecca, David and Tom who have steadfastly supported "mum's work" throughout, despite the corresponding lack of time and attention given to their own individual concerns. This thesis is dedicated to the memory 0/Kathy Keay, student, poet and a irue woman of the spirit. CONTENTS UST OF ABBREVIATIONS 5 INTRODUCI'ION 6 PART ONE.

Anti-abortion campaigner Bernadette Smyth was among many in the the courtroom for the hearing Northern Ireland abortion law can be challenged, court rules The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has won High Court permission to challenge abortion law in Northern Ireland. Irish Times - A judge in Belfast has granted leave to seek a judicial review amid claims the current near-blanket ban on terminations is a violation of human rights. [email protected] Page !1 February 2 “This case raises issues of considerable public importance which require to be examined at a substantive hearing,” Mr Justice Treacy said. The commission issued proceedings against the Department of Justice as part of an attempt to secure a change in the law to allow abortion in cases of rape, incest or serious foetal malformation. Terminations are currently only legal in Northern Ireland to protect the woman’s life or where there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to her mental or physical health. The court battle comes as Minister for Justice David Ford continues a public consultation on amending the criminal law on abortion in Northern Ireland. It includes a recommendation for proposed legislation allowing an abortion in circumstances where there is no prospect of the foetus being delivered and having a viable life. But according to counsel for the commission the consultation does not commit to making the changes it believes are necessary.

  • Call for Proposals: Ian Ramsey Centre Studies in Science and Religion
    Call for Proposals : Ian Ramsey Centre Studies in Science and Religion Oxford University Press and the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at Oxford University are pleased to announce a new series of original academic works with a specifi c focus o n the increasingly important field of science and religion. The Ian Ramsey Centre Studies in Science and Religion will initially take the form of a series of between six and nine works to be commissioned over the next six years. The series will be edited by Alister McGrath, Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, and Director of the Ian Ramsey Centre. Dr Andrew Pinsent, the Centre’s Director of Resea rch, serves as Managing Editor for the series , which is intended to encourage and exte nd original research in the field of science and religion, and disseminate its ideas and findings. Works will typically be in the range of 70,000 – 80,000 words, although longer works may be considered if the add itional length can be justified in terms of its academic impact. It is expected that t he series will consist largely of academic monographs by established scholars, and will deal primarily with scholarly engagement with the “big questions” in the field of science and religion. Pote ntial contributors to this series are asked to ensure that their approaches have the potential for impact on global discussion of such questions, while retaining the highest standards of academic excellence and originality . It is not envisaged that doctoral theses will be included in the series.

'DESCRIPTORS Black Attitudes; Black Employment; Black History; *Black Leadership; Black Organizations; *Blacks; *Females; *Racial Discrimination; *Racial Relations; Slavery; United States History; *Whites ABSTRACT In spite of lack of support from white women, educated black women concentrated their efforts on better conditions for the uneducated and the poorer among them during the late 19th century. Their primary concerns were education and employment opportunities, suffrage, the defense of black female morality, and the condemnation of lynching. The philosophy of black female leaders was that they received their education for theelevation of the race. They believed in the moral superiority of women, that the degraded state of the black race was a result of the degraded state ofits women, and that only thro.Igh the actions ofblack women would their lot improve. Few white women were supportive of.black causes. Even suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton pladed color, above principle in \an attempt to gain support of southern white women. Thus, black women either formedorganizations such as the National AssociatiOn of Colored Women or worked independently on behalf of their rade, often condemning the actions and attitudes of white women. Although the 20th century saw an increased interracial cooperation among women, distrust of white women still prevailed.
