DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture. -

This dissertation has been 62—769 microfilmed exactly as received GABEL, John Butler, 1931- THE TUDOR TRANSLATIONS OF CICERO'S DE OFFICIIS. The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1961 Language and Literature, modern University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE TUDOR TRANSLATIONS OP CICERO'S DE OFFICIIS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By John Butler Gabel, B. A., M. A., A. M. ****** The Ohio State University 1961 Approved by Adviser Department of Ehglis7 PREFACE The purpose of this dissertation is to throw light on the sixteenth-century English translations of De Offioiis, one of Cicero’s most popular and most influential works. The dissertation first surveys the history and reputation of the Latin treatise to I600 and sketchs the lives of the English translators. It then establishes the facts of publication of the translations and identifies the Latin texts used in them. Finally it analyzes the translations themselves— their syntax, diction, and English prose style in general— against the background of the theory and prac tice of translation in their respective periods. I have examined copies of the numerous editions of the translations in the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Library of Congress, and the libraries of the Ohio State University and the University of Illinois. I have also made use of films of copies in the British Museum and the Huntington Library. I have indicated the location of the particular copies upon which the bibliographical descrip tions in Chapter 3 are based. -

Pastoral Poetry of the English Renaissance Religious
Introduction Pastoral is one of the few literary modes whose genesis can be clearly traced. While poems reworking pristine rustic experience might have existed earlier, the pastoral mode as now recognized originated with the Greek poet Theocritus in the third century BCE. More correctly put, Theocritus provided a model that others followed to create the mode. There were few ‘others’ in Hellenistic Greece. A handful of poems, only one or two authentically pastoral, have been ascribed (often doubtfully) to two poets, Bion and Moschus. Of Theocritus’ own thirty idylls (‘little pictures’ or ‘sketches’, often of doubtful authorship), only twelve are pastoral. What set the seal on the mode was its adoption by Virgil in the first century BCE, in ten poems sometimes closely imitating Theocritus. These selections (eclogae) from his early work have lent the name ‘eclogue’ to the typical pastoral poem of moderate length and varied subject-matter, often incor- porating an inset song or song-contest. Virgil too had few followers in classical times – only two minor poets, Calpurnius and Nemesianus. But his immense stature as the pre-eminent Latin poet, continuing through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, set before every aspiring poet the career-pattern of the ‘Virgilian cycle’, moving from pastoral to didactic poems on farming (the Georgics) and finally to martial and courtly epic in the Aeneid. This was also held to reflect the course of human civilization. From the late Middle Ages, the Virgilian eclogue became a dominant poetic genre. There was another reason for this. Theocritus’ idylls had presented, if in somewhat idealized and sometimes mythicized form, the life of actual shepherds in Cos and Sicily. -
The Pastoral Field: Local Ecologies in Early Modern Literature
The Pastoral Field: Local Ecologies in Early Modern Literature Elizabeth Katherine McIntosh Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Elizabeth Katherine McIntosh All Rights Reserved Abstract The Pastoral Field: Local Ecologies in Early Modern Literature Elizabeth K. McIntosh “The Pastoral Field: Local Ecologies in Early Modern Literature” excavates the ways in which pastoral literature registers the role nature-human interaction played in shaping protracted struggles over land use and ownership, and in the degradation and improvement of natural landscapes. Revising a longstanding critical tradition that understands early modern pastoral as primarily allegorical, the project instead insists that the form can also accommodate topical thinking about regional ecologies. Shifting the emphasis away from the Elizabethan court towards local agricultural politics, it unearths the ways in which natural crises such as flooding, famine, sheep rot, and soil degradation hastened processes of agricultural improvement and enclosure—and how those processes were in turn mediated, counter-factually imagined, and actively promoted within the literary devices of pastoral. Each of my four chapters locates pastoral plays, poems, romances, and country- house entertainments in the particular landscapes that shaped their development— landscapes that were, in turn, reconfigured by the literary and political -

Reconstructing Literary Life in the Provinces with Special Reference to the Elizabethan Gentry of Kent
Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 129 2009 RECONSTRUCTING LITERARY LIFE IN THE PROVINCES WITH SpECIAL REFERENCE TO THE ElIZABETHAN GENTRY OF KENT CLAIRE BARTRAM This article begins to reconstruct the nature of book culture in Kent during the latter decades of the sixteenth century. Its focus is the early printed and manuscript writings of members of the gentry in Kent and as such it endeavours to extend discussion on this social group as consumers of book culture by charting their active participation in textual production. The article is not designed to be an exhaustive survey of writers and patrons in the county but rather an initial exploration of the various ways in which what Margaret Ezell has termed ‘the nature of literary life in the provinces’ could be examined and partially reconstructed.1 The literary lives of the provincial gentry in the sixteenth century is not a fashionable topic, it seems; although valuable studies proliferate on the seventeenth century.2 While single author studies do exist, few works engage with provincial coteries or networks of writers; to this author’s knowledge the only comparable regional study remains A.G. Dickens’ 1963 article on the ‘The Writers of Tudor Yorkshire’.3 There may be good reason for this – Kent and Yorkshire may be exceptional examples of counties where authors proliferated; or the county may be an irrelevant unit of analysis when we consider the ways in which cultural neighbourhoods or patronage networks redefine county boundaries in this period.4 However, in discussing literary lives in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Ezell laments that few studies have engaged with ‘the author’s experience of writing in the material conditions of the times’ or have ‘paid much attention to the practical impact of an author being born and raised’ in a particular place. -

The Poetics of Early Modern English Apocalyptic Hispanophobia By
“What if this present were the world’s last night?”: The Poetics of Early Modern English Apocalyptic Hispanophobia By José Juan Villagrana A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor James Grantham Turner, Chair Professor Emilie L. Bergmann Professor David Marno Professor David Landreth Spring 2017 1 ABSTRACT “What if this present were the world’s last night?”: The Poetics of Early Modern English Apocalyptic Hispanophobia by José Juan Villagrana Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor James Grantham Turner, Chair My project on early modern Anglo-Spanish literary relations and apocalyptic thought, “‘What if this present were the world’s last night?’: The Poetics of Early Modern English Apocalyptic Hispanophobia,” posits a new model of Renaissance cultural transmission and reception. Against the pressure, then and now, to treat English and Spanish literary cultures as fundamentally incompatible outside the context of imperial rivalry, I recover a deceptively familiar discursive mode operating in both Protestant and Catholic Reformations—apocalypse—to highlight how the English apocalyptic imagination redefined its national literary canon by producing unexpected trans-national cultural formulations. In a time when England saw its national identity and its political future tied to the outcome of its military rivalry with Spain, English authors cast their nationalist Hispanophobia in increasingly apocalyptic terms. By “apocalypse” I mean two things: the first is the theological discourse on the “last things”—death, resurrection, judgement, heaven, and hell; the second is the realignment of the temporal and spiritual order of things as they approached a cataclysmic end-point. -
