Travitsky, Retha Warnicke, Elspeth Whitney, Abby Zanger, Georgianna Ziegler Acknowledgements Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal is sponsored by the Center for Renaissance & Baroque Studies of the University of Maryland, where the daily business of collecting, reviewing, editing, designing, and hand-wringing takes place. Our thanks go to the Director of the Center, Adele Seeff (in her other role), for her tireless oversight and relentless search for funding. We appreciate the support of the Dean of Arts and Humanities, James F. Harris, from the beginning, and the aid of the chairs of English, Charles Caramello and Gary Hamilton, and the chair of Women’s Studies, Bonnie Thornton Dill. EMWJ is also now a joint project with the Arizona Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies at Arizona State University, who oversee printing and distribution of the journal. Our gratitude especially goes to Robert Bjork, Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval & Renaissance Studies, for his mediation between institutions and his sound advice. EMWJ is guided by its Editorial Advisors made up of the Planning Committee of the “Attending to Early Modern Women” Symposium and the officers and committee chairs of the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women. Elected members from both groups join with the editors to form the Editorial Board that makes decisions on article acceptance and reviewing standards. Our gratitude goes to all these hard-working scholars who yet find time to help guide the journal: their names are listed above. In addition, we are grateful to the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women for its financial contribution. We also thank the Sixteenth Century Studies conference for its crucial support. A great debt is owed to many people.

The journal is an out- growth of dedicated work by scholars in many fields during the past three decades. To begin our first volume, we wish to acknowledge our debt to the past by recounting the history of the several communities from which the journal has developed, and to offer our vision for what our new journal might accomplish. Dedicating a journal to the study of gender and to the history, literature, and arts of early modern women is no small accomplish- ment: it signals a significant step toward reformulating the questions we are all “allowed” to ask. As Natalie Zemon Davis suggested in the second volume of the “Attending” proceedings, establishing a field of early modern women’s studies has allowed us to complicate our vision, to see not only “hierarchies, exclusions, and dominations” balanced by “resourcefulness and resistance,” but also “the practices of the middle ground, the multiple tongues of complicity, coping, arguing, and exchange, out of which some- times, like a metamorphosis, a new moment is born” (35-6). During the 1980s, several key colloquia initiated conversations across disciplines on the subject of early modern women and consolidated the scholarship on Renaissance women that had burgeoned in the previous decade. Beginning with a 1976 Modern Language Association (MLA) session on feminist interpretations of Shakespeare, Carolyn Ruth Swift Lenz, Gayle Greene, and Carol Thomas Neely collected essays that were published in 1980 as The Woman’s Part: Feminist Criticism of Shakespeare by the University of Illinois Press. Two years later, Yale University con- 1 2 EMWJ 2006, vol. 1 Letter from the Editors vened “Renaissance Women/Renaissance Men: Studies in the Creation of Culture and Society,” and in 1983 the Newberry Library hosted “Changing Perspectives on Women in the Renaissance.” Both of these conferences resulted in ground-breaking publications—Rewriting the Renaissance: The Discourses of Sexual Difference in Early Modern Europe, edited by Margaret W. Ferguson, Maureen Quilligan, and Nancy J. Vickers and published in 1986 by the University of Chicago Press; and Women in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, edited by Mary Beth Rose and published in 1986 by Syracuse University Press. At that same time, at both the Patristic, Medieval, and Renaissance Conference and the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference, sessions were devoted

  • The Boomerang Theology of Andrew Marvell
    The Boomerang Theology NIGEL SMITH of Andrew Marvell Résumé : La poésie lyrique d’Andrew Marvell a suscité quelques discussions bien connues de la poétique protestante, puritaine et contre-réformatrice. Tou- tefois la religion joue un autre rôle, presqu’entièrement inexploré, dans sa poésie. On a remarqué jusqu’à quel point ses œuvres en prose des années 1670, dans lesquelles il exprime ses opinions sur la tolérancereligieuse, la liberté civile et l’absolutisme, incorporent des vers et des expressions remaniés de sa poésie, parmi d’autres références poétiques. Cet article considère la poésie de Marvell, autant en soi qu’en son remaniement, comme le chantier où a été forgée la largeur d’esprit manifestée dans sa prose. hirty years ago, the last time a large body of Marvell editions were Tpublished, the poet and politician’s public life and professed belief presented a number of seemingly unsolvable difficulties that were at least helpful in explaining the ambiguities and ironies for which his most famous poems were celebrated.1 A Parliamentarian and Puritan; a friend of Milton, but someone who apparently expressed sympathy for King Charles I, and so, perhaps, a covert royalist. A friend of the nonconformists, during the Restoration, and a stout defender of liberty of conscience, but despite his attack on the bishops, someone who was prepared to defend them in certain circumstances. A vehement spokesman against popery, and its concomitant, arbitrary government, but someone prepared occasionally to defend Catho- lics. We have come a long

  • Freemuse-The-State-Of-Artistic-Freedom
    THE STATE OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM 2018 FREEMUSE THE STATE OF ARTISTIC FREEDOM 2018 1 Freemuse is an independent international organisation advocating for and defending freedom of artistic expression. We believe that at the heart of violations of artistic freedom is the effort to silence opposing or less preferred views and values by those in power – politically, religiously or societally – mostly due to fear of their transformative effect. With this assumption, we can address root causes rather than just symptoms – if we hold violators accountable. Our approach to artistic freedom is human rights-based as it provides an international legal framework and lays out the principles of accountability, equality and non-discrimination, and participation. ©2018 Freemuse.

    THE EAST INDIA CLUB SOME ACCOUNT OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB & STAFF WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ONE 1914-1919 & WORLD WAR TWO 1939-1945 THE NAMES LISTED ON THE CLUB MEMORIALS IN THE HALL DEDICATION The independent ambition of both Chairman Iain Wolsey and member David Keating to research the members and staff honoured on the Club’s memorials has resulted in this book of Remembrance. Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic, mechanical or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing, from the East India Club.

  • These Troublesome Times"
    "These Troublesome Times": ALL SOULS COLLEGE AND THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR The first complete surviving All Souls College Minute Book, Acta in Capitulis, MS. 400a dates from 18th August 1601 to the final entry, dated 29th July 1707, when it was agreed that the Wood-House should be repaired. The manuscript comprises 260 folios, of which folios 1 – 258v are the text, and folios 259r – 260v are an index which may have been added when the papers were first bound. The fact that the edge of the text has disappeared into the gutter on a number of occasions does suggest that the papers were originally written on loose pages before being bound. The folios that relate to the Civil War and Commonwealth periods are numbered 104r (25th April 1642) – 147v (29th September 1663) when Percivall (sic) Starmey renewed his lease at South Petherton at a reduced fine of £50 because of "losse in the warre time". The purpose of this study is to examine at the administration and the impact that the Civil War had on it though the eyes of the Warden and Fellows as recorded in the Acta. The majority of these entries were written by Martin Aylworth (1592 – 1658) elected Fellow 1610 and still in Fellowship at his death 11th January 1658. Indeed Aylworth was a prolific writer of the Minute Book his entries commencing on 25th July 1620, and the last was written on 27th November 1657. His spelling is not consistent, for instance he writes both "year" and "yeer"; his use of capital or lower case is difficult to decipher, and this is true as the century goes on and he starts to use long ascenders and descenders to his letters.

I argue that average Soviet citizens’ view of America was primarily informed by, and closely followed that of official propaganda. Deprived of any coherent information about America, Soviet citizens fell back on pre-World War II and even pre-Revolutionary views of America as an incredibly rich yet socially unjust country dominated by an insatiable pursuit of money. While these views did not remain static they adjusted to social and political events--the changes remained on the outer layers and did not touch the foundations of ordinary Soviet people’s image of America.

Ingram Assistant Professor of History ___________________________________________ Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT TESKE, STEPHEN A., M.A., June 2009, History 'God, the only giver of victory': Providentialism and Secularization in England, c.1660- 1760 (97 pp.) Director of Thesis: Robert G. Ingram From c.1660 to c1760 England is often characterized as a society undergoing an accelerating process of secularization, and by extension, modernization. This narrative of the period ignores the way many in England understood and explained the world around them; through the non-secular and providential language of divine intervention. This thesis argues that during this one hundred year period England underwent no process of secularization, and instead remained consistent in its commitment to the language of divine intervention. This thesis examines the way English clergymen used the language of divine intervention publicly, in order to illuminate the utility and substance of the language of divine intervention for a highly visible and influential segment of English society.
