'-'~ HE present volume contains what is known, from his own account and from other sources, ~ of EnMIDi"l> BoHUN, a voluminous political and miscellaneous writer in the latter part of the seventeenth century. He was of a Suffolk. family; and the book is, in one view, a humble contribution to the still incomplete topography of that county. However, it is not entirely local in its bearing. The lover of the older literature meets here with one who loved it too. The student of human character may find material for thought and lessons of instruction. Now and then topics are referred to, which have long agitated and still continue to interest the world - government, freedom, protestantism, commerce, colonization. Lastly, the autobiography presents the image of one of that class of politicians whose loyalty to the Stuarts did not induce them to sympathize with the nonjurors, and may help to illustrate perhaps the most interesting period of English history. The autograph Diary occupies a hundred and fourteen pages, nearly of the size technically called foolscap octavo. It is in the possession of my friend Richard Bohun esq. of Beccles, and is printed with his sanction. A few of the diarist's letters are added-the only specimens which ha,e been discovered. I haYe preferred the plan of giving in the text a translation of that part of the diary which is written in latin; the original being inserted underneath. In general the orthography of the manuscript has been adopted; but in many instances I have followed the learned editor of Wood's' Athenre' in rejecting, as of little value, that minuteness which 'retains the mistakes of an author merely for the sake of bibliographical accuracy.' In the notes-demanding, I fear, an apology for their number and extent-will be found some account of Yr. Bohun's writings, of books which he read, of localities with which he was connected, . l"{ EDITOR'S PREFACE • and of his family and acquaintance. But chiefly in the 'Descent of the families of De :Bohun, Bohun of Fres&ngfi.eld and Westhall, Browne-Bohun, etc.' andin the 'Introductory memoir' to·which it is prefixed, must be sought what 1w been collected towards completing his biography. In the preface to his ' Character of queen Elizabeth' he says, 'If I were worthy to have my story written, or my picture drawn, I should wish they might be equally true, and represent both my life and face just such as they were.' By this injunction I am excused, and even prohi.oited, from concealing bis natural frailties, however strongly marked. Nor have I, in general, undertaken either to vindicate or to combat the opinions of the diarist: it is my province to exluoit his views and modes of thinking, not my own. It has not been my aim to produce a 'popular' book; and I am conscious that a literary monograph should manifest a mastery and precision to which I have no pretensions, and a nice adherence to the line between general statement.s and trivial details which I can scarcely hope even to have approached. I might refer to disadvantages under which I have worked. But it is more proper, and more ~o-reeable, to acknowledge the frequent, various, and kind aSfilStance without which I could have done nothing. My thanks are especially due to Dawson Turner esq., Sir Francis P~arave, Thomas William King esq. York herald, and the registrars of the ecclesiastical co~ in the diocese of Norwich; to John Bruce esq., Francis Offley :Martin esq. of Stondon place, Brentwood, the Rev. Samuel Blois Turner of Halesworth, the Rev. Alfred Suckling of Barsham, the Rev. J. F. N oott of W esthall, and WiUiam A. Wright esq. of Trinity college, Cambri<Ioo-e- Nor would I forget to name the late David Elisha Davy esq. of Ufford, to whose fine collection of materials for Suffolk history, recently deposited in the British Museum, and to the courteous liberality of their possessor I have been not a little indebted. In justice to the printers, and to the various processes employed, it should be stated that I alone am answerable for all fault.s in the illustrations. S. W. R.

    AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) Alan Mackley Blythburgh 2020 AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) INTRODUCTION Margaret Janet Becker (1904-1953) was the daughter of Harry Becker, painter of the farming community and resident in the Blythburgh area from 1915 to his death in 1928, and his artist wife Georgina who taught drawing at St Felix school, Southwold, from 1916 to 1923. Janet appears to have attended St Felix school for a while and was also taught in London, thanks to a generous godmother. A note-book she started at the age of 19 records her then as a London University student. It was in London, during a visit to Southwark Cathedral, that the sight of a recently- cleaned monument inspired a life-long interest in the subject. Through a friend’s introduction she was able to train under Professor Ernest Tristram of the Royal College of Art, a pioneer in the conservation of medieval wall paintings. Janet developed a career as cleaner and renovator of church monuments which took her widely across England and Scotland. She claimed to have washed the faces of many kings, aristocrats and gentlemen. After her father’s death Janet lived with her mother at The Old Vicarage, Wangford. Janet became a respected Suffolk historian. Her wide historical and conservation interests are demonstrated by membership of the St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocesan Advisory Committee on the Care of Churches, and she was a Council member of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History.

  • What Literature Knows: Forays Into Literary Knowledge Production
    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • Seventeenth-Century Scribal Culture and “A Dialogue Between King James and King William”
    76 THE JOURNAL OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY SCRIBAL CULTURE AND “A DIALOGUE BETWEEN KING JAMES AND KING WILLIAM” BY ERIN KELLY The latter portion of the seventeenth century saw the emergence of a number of institutions and practices whose existence we may take for granted in the modern era: the two-party parliamentary system pitted Whigs against Tories, the Royal Society formalized many aspects of empirical science, and the Stationers’ Company lost their monopoly over publication rights, effectively paving the way for modern copyright law. These changes emerged out of a tumultuous political context: England had been plunged into civil war in the middle of the century, and even the restoration of the monarchy did not entirely stifle those in parliament who opposed the monarch’s absolute power. The power struggle between the king and Parliament had a direct impact on England’s book industry: the first Cavalier Parliament of 1662 – only two years after the Restoration – revived the Licensing Act in an attempt to exercise power over what material was allowed to be printed. Through the act, the king could appoint a licenser to oversee the publication of books who could deny a license to any books thought to be objectionable.1 Roger L’Estrange, an arch-royalist, became Surveyor of the Presses, and later Licenser of the Press, and zealously exercised the power of these positions by hunting out unauthorized printing presses, suppressing seditious works, and censoring anti-monarchical texts.2 This was a dramatic change from the state of affairs prior to the Restoration, which had seen an explosion in the printing trade, when Parliament ostensibly exercised control over licensing, but did so through inconsistent laws and lax enforcement.3 The struggle between Parliament and the monarchy thus played itself out in part through a struggle for control over the censorship of the press.

Euro- peans, crowded in by their seeming lack of space and by a rigid social order, looked with longing across the ocean where space and opportunity abounded. Time and again, men critical of their own society hoped by migration to find the scope for working out their visions of a better order. Yet, in the actual coming, as likely as not, they en- countered the standing quandary of the revolutionary. They had themselves been rebels in order to put into prac- tice their ideas of a new society. But to do so they had to restrain the rebellion of others.

John Blatchly and Norman Scarfe Yoxford: the Garden of Suffolk Following A.G.M., held in St Peter's Church, Yoxford (originally Stikeland) by kind permission of Rev. Philip Owens, Norman Scarfe outlined likely dispositions of the seven Domesday manors around vill, pointing out how much R.T.L. Parr had revised and corrected Yoxford entry in Copinger's Manors of Suffolk. Norman Scarfe has since brought this together in essay on 'The Planting of "the Garden of Suffolk" in his new book, Suffolk in the Middle Ages. In St Peter's Church, John Blatchly gave dates for its building: major rebuild with proceeds of sale of Cockfield Hall, bequeathed by John and Maud Norwich c. 1430; S. aisle (will of William Drane, 1499); S.E. chapel, c.1550; N. aisle, 1837.
