  • John Darby and the Whig Canon
    JOHN DARBY AND THE WHIG CANON I A celebrated series of books by the English commonwealthmen of the seventeenth century was published between 1698 and 1700. The series included major editions of works by John Milton, Algernon Sidney, and James Harrington, and the civil war memoirs of Edmund Ludlow, Denzil Holles, John Berkeley, and Thomas Fairfax. Collectively these texts have become known as the ‘whig canon’.1 Over the following century this set of writings would profoundly shape the development of republican thought on both sides of the Atlantic.2 The texts of the whig canon would be cited approvingly by thinkers as diverse as Bolingbroke and the founding fathers of the American constitution.3 At their original moment of publication, however, the series was designed to bolster opposition to the consolidation of power by the court whigs under William III. By reasserting ‘true whig’ principles against the corruption of the apostates who made their peace with the court, these historic works were made to chime with the political challenges faced by the opposition in the present moment: attacking the maintenance of standing armies by the state, inveighing against priestcraft, and asserting the primacy of the ancient constitution. 1 Caroline Robbins, The eighteenth-century commonwealthman (Cambridge, MA, 1959), p. 32. 2 J.

Popular Religion, Culture and Politics in the Midlands, c. 1638-1646 Simon Charles Osborne Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Warwick Department of History February, 1993 Summary This thesis is a study of popular allegiance in five midland counties during the English Civil War, 1642- 1646. It considers the relationship between allegiance and popular religion and culture. It aims to provide a regional case study of popular reactions to the war, with particular reference to recent theories of allegiance, which have emphasised the role played by religion and culture. Although the approach is broadly chronological, religion and culture are discussed mainly in the first half of the thesis, and popular allegiance in the second. Chapter One surveys popular religion and culture in the region from c. 1603 to 1638. Chapter Two characterises popular politics on the eve of the Civil War. Chapter Three deals with popular religion and culture in the late 1630s and during the war. In particular, it considers whether or not distinct cultural regions had evolved by this time, and the nature and extent of popular puritanism and 'Anglicanism'.

  • The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855
    HISTORY’S IMPRINT: THE COLONIAL BOOK AND THE WRITING OF AMERICAN HISTORY, 1790-1855 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay E.M. DiCuirci, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Hewitt, Adviser Jared Gardner Susan Williams Copyright by Lindsay Erin Marks DiCuirci 2010 ABSTRACT “History’s Imprint: The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855” investigates the role that reprinted colonial texts played in the development of historical consciousness in nineteenth-century America. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, antiquarians and historians began to make a concerted effort to amass and preserve an American archive of manuscript and print material, in addition to other artifacts and “curiosities” from the colonial period. Publishers and editors also began to prepare new editions of colonial texts for publication, introducing nineteenth-century readers to these historical artifacts for the first time. My dissertation considers the role of antiquarian collecting and historical publishing—the reprinting of colonial texts—in the production of popular historical narratives. I study the competing narratives of America’s colonial origins that emerged between 1790 and 1855 as a result of this new commitment to historicism and antiquarianism. I argue that the acts of selecting, editing, and reprinting were ideologically charged as these colonial texts were introduced to new audiences. Instead of functioning as pure reproductions of colonial books, these texts were used to advocate specific religious, political, and cultural positions in the nineteenth century.

This is an excellent website for the Civil War, especially for local history. 2 Lesson 1. The English Civil War The English Civil War began in 1642, and was fought between supporters of Parliament and supporters of the King. It lasted for seven years, and was the bloodiest conflict ever fought on English soil. Nearly 4% of the population died, and families were pitted against each other: brother against brother, father against son. The soldiers who fought for Parliament were nicknamed the ‘roundheads’ due to their short hair, and those who fought for the King were nicknamed ‘cavaliers’ due to their flamboyant appearance. The roundheads were the more disciplined army, and eventually won the war. See pages 157-160 of What Your Year 4 Child Needs to Know.

  • The Clubmen During the English Civil Wars
    Riotous or Revolutionary: The Clubmen during the English Civil Wars John Staab John Staab is a teacher at Champaign Central High School and received his B.A. from Eastern Illinois University. Currently an M.A. in History candidate at Eastern, he wrote this essay for Dr. Newton Key’s Early Modern Revolutions graduate seminar in fall 2002. The English Civil Wars and Regicide, 1642-49, has been viewed as one of the “great” revolutions. Like the French and Russian Revolutions, the earlier English Revolution saw protests against the government coalesce into armed rebellion, civil war, and then the overthrow of the old order, including the execution of the monarch and establishment of the new rule. In these great Revolutions, historians have pointed to revolutionary moments, such as the peasant uprisings in France in the summer and fall of 1789. To Marxist historians like Christopher Hill, these peasant uprisings act as a prelude, or stepping stone, to a larger social revolution. In the English Civil Wars, which pitted the supporters of the King (Royalists, or Cavaliers) against the Roundhead Parliamentarians, some might point to the rise of the 1644 Clubmen in the countryside as just such a lower class, agrarian revolutionary moment. This paper uses the demands and actions of the Clubmen as a test case to see if definitions of revolution apply to such a group. It also compares them to the French peasant revolts of the mid- seventeenth century, such as the Nu Pieds, in order to question the general revolutionary content of agrarian movements in the early modern period.

  • From Republic to Restoration
    1 Introduction: from Republic to Restoration Janet Clare ROM Republic to Restoration brings together the work of historians, lit- F erary scholars, cultural and music historians with a shared interest in the crossing of the common period boundary of 1660. While recent, more inclusive studies of the seventeenth century have dislodged 1660 as a rigid historiographical divide, relatively few critics have examined the continuum of Republic to Restoration, investigating the features of the Restoration in the context of the legacies, traumas and achievements of the Republic.1 On one level, such a historiographical treatment of the seventeenth century may be seen as an acceptance of the political discourse which accompanied the return of kingship in 1660, mirroring the Restoration’s repudiation or casting into oblivion the entire social order preceding it. Charles II dated his reign from 1649 and ignored the so- called Interregnum in his regnal years calculation. But, as C. V. Wedgwood argued over half a century ago, ‘the problems and achievements of the Restoration epoch, including Parliament, the Church, social or economic history, literature, the arts and the sciences have their beginnings in the earlier period’. 2 Historians and scholars of theatre, drama and the arts who end or begin their work at the Restoration can obscure continuities between the fi rst and second halves of the seventeenth century. As chapters in this volume illustrate, reconstruc- tion of the old order did not mend the political, religious and cultural divisions that had opened up during the civil wars. Nor did the political experiments and the artistic and scientifi c achievements of the 1650s fail to leave an imprint on the rest of the century.

  • Year 3 (1644) (1644) 3 3 Year Year
    Year 3 (1644) The Year Things Go Wrong for the King. In 1644 the Royalists started to lose the war. Why? Two people. Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell. A Brief History of Sir Thomas Fairfax Sir Thomas Fairfax was born in 1612 in North Yorkshire. He was the son of Lord Lancaster. Fairfax was a Puritan. Fairfax fought for the King during the Bishop’s Wars. He fell out with King when the King refused to talk (negotiate) with Parliament. The King tried to run Fairfax over with his horse. During the civil war most of Yorkshire fought for the King but Fairfax fought against him. Fairfax was a very tough soldier. He survived being shot through the wrist. In the early years of the civil war he lost battles and he won battles. His attacks on the Cavaliers in Yorkshire helped stop the Cavaliers from attacking London. In October 1643, he teamed up with Oliver Cromwell and won a great victory against the Royalists at the Battle of Winceby. The victory at Winceby led to a winning streak of battles against the Cavaliers. A Brief History of Oliver Cromwell Oliver Cromwell was born in 1599 in Huntingdon. He was a Puritan. He was the Member of Parliament for Cambridge. When the civil war started, Cromwell didn’t have any experience as a soldier. But even though Cromwell had no experience he soon discovered that he was a naturally brilliant soldier. Cromwell was excellent at fighting on horseback, (soldiers who fought on horseback were called cavalry). Cromwell trained his men better and harder than most other cavalry commanders.
