  • Centre for Material Texts Annual Report 2014-15 Introduction The
    centre for material texts annual report 2014-15 introduction The Cambridge Centre for Material Texts was constituted by the English Faculty Board in July 2009 to push forward critical, theoretical, editorial and bibliographical work in an increasingly lively field of humanities research. Addressing a huge range of textual phenomena and traversing disciplinary boundaries that are rarely breached by day-to-day teaching and research, the Centre fosters the development of new perspectives, practices and technologies, which will transform our understanding of the way that texts of many kinds have been embodied and circulated. This report summarizes the activities of the Centre in its sixth year. 2014-15 was a comparatively quiet year for the Centre, which meant that it was extremely rather than exceptionally busy. The History of Material Texts Seminar welcomed a lively mix of internationally renowned scholars and early-career academics; among many other things, we got a sneak preview of materials that William Zachs was preparing to use in his 2015 Rosenbach lectures in Philadelphia, and a foretaste from Leslie James of issues at stake in a conference on ‘Print Media in the Colonial World’ held at CRASSH in April 2015. The Medieval Palaeography Workshop, now in its fourth year, was joined by a series of seminars on Editing the Long Nineteenth Century. The CMT was among the sponsors of a one-day colloquium on Early Modern Visual Marginalia, and put together an exhibition in the Cambridge University Library in May 2015 which helped to publicize this and other recent research activities. A number of members of the Centre were involved in the major UL exhibition on Private Lives of Print: The Use and Abuse of Books 1450-1550, and contributed to the catalogue edited by Ed Potten and Emily Dourish.

  • The Reformation of the Generations: Age, Ancestry and Memory in England 1500-1700
    The Reformation of the Generations: Age, Ancestry and Memory in England 1500-1700 Folger Shakespeare Library Spring Semester Seminar 2016 Alexandra Walsham (University of Cambridge): [email protected] The origins, impact and repercussions of the English Reformation have been the subject of lively debate. Although it is now widely recognised as a protracted process that extended over many decades and generations, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the links between the life cycle and religious change. Did age and ancestry matter during the English Reformation? To what extent did bonds of blood and kinship catalyse and complicate its path? And how did remembrance of these events evolve with the passage of the time and the succession of the generations? This seminar will investigate the connections between the histories of the family, the perception of the past, and England’s plural and fractious Reformations. It invites participants from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to explore how the religious revolutions and movements of the period shaped, and were shaped by, the horizontal relationships that early modern people formed with their sibilings, relatives and peers, as well as the vertical ones that tied them to their dead ancestors and future heirs. It will also consider the role of the Reformation in reconfiguring conceptions of memory, history and time itself. Schedule: The seminar will convene on Fridays 1-4.30pm, for 10 weeks from 5 February to 29 April 2016, excluding 18 March, 1 April and 15 April. In keeping with Folger tradition, there will be a tea break from 3.00 to 3.30pm.

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-84332-4 - Angels in the Early Modern World Edited by Peter Marshall and Alexandra Walsham Excerpt More information 1 Migrations of angels in the early modern world peter marshall and alexandra walsham Seen and unseen, in heaven and on the earth, in image and in text, angels have persistently infiltrated the cultural imagination of western and near- eastern civilisation for more than two millennia. Modern popular culture in North America and (particularly) western Europe may have discarded much of its foundational Christian heritage, but it retains an almost visceral understanding of the potency of images of angelic care and protection. Yet even in academic discussions, parts of this enduring tenancy are much better understood than others. In both popular and scholarly perceptions, angels are often taken to exemplify the religion and culture of the Middle Ages, the period when theologians were supposed to have wasted their time debating how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.1 Historians are now less inclined to scoff than once they were: a thriving scholarly literature is demonstrating how attention to the form, function and nature of angels illuminatedarangeofontologicalandepistemologicalquestionsforthinkers in the apostolic, patristic and medieval eras.2 1 Although frequently attributed to Rabelais, the first traceable reference to this parody in print appears to be William Chillingsworth, The religion of protestants a safe way to salvation (Oxford, 1638), preface (‘whether a million angels might not sit upon a needle’s point’). Despite what was later believed, Thomas Aquinas did not pose the famous conundrum, though he did question whether more than one angel might occupy the same space: Summa theologica, trans.

  • Acknowledgements
    acknowledGemenTs in THeory, the pool of intellectual debt ought to shrink with each new book, as one grows older and more independent. In my experience, the opposite has been the case. As you get older, you get less shy about asking for help and you venture further into terrain where you depend on the guidance of oth‑ ers. This book could not have been written without the en‑ couragement, conversation, and advice of many friends and colleagues. Special thanks go to the following, who read all or part of the manuscript and offered detailed comments and stimulating suggestions: Deborah Baker, David Barclay, Peter Burke, Marcus Colla, Amitav Ghosh, Oliver Haardt, Charlotte Johann, Duncan Kelly, Jürgen Luh, Annika Seemann, John Thompson, Adam Tooze, Alexandra Walsham, and Waseem Yaqoob. As then‑anonymous reviewers for Princeton Univer‑ sity Press, François Hartog, Jürgen Osterhammel, and Andy Rabinbach made enormously helpful comments on the man‑ uscript. Nora Berend, Francisco de Bethencourt, Tim Blan‑ ning, Annabel Brett, Matthew Champion, Kate Clark, Allegra Fryxell, Alexander Geppert, Beatrice de Graaf, Paul Hartle, Ulrich Herbert, Shruti Kapila, Hans‑Christof Kraus, Jona‑ than Lamb, Rose Melikan, Bridget Orr, Anna Ross, Kevin Rudd, Magnus Ryan, Martin Sabrow, and Quentin Skinner all offered precious advice on specific issues or passages of text. Nina Lübbren’s writing and thinking about time and nar‑ rative in art have shaped the book in many ways. Josef and Alexander, once happy distractions from the work of writing, have grown into thoughtful conversation partners whose in‑ sights nudged me through various bottlenecks.
