THE Waldenes stand apart and alone in the Christian world. Their place on the sufrace of Europe is unique; their position in history is not less unique; and the end. appointed them to fulfill is one which has been assigned to them alone, no other people being permitted to share it with them. The Waldenses bear a twofold testimony. Like the snow-clad peaks amid which their dwelling is placed, which look down upon the plains of Italy on the one side, and the provinces of France on the other, this people stand equally related to primitive ages and modern times, and give by no means equivocal testimony respecting both Rome and the Reformation. If they are old, then Rome is new; if they are pure, then Rome is corrupt; and if they have retained the faith of the apostles, it follows incontestably that Rome has departed from it. That the Waldensian faith and worship existed many centuries before Protestantism arose is undeniable; the proofs and monuments of this fact lie scattered over all the histories and all the lands of mediaeval Europe; but the antiquity of the Waldenses is the antiquity of Protestantism. The Church of the Reformation was in the loins of the Waldensian Church ages before the birth of Luther; her first cradle was placed amid those terrors and sublimities, those ice-clad peaks and great bulwarks of rock. In their dispersions over so many lands–over France, the Low Countries, Germany, Poland, Bohemia, Moravia, England, Calabria, Naples– the Waldenses sowed the seeds of that great spiritual revival which, beginning in the days of Wicliffe, and advancing in the times of Luther and Calvin, awaits its full consummation in the ages to come. In the place which the Church of the Alps has held, and the office she has discharged, we see the reason of that peculiar and bitter hostility which Rome has ever borne this holy and venerable community. It was natural that Rome should wish to efface so conclusive a proof of her apostaey, and silence a witness whose testimony so emphatically corroborates the position of Protestantism. The great bulwark of the Reformed Church is the Word of God; but next to this is the pre-existence of a community spread throughout Western Christendom, with doctrines and worship substantially one with those of the Reformation.

  • English 12: British Literature and Composition Pastoral Poetry Notes
    English 12: British Literature and Composition Pastoral Poetry Notes Standards: ELABLRL1 – The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events, main ideas, and characteristics) in poetry and uses this evidence as the basis for interpretation. ELABLRL3 - The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods. Bloom’s Taxonomy Levels: Knowing and Understanding Pastoral poetry depicts country life in idyllic, idealized terms. The term pastoral derives from the Latin word that means shepherd, and originally, pastorals were about rural life, shepherds, and nymphs (minor divinities of nature in classical mythology represented as beautiful maidens dwelling in the mountains, forests, trees, and waters). Pastoral poetry contains the following elements: Idealized setting In pastoral poems, the environment of rural life is idealized--time is always spring or summer; shepherds are young and enjoy a life of song and love; and the sheep seem to take care of themselves. Mood Renaissance poets did not use the pastoral form to accurately and realistically portray rustic life but to convey their own emotions and ideas about life and love. The mood of the poem is the overall feeling that the poem evokes, or causes in the reader. Tone Tone is the attitude the speaker takes toward his or her subject. Dialogue Though these two poems are by different authors, they function as a pair with the two speakers talking directly to one another. Responding to Marlowe’s poem, Raleigh pretends to take each of the shepherd’s idealized promises about pastoral life literally and then allows the nymph to prove each promise to be empty or incapable of fulfillment due to the harsh reality of rural life.

  • Michele Marrapodi, Ed., Italian Culture in the Drama of Shakespeare & His
    Michele Marrapodi, ed., Italian Culture in the Drama of Shakespeare & his Contemporaries: Rewriting, Remaking, Refashioning (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007). 302pp. ISBN 978 0 7546 5504 6. Jane Pettegree University of St Andrews [email protected] Michele Marrapodi brings to readers another collection of essays contributing to what is already a substantial body of collaborative work on the cultural influence of Italy in the English literary Renaissance.1 Marrapodi’s scholarly strength is informed by an enthusiastic embrace of Bakhtin’s thesis that cultural formation is a dialogic process, evidenced here not only by the content of these essays, but also by the involvement of a wide range of both well-established and emerging scholars in the field whose interests include historicism, gender representation, source criticism, textual editing and performance practice. Throughout, the collection assists the reader in engaging with previous scholarly work, providing ample footnotes and bibliographical references to important investigations into Anglo-Italian intertextuality and the topical use of Italian locations in English literature. This provides a clear overview of the ‘archetypal or seminal legacy’ (p. 1) that Italy presented to the rest of Renaissance Europe in the form of political ideas and literary narratives, and surveys what is known about the ways in which this legacy might be transformed by processes of contaminatio into what Louise George Clubb has described as ‘theatregrams’, a recognisable repertoire of Italian tropes circulating in early English drama. In addition to summarising existing approaches, this collection also helps to develop a more nuanced sense of how, over time, writers of dramatic texts self-consciously drew on this repertoire ostensibly to highlight differences between Italy and England but in fact to explore or even to critique their own culture.

  • Pastoral Ministry in History1
    TMSJ 6/2 (Fall 1995) 143-80 PASTORAL MINISTRY IN HISTORY1 James F. Stitzinger Associate Professor of Historical Theology The biblical pattern for pastoral ministry derives from both testaments of the Bible. Deviations from that pattern crept into the church during the second century A.D., and continued, becoming increasingly severe into the Medieval period of the church. Nevertheless, isolated groups continued their efforts to follow the biblical pattern. These included Chrysostom and Augustine in the early church and the Paulicans, Cathari, Albigenses, and Waldenses during the Medieval period. The Reformation period witnessed a broader return to the biblical pattern through the magisterial reformation of Luther, Calvin, and others and through the Anabaptist reformation. During the Modern period, Puritan leaders such as Baxter, Perkins, and Edwards have led a return to biblical principles in pastoral ministry. Bridges, Morgan, and Allen were nineteenth century examples of biblical ministers. The late twentieth century has produced others, including Lloyd-Jones, Adams, and MacArthur. * * * * * In God's gracious sovereignty, He chose to reconcile believers to Himself through Christ. In His marvelous plan He has committed to them the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18), based upon His Word of reconciliation (5:19). The office and function of the pastor has a key role in this ministry as he proclaims the mystery of godliness. His functions have a close association with the church, the pillar and support of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15-16). 1The source of this essay is the volume entitled Rediscovering Pastoral Ministry, John F. MacArthur, Jr., ed. (Dallas: Word, 1995).

  • SAA Seminar on Landscape, Space and Place in Early Modern Literature Final Abstracts and Bios, Vancouver 2015 Elizabeth Acosta B
    SAA seminar on Landscape, Space and Place in Early Modern Literature Final abstracts and bios, Vancouver 2015 Elizabeth Acosta Bio: Elizabeth Acosta is a graduate student of Literary and Cultural Studies Before 1700 at Wayne State University. Her focus is on early modern dramatic works, especially Shakespeare with interests in feminist (and ecofeminist), queer, and gender studies. Abstract: In Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Phoebe accuses Ganymede (the disguised Rosalind) of causing her “much ungentleness” (5.2.67). Though the accusation is focused specifically on Ganymede’s indiscretion with the letter Phoebe has sent to him, I propose that Ganymede’s “ungentleness” towards Phoebe is consistent throughout their interactions, and representative of Rosalind’s “ungentleness” towards nature itself. As the central figure of As You Like It, Rosalind is often the focus of scholarship on this play. Even while analyzing Rosalind’s actions, this paper will bring to the foreground Phoebe, a rich character, very often overlooked. This ecofeminist approach not only highlights a peripheral character but also offers a reconsideration of Rosalind, one in which, I argue, she contaminates the green space that Phoebe inhabits. Douglas Clark Bio: Douglas Clark is a PhD candidate at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. His research examines the literary and philosophical conceptualization of the will in early modern English writing. He is currently completing an essay entitled “The Will and Testamentary Eroticism in Shakespearean Drama” which will appear

  • “Not Flowers for Poets' Tearful Foolings
    SARAH MONTIN “Not Flowers for Poets’ tearful foolings” First World War Poetry, flowers and the Pastoral Failure. “In wilderness I forgot Gardens immaculate.”1 ere, there are no flowers to love2” mourned Richard Aldington during his service in the trenches in 1917, contradicting contemporary images we have of the Great War, rife with flowers sprouting on “Hbattlefields, lapels, memorials and, now, on most books covering the war. Today the mythical red poppy, popularized by John McRae’s famous poem “In Flanders’ Fields”, is the official symbol of public memory, worn in remembrance of the dead on the 11th November. For the hundreds of self-appointed patriotic poets who rose from anonymity with the declaration of war in 1914, flowers readily emblematized Englishness and sacrifice, immortalized by Rupert Brooke’s “The Soldier” (“England… gave, once, her flowers to love3”). Conversely, for the protest- poets such as Wilfred Owen or Siegfried Sassoon, flowers became the symbol of all that war negated: the “gardens immaculate” of an idyllic pre-war England as well as a form of poetic innocence. War, that “roaring night that wrecked our flower” in Edmund Blunden’s evocative words, is the great corrupter, deflowering young men of their ideals and clouding their poetry with irony and self-doubt. As an archetypal example of locus horribilis, the barren and deadly no man’s land of World War I is indeed radically opposed to the pastoral connotations of the flower (eminent consolatory feature of the locus amoenus), just as their traditional literary vehicles, the epic and the pastoral elegy, have seemingly opposite functions.
