Downame was also known for his role in publishing two of the most popular theological manuals: Sir Henry Finch’s The Summe of Sacred Divinitie (1620), which consisted of a much more expanded version of Finch’s earlier Sacred Doctrine (1613), and Archbishop James Ussher’s A Body of Divinitie (1645), which was published from rough manuscripts and without Ussher’s consent, having been intended for private use.2 Downame also had a role in codifying the Westminster annotations on the Bible, being one of a few city ministers to work on the project, though he never sat at the Westminster Assembly.3 Downame’s older brother, 1 Various historians from the seventeenth century to the present have spelled Downame’s name differently (either Downame or Downham). The majority of seventeenth century printed works, however, use “Downame.” I here follow that practice.

  • Birthright Democracy: Nationhood and Constitutional Self-Government in History
    BIRTHRIGHT DEMOCRACY: NATIONHOOD AND CONSTITUTIONAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY By Ethan Alexander-Davey A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2013 Date of final oral examination: 8/16/13 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Richard Avramenko, Political Science Daniel Kapust, Political Science James Klausen, Political Science Howard Schweber, Political Science Johann Sommerville, History i Abstract How did constitutionally limited government and democracy emerge in the West? Many scholars from many different perspectives have attempted to answer this question. I identify the emergence of these forms of self-government with early modern nationalism. Broadly speaking, nationalism of the right sort provides indispensable resources both for united popular resistance against autocratic rule, and for the formation and legitimation of national systems self- governance. Resistance and self-government both require a national consciousness that includes a myth of national origin, a national language, a common faith, and, crucially, native traditions of self-government, and stories of heroic ancestors who successfully defended those traditions against usurpers and tyrants. It is through national consciousness that abstract theories of resistance and self-government become concrete and tenable. It is though national fellowship that the idea of a political nation, possessing the right to make rulers accountable to its will, comes into existence and is sustained over time. My arguments basically fall under two headings, historical and theoretical. By an examination of the nationalist political thought of early modern European countries, I intend to establish important historical connections between the rise of nationalism and the emergence of self-government.

By Alexander Lee. Brill’s Studies in Intellectual History, 210. Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2012. x + 382 pp. $177. Petrarch’s opera is extensive, that of Augustine is extraordinarily vast, and the literature on both is vaster still. To bridge them successfully is a significant undertaking. Over the past fifty years, scholars have attempted this task, from classic studies by Charles Trinkaus (often discussed here) to more recent ones such as C. Quillen’s Rereading the Renaissance: Petrarch, Augustine and the Language of Humanism (1995) and M. Gill’s Augustine in the Italian Renaissance: Art and Philosophy from Petrarch to Michelangelo (2005). In a new study, Alexander Lee argues that “Petrarch’s thought on moral questions was derived principally from the writings of St. Augustine” (24). Lee contends that Petrarch, rather than being philosophically inconsistent as is often suggested, was especially influenced by Augustine’s early works, most notably the Soliloquies and the De vera religione, which provided him with an interpretive method for incorporating classical literature and philosophy into Christian moral theology.

    INSTITUTES Institutes fo r College and University Faculty provide intensive study of texts, historical ‘periods, and ideas central to undergraduate teaching in the humanities. They take place in settings suitable fo r research, and they allow faculty to examine significant material under the direction of recognized scholars. They thus prepare faculty to return to their classrooms with a deeper knowledge o f important scholarship in key fields of the humanities. Institutes are sponsored by colleges, universities, libraries, museums, and professional organizations. Participation is open to full-tim e teachers in two-year and four-year colleges and universities, with twenty to thirty participants in a given institute selected in open competition by the institute’s staff. The study program emphasizes collaborative work under the direction of a group of scholars. Participants in these four- to six-week summer institutes receive stipends of $250per week and an allowance fo r travel, room, and board. Prospective participants should write or call the directors of the institutes in which they are interested. There is no need to communicate with NEH.

  • John Milton's Pedagogical Philosophy As It Applies to His Prose and Poetry
    JOHN MILTON'S PEDAGOGICAL PHILOSOPHY AS IT APPLIES TO HIS PROSE AND POETRY by JOOLY MARY VARGHESE, B.A., M.A. A DISSERTATION IN ENGLISH Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved May, 1999 Copyright 1999 Jooly Mary Varghese, B.A., M.A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work could not have been completed without the help of many dear friends and family members, and while unable to name all of them individually here, I am thankful to each one of them. I am immensely grateful to my committee chairperson, Dr. Thomas Langford, who initially gave me the idea for this work. I feel somewhat inept in my attempt to express my gratitude, for he has not only served as a chairperson, but as a mentor, an advisor, and an example of the kind of teacher I aspire to be like. I am also thankful to Dr. James Whitlark for his interest in my work and for his timely and helpful responses, and to Dr. Don Rude for his guidance and support. There are several friends in the department to whom I am grateful for their advice and friendship. Special thanks to Pat and especially to Robin for the many hours in the computer lab working on formatting and other such exciting matters. Robin, I think I still owe you a "fizzy drink." Thank you. 11 My greatest thanks are for my family, especially my parents, whose love and prayers, I am certain, are the reason for my success in this endeavor.

  • Recent Studies in the English Renaissance
    KatherineSEL 57, 1 (Winter Eggert 2017): 181–225 181181 ISSN 0039-3657 © 2017 Rice University Recent Studies in the English Renaissance KATHERINE EGGERT The exercise of reviewing books on nondramatic Renaissance literature released over twelve months from August 2015 until August 2016 feels a bit like speculating on the futures market. Analyzing the way things have recently been, I am also guessing at what is to come. (Buy ecocriticism, sell globalism, is my guess. I explain further below.) I hasten to point out, however, that I am completing this essay just after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, whose results proved me—like many, many others—abjectly inept at predicting the future. Take my forecasting with due caution. I begin by observing that the books that arrived for my review did not surprise me in terms of their topics, since they reflect the kinds of concerns that have been aired recently at major confer- ences in Renaissance studies. The number of books in certain areas did, however, surprise me to some extent. Although the vagaries of publishing mean that any given year might see a coincidental surge in one type of study and temporary dearth in another, three trends seem evident: John Donne may be shoul- dering aside Milton as the Renaissance nondramatic poet about whom books may be written and marketed; cultural-studies books bearing titles fitting the formula “Such-and-Such Cultural Group, Practice, or Object in Early Modern Culture” are on the wane; and some of the best current work in the field connects literature to science (including the “dismal science,” economics), material- ity, and/or knowledge practices.
