How does one put into words the boundless gratitude to the people and organizations that have made this book possible? Still, I must try. This dissertation simply would not have been possible without the patience, encouragement, and guidance of Dr. Thomas Cogswell. In addition to pointing me in the direction of the most delightful and scandalous sources in early modern England, Tom’s help and advice helped me craft the larger argument and his laughter at the content fueled my drive. Thanks to Tom I will eternally move “onward and upward.” I owe Dr. Randolph Head a great deal for his unending support, his uncanny ability to help me see the narrative flow and the bigger picture, and his dogmatic attention to questions of historical practice. Without Dr. Patricia Fumerton I would be lost. Her own work with ballads helped me to make sense of the rabbit’s hole in which I found myself. She also graciously granted me permission to quote her forthcoming book Moving Media, Tactical Publics: The Broadside Ballad in Early Modern England, to be published by the University of Pennsylvania Press. Simply put, Dr. Joseph Ward inspired me to start this labor of love. Dr. Marc Lerner and Dr. Jeffrey Watt gave me some of the most needed support at the most pressing moment of my life, and they taught me to love history for all of its weirdness and wonder. Dr. Susan Grayzel is who I aspire to be. I am indebted to the University of California-Riverside Graduate Division and History Department for their untiring administrative and generous financial support. UCR taught me how to be a better historian and showed me how to be an even better instructor. iv To Drs. Lynda Bell, Jonathan Eacott, David Gehring, and Vanessa Wilkie, thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience the vicissitudes of teaching. The administrative staff of the UCR History Department—Susan Komura, Iselda Salgado, Deisy Escobedo, and Alesha Jaennette—is unbelievably patient and helped me navigate my way through the entire doctoral process. My research and life experiences were also supported by the assistance of The Huntington Library and The William Andrews Clark Library. While in residence at these two institutions, I had the good fortune to deliver my first conference paper, attend my first colloquia, and engage in an interdisciplinary, bi-continental research group to study “Things: Material Cultures of the Long Eighteenth Century.” In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Steve Hindle for taking me under his wing in a moment of doubt, Scott Jacobs for helping me navigate manuscript research while feeding me chocolate cake (not at the same time), and Drs. Adriana Craciun and Simon Schaffer for their organization of “The Material Cultures of Knowledge, 1600-1830” through the University of California Multi-campus Research Group and Cambridge’s Centre for Research in Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities. The phenomenal people I met and the conversations I enjoyed are too numerous to mention. I could fill a hundred more pages with just the names of the people I would like to thank for these experiences. I will always cherish the libraries and archives I visited in the course of completing this research. The work of librarians and archivists is so important, and I thank them all, but a few librarians cannot go unnamed: Mark Bainbridge, Assistant Head Library at Worcester College, Oxford, Allee Monheim formerly of the Huntington Library, and Diane Shepelwich at the University of Texas-Arlington; thank you. v The successful completion of this long journey is due to the love, comradeship, and support of my friends and family. I need to specifically thank Audrey Uffner-Lau, Heather Van Mouwerik, Stephen Teske, Jordan Downs, Rachel Purvis, Stephanie McKnight, Amanda Snyder, and Catherine Chou; I cherish you all. To my parents, Mom, Dad, and Micki, thank you for being proud of me. To my grandparents, James and Jewel Davidson, thank you for believing in me. Lastly, but certainly not least, to Lee Johnson, our entire journey has been defined by this endeavor. You have helped me in so many ways that to list them would be an injustice, because I know I would forget something. To all that you are and all that you do, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I cannot wait to start a new chapter in our lives. vi DEDICATION To Rohan and Mia, Keep being amazing humans. vii ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Poetick Rage” to Rage of Party: English Political Verse, 1678-1685 by Leanna Hope McLaughlin Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, December 2018 Dr. Thomas Cogswell, Chairperson This dissertation examines the development of English partisanship and political culture from 1678-85 through the lens of political poetry and song. Verses enabled the creation of modern political parties and well-informed public spheres by aiding communication of partisan ideologies throughout the population of England. Historians of Britain have often underutilized this media format, but by exploring the competing narratives poets created, we can better understand what mobilized the population to engage in partisan activity. For two decades of Charles II’s reign, court factions jockeyed for power through highly sexualized manuscript satirical verse. But in 1678, the transformation of political factions into political parties began when explosive claims of a Popish Plot provoked a political crisis in Parliament. In the ensuing legislative upheaval surrounding Exclusion, the Licensing Act, which ensured prepublication censorship of print, lapsed quite unintentionally. The newly created Whig and Tory parties’ ideological platforms developed as they increasingly took to printed political verse to gain public support for their cause and denigrate their opponents. Both parties used libelous and seditious viii rhetoric in political verse to comment on and inform the populace of the affairs of state. Concerned with the growing unrest, the government fought back in the same medium and challenged local authority when it neglected to prosecute radical rhetoric. Upon succession in 1685, James II directed his Parliament to reinstitute the Licensing Act. Despite trying to use verse to craft the narrative in his favor, political verse and song ushered James out in the Revolution of 1688. Ultimately this dissertation will reveal that poetry and verse aided in the emergence of public spheres through the power of an unchecked press, and helped foster a skeptical populace, who became alert to potential challenges to political sovereignty. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................. iv Dedication .............................................................................................................................. vii Abstract ................................................................................................................................. viii Table of Contents ..................................................................................................................... x List of Abbreviations............................................................................................................. xii Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 1 I.

  • The Sun King and the Merry Monarch
    The Sun King and the Merry 1678 Monarch Explores the religious backdrop to one of the largest threats to England's throne - the Popish Plot. Aggravated by the murder of the magistrate Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the Plot reflected religious beliefs and insecurities at the By Calum time. Sir Godfrey was my ancestor (of some 11 generations). A visit to his Johnson grave in Westminster Abbey in 2014 inspired me to explore his role in this religious turmoil which hit hard in 17th Century England... The Clergyman and the King of England Leaving for his morning stroll on the 13th of August 1678, Charles II, King of England and Defender of the Faith heard for the first time of a plot to kill him. This was far from unusual. Indeed, just months earlier, a woman in Newcastle had been subjected to a large investigation after stating, "the King deserves the curse of all good and faithful wives for his bad example”. And yet, when Mr Kirkby (his lab assistant) brought Dr Israel Tonge to him at 8 o’clock that evening, the king listened impatiently before handing the matter over to his first minister…. The Religious Pendulum: Change of Faith in England To truly examine the tumult about to hit England in the 17th Century, it is important that we look first at the Religious scene in Europe some 150 years earlier. In the previous century the Reformation began and Protestantism gathered momentum, fuelled by a desire to reduce the exuberance of the Church in Rome with its elaborate sculptures, paintings and stained-glass windows.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • Rump Ballads and Official Propaganda (1660-1663)
    Ezra’s Archives | 35 A Rhetorical Convergence: Rump Ballads and Official Propaganda (1660-1663) Benjamin Cohen In October 1917, following the defeat of King Charles I in the English Civil War (1642-1649) and his execution, a series of republican regimes ruled England. In 1653 Oliver Cromwell’s Protectorate regime overthrew the Rump Parliament and governed England until his death in 1659. Cromwell’s regime proved fairly stable during its six year existence despite his ruling largely through the powerful New Model Army. However, the Protectorate’s rapid collapse after Cromwell’s death revealed its limited durability. England experienced a period of prolonged political instability between the collapse of the Protectorate and the restoration of monarchy. Fears of political and social anarchy ultimately brought about the restoration of monarchy under Charles I’s son and heir, Charles II in May 1660. The turmoil began when the Rump Parliament (previously ascendant in 1649-1653) seized power from Oliver Cromwell’s ineffectual son and successor, Richard, in spring 1659. England’s politically powerful army toppled the regime in October, before the Rump returned to power in December 1659. Ultimately, the Rump was once again deposed at the hands of General George Monck in February 1660, beginning a chain of events leading to the Restoration.1 In the following months Monck pragmatically maneuvered England toward a restoration and a political 1 The Rump Parliament refers to the Parliament whose membership was composed of those Parliamentarians that remained following the expulsion of members unwilling to vote in favor of executing Charles I and establishing a commonwealth (republic) in 1649.

  • Henry and Robert Danvers
    32 THE BAPTIST QUARTERLY will help to build bridges between the W.C.C. and the Lausanne/Pattaya approach, and between Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox. It was a privilege to attend such a gathering, to meet such a wide range of Christian experience from all over the world, and to be the recipient of so much first-class theological thinking. I do recommend, particularly, if readers can get hold of it, Bishop John V. Taylor's address on "The Church witnesses to the Kingdom" and also Kosuke Koyama's address on "The Crucified Christ challenges Human Power" - these were undoubtedly the two finest pieces of thinking put before the conference. Raymond Fung's address "Good News to the Poor - the case for a missionary movement" is also very good value. Extracts from these addresses, together with other reports of the conference can be found in the latest issue of the International Review of Mission, Vol. LXIX (275) July 1980. Issues of I.R.M. from about mid-1978 onwards give further background to the Melbourne conference. I returned home from Melbourne with a deepened awareness of the richness and variety of the people of God, and with a renewed confidence in the power and relevance of the gospel. P.
