  • Wabuda on Diarmaid Macculloch, 'The Reformation' and Macculloch, 'The Reformation: a History'
    H-Albion Wabuda on Diarmaid MacCulloch, 'The Reformation' and MacCulloch, 'The Reformation: A History' Review published on Tuesday, November 1, 2005 Diarmaid MacCulloch. The Reformation. New York: Viking Press, 2003. xxiv + 792 pp. Diarmaid MacCulloch. The Reformation: A History. New York: Viking, 2003. xxiv + 750 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-670-03296-9; $20.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-14-303538-1. Reviewed by Susan Wabuda (Department of History, Fordham University) Published on H-Albion (November, 2005) Reformation Resurgens The Reformation was such a startling break in the cultural and political fabric of Europe that it has often had to be understood in slices. So vast in its consequences, historians and theologians have frequently chosen to explore it in terms of their own discreet specialties. The lives and writings of its leaders, and the efforts of its opponents, have been examined in countless works. Nearly every religious affiliation has used it to focus on its own history, until the Reformation has sometimes seemed like a hostage to denominational studies. To explore the entire breadth of the Reformation without partiality or favor, to come to grips with the challenges of source material that stretches across several linguistic boundaries, and to deal with the historiographical and denominational issues of interpretation, are all enormous tasks. In The Reformation, Diarmaid MacCulloch has written a superb, nuanced account of what he terms "the greatest fault line to appear in Christian culture since the Latin and Greek halves of the Roman Empire went their separate ways a thousand years before" (p. xviii). As an editor of The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, one of the premier quarterlies in the field, MacCulloch is well placed to survey that fault line through the latest scholarly trends.

  • Winner of the Wolfson History Prize 2017 Announced
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release Monday 15 May 2017 WINNER OF THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE 2017 ANNOUNCED The winner of this year’s Wolfson History Prize, awarded for excellence in accessible and scholarly history, has been announced as Dr Christopher de Hamel for his book Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts. De Hamel, who receives the £40,000 prize, is Fellow and former librarian of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He was one of six authors shortlisted for the Prize earlier this year. Awarded annually by the Wolfson Foundation for over forty years, the Wolfson History Prize has become synonymous with celebrating outstanding history. Established in 1972, it has awarded more than £1.1 million in recognition of the best historical writing being produced in the UK, reflecting qualities of both readability and excellence in writing and research. Sir David Cannadine, Chair of the Prize Judges, said: “Christopher de Hamel's outstanding and original book pushes the boundaries of what it is and what it means to write history. By framing each manuscript of which he writes as the story of his own personal encounter with it, he leads the reader on many unforgettable journeys of discovery and learning. Deeply imaginative, beautifully written, and unfailingly humane, Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts distils a lifelong love of these astonishing historical treasures, which the author brings so vividly to life. It is a masterpiece.” About the Prize-winning book: Part travel book, part detective story, part conversation with the reader, Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts conveys the fascination and excitement of encountering some of the greatest works of art in our culture which, in the originals, are to most people completely inaccessible.

  • Memory in Early Modern England
    Part II Special Subject C Memory in Early Modern England Prof. Alex Walsham ([email protected]) Overview Without memory, we could not write History. But memory itself has a history. This Special Subject investigates one segment of that history in the context of sixteenth- and seventeenth- century England. By contrast with medievalists and modernists, early modernists have been slow to investigate how the arts of remembering and forgetting were implicated in and affected by the profound religious, political, intellectual, cultural, and social upheavals of the period. However, there is now a growing surge of exciting and stimulating research on this topic. Its relevance and centrality to key historiographical debates and its capacity to shed fresh light on classic questions regarding one of the most tumultuous eras in English history are increasingly being recognised. Set against the backdrop of the profound ruptures of the Reformation, Civil Wars, and the constitutional revolution of 1688, this Paper seeks to explore how individuals and communities understood and practised memory alongside the ways in which it was exploited and harnessed, divided and fractured, by the unsettling developments through which contemporaries lived and in which they actively participated. It assesses the role played by amnesia and oblivion, nostalgia and commemoration, in facilitating change and in negotiating the legacies it left. Students will be exposed to a wide range of primary sources – from chronicles, diaries, histories, memoirs and compilations of folklore to legal depositions, pictures, maps, buildings, funeral monuments and material objects – that afford insight into the culture and transmutations of early modern memory. Sessions in the Michaelmas Term will explore contemporary perceptions and practices of memory.

  • Book Review Christianity: the First Three Thousand Years, By
    Book Review Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, by Diarmaid MacCulloch. New York, Viking, 2009. 1161 +vii pp. $45 The front pages of The New York Times Book Review is not at all the usual place that one first encounters a thousand plus page book on the history of Christianity. In a review written by the editor of Newsweek , which reported more on his thinking than his reading, the world was given what was clearly an announcement of a favored book that would be on the shelves of Barnes and Noble the next day. Books like this rarely get that treatment. Once one realizes, however, that its author was the host of a six part television series on the subject produced by BBC last fall, the interconnections of the large scale, for-profit, left- hand-always-knows-what-the-right-hand-is-doing media become clear; one starts to understand how this project escaped the confines of the world of university press publishing. But with that revelation made, it is then somewhat of a pleasant surprise to find out how serious and respectable an undertaking this book really is. It is decidedly not the typical non-scholarly presentation of Christian history written with an eye towards sensationalizing that history or using it to pay tribute to the contemporary idols of the tribe. It is not an attempt to give the world “the real story.” It is a monumental and thoroughly researched book that is written with a professional scholar’s expertise. It is, for the most part, written in a crisp, open style that moves the reader along the many paths and many, many side paths of Christian history.

What follows is a description of the viewpoints of three recent historians—A. G. Dickens, Eamon Duffy and Diarmaid MacCul- loch—in regard to aspects of the Reformation in England. Though their stud- ies overlap, the three offer differing interpretations of the English Refor- mation, the latter two considered to be—in varying degree—revisionist against the first. The purpose of focusing on Dickens, Duffy and MacCulloch is to highlight the difference of opinions each has in relation to one another, to the late Middle Ages and the reception of the Reformation. Due to the influence of Dickens‟ work, the theme addressed in the early part of his book regarding late-medieval religion in England will inform the basic structure of this essay. This is a subject to which Duffy responds and thus warrants closer examination. Therefore this essay will address the na- ture of medieval England before the Reformation and the question of whether the country, both politically and popularly, was ready for change. If so, why and what kind of change did they need? Was the ecclesiastical system so cor- rupt and the religion so superstitious that the people were ready for a new establishment? How influential were heretical groups like the Lollards in set- ting the stage for eventual change? A.
