Asbury Theological Seminary Information Services Special Collections Papers of Hannah Whitall Smith ARC1983 -002 Asbury Theological Seminary Information Services Special Collections Papers of Hannah Whitall Smith ARC1983 -002 Introduction The Hannah Whitall Smith Papers (1847-1960) include personal materials that relate to Hannah Whitall Smith’s career as an evangelist, author, feminist, and temperance reformer. The Papers cover especially her adult years, from 1850 until her death in 1911. Her family has added a few pieces to the collection throughout the years following her death. The papers are composed of correspondence sent to Hannah W. Smith; subject files, including a large section of clippings, pamphlets, books, and broadsides about fanaticisms of her day, which she herself collected; literary productions, including her journal (1849-1880); printed materials; and photographic materials. The Special Collections Department of the B.L. Fisher Library received the Hannah Whitall Smith Papers collection, which contains 4.8 cubic feet of manuscript materials, in 1983 from Barbara M. Halpern of Oxford, England. Sixteen volumes of literary productions and other books also accompany this collection. Content The Hannah Whitall Smith Papers span the years 1847-1960, with the bulk of the materials covering HWS’s adult years, 1850-1911, the year she died. Family members added some pieces to the collection following her death. The collection has 1.2 cubic feet of letters written to HWS during the years 1858-1911. These letters cover many topics, such as temperance, suffrage, speaking engagements, and questions/comments regarding her books and acquaintances. Some of her major correspondents include Susan B. Anthony; Arthur Booth-Clibborn; Margaret Bottome; Edward Clifford; Abby Folwell; Friends Yearly Meeting of Richmond, Indiana; Emelia R. Gurney; Mary E. Harte; Andrew Jukes; Man Moller; Lady Mount Temple; Lady Henry Somerset; Basil Wilberforce; and Frances Willard. Other correspondents with one or two pieces written by them include William James, Mr. and Mrs. George MacDonald, Anna Shipley, Amy Hudson Taylor, Walt Whitman, and Mrs. Oscar Wilde. HWS also possessed some letters written among other people that were passed on to her because of the topic discussed or the persons mentioned within them. This is also true of some letters that are addressed to various family members but remained in her personal papers. A small folder contains copies of letters HWS wrote to her family members or acquaintances. Included is a photocopy of a notebook in which are copies of letters she wrote to her family members telling them of her trip to England in 1874. Originals of these personal letters are still held by her family members; hopefully these will be added to the HWS collection at a future time. The subject files cover such topics as home remedies, women preachers, women’s suffrage, organizations she supported or participated in, and contemporaries. Particularly notable about this series are the excerpts of Bertrand Russell’s diary (1890-1894) and various materials she collected from her involvements in the British, National, and World Women’s Temperance Associations and the Society of Friends. Perhaps the most significant of her collected materials are her files on the “fanaticisms” of her day, with topics arranged alphabetically. They include many news clippings, both from American and British newspapers; pamphlets; books; and broadsides. Over seventy “fanaticisms” are included, those most deeply researched being Abode of Love (J.H. Smith- Pigot), Brotherhood of the New Life (Thomas Lake Harris), Christian Science (Mary Baker Eddy), Dowism (John Alexander Dowie), Koreshans (J.R. Teed), Order of the Golden Dawn (Theodore and Laura Horos), Theosophy, and Tongues (A.A. Boddy, Arthur T. Pierson, J. Wesley Baker, and Mrs. Penn-Lewis). Also mentioned are the Christian Alliance (A.B. Simpson) and Pentecostal Dancers (Seth Rees, Bud Robinson, and E.L. Harvey). This section would be particularly helpful in researching any of the cults which were prominent in the late 1880’s and early 1900’s. Literary productions include her journal (1849-1880), which is a personal and spiritual autobiography written in a confidential style. Also on file is information showing that, in later years, HWS made an attempt to locate all the materials she had written in her early years. The earliest written material in this collection is an autobiography she began in 1847, a few years before her marriage to Robert Pearsall Smith. The HWS collection includes twelve published books, including her annotated Bible. These literary productions are good examples of HWS’s varied writing styles. Family items regarding her sons Logan and Frank, herself, and her friends Lady Mount Temple and Frances Willard are of particular interest in the scrapbook material on file. Also included are literary notices about some of her own books, as well as a book written by her son Logan. This series helps to give insights into her involvements with her friends and children. Some of the items were added to the collection after her death. In the printed materials section are articles written by Frances Willard, books written by family members and about the Smith family, clippings about acquaintances, and several newspapers and periodicals which were prominent papers of her day (“The Apostolic Faith,” “The Life of Faith,” “Cleansing by Water,” “Confidence,” “Fragments of Flame,” “The New Acts,” “Times of Refreshing,” and “Triumphs of Faith”). The photographic series documents well portray the adult life of HWS and Robert Smith. There are photographs from her marriage year (1851) to the year before her death (1910). Included is a scrapbook which particularly documents the couple’s trip in 1875 to Europe for evangelistic meetings, the Broadlands Conference, and some of their acquaintances. There are thirty-five individual photographs portraying HWS, Robert, and their children, as well as some friends, including Frances Willard. Also included are some photographs of specific pieces within the collection (periodicals, broadsides, and literary productions). Of possible further interest to the researcher are the Robert Pearsall Smith Papers (.4 cubic feet) and Ray Strachey Papers (.4 cubic feet), both of which are also located in the Special Collections Department of the B.L. Fisher Library. The Hannah Whitall Smith Papers are available for viewing. Permission must be secured from Archivist Grace Yoder for any research or publication of the materials. Biographical Sketch Hannah Whitall Smith (1832-1911) a religious author, Bible teacher, feminist, and temperance reformer, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the eldest of five children born to staunch Quakers, John Mickle and Mary Tatum Whitall. She was educated in strict Quaker discipline in the Friends schools of Philadelphia. The deep spiritual piety of her home life undoubtedly contributed to her inquisitive interest from adolescence in religious truth. On June 25, 1851, at the age of nineteen, she was married to Robert Pearsall Smith, the son of John Jay and Rachel Pearsall Smith, birthright Quakers of Philadelphia. Seven children were born to Hannah and Robert; only three lived to adulthood. Robert, like his father, was engaged in a publishing venture. He became a map publisher of some repute. However, the publishing business was not particularly profitable, and Robert eventually joined the Whitall-Tatum firm. Much of what Hannah and Robert were able to do throughout their lives was possible because of the family business, which allowed them to move about with minimal financial concern. In 1865, Robert became the resident manager of the Whitall-Tatum glass factories in Millville, New Jersey. Here, Robert and Hannah became influenced by a group of Methodist employees who introduced them to the Methodist doctrines of entire sanctification and the Spirit-filled life. Following their new spiritual experiences growing in the summer camp meetings where they cooperated with leaders of the deeper-life movements in non-Methodist traditions. In 1873, Robert Smith, whose fame was a lay preacher had crossed the Atlantic, traveled to England, where he conducted a series of religious meetings. Hannah joined him in 1874, and the two became deeply involved in the Higher Life movement, which swept over England and onto the Continent from 1873 to 1875. In a series of revivalistic “holiness” conferences, designed primarily for the aristocracy and upper class of English society, the Smiths became almost immediately the most influential leaders of the Higher Life movement. In Broadlands, Oxford, and Brighton, Hannah’s Bible readings proved especially popular. However, this phase of their

    “The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century

    1 “The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century James Keating (UNSW) [email protected] Author accepted manuscript of ‘“The Defection of Women”: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act Repeal Campaign and Transnational Feminist Dialogue in the Late Nineteenth Century,’ Women’s History Review 25, no. 2 (2016): 187–206. 2 Abstract: Over the past decade, historians have situated feminist reformers’ efforts to dismantle the British imperial contagious diseases apparatus at the heart of the transnational turn in women’s history. New Zealand was an early emulator of British prostitution regulations, which provoked an organised repeal campaign in the 1880s, yet the colony is seldom considered in these debates. Tracing the dialogue concerning the repeal of contagious diseases legislation between British and New Zealand feminists in the 1890s, this article reaffirms the salience of political developments in the settler colonies for metropolitan reformers. A close reading of these interactions, catalysed by the Auckland Women’s Liberal League’s endorsement of the Act in 1895, reveals recently enfranchised New Zealand women’s desire to act as model citizens for the benefit of metropolitan suffragists. Furthermore, it highlights the asymmetries that remained characteristic of the relationship between British feminists and their enfranchised Antipodean counterparts. 3 ‘The Defection of Women’: the New Zealand Contagious Diseases Act repeal campaign and transnational feminist dialogue in the late nineteenth century Despairing of the faltering imperial campaign to abolish state-regulated prostitution, in 1895 the British social purity activist Josephine Butler decried the tendency for women’s organisations to advocate regulation.

    Suffrage and Virginia Woolf 121 Actors

    SUFFRAGE AND VIRGINIAWOOLF: ‘THE MASS BEHIND THE SINGLE VOICE’ by sowon s. park Virginia Woolf is now widely accepted as a ‘mother’ through whom twenty- ¢rst- century feminists think back, but she was ambivalent towards the su¡ragette movement. Feminist readings of the uneasy relation betweenWoolf and the women’s Downloaded from movement have focused on her practical involvement as a short-lived su¡rage campaigner or as a feminist publisher, and have tended to interpret her disapproving references to contemporary feminists as redemptive self-critique. Nevertheless the apparent contradictions remain largely unresolved. By moving away from Woolf in su¡rage to su¡rage in Woolf, this article argues that her work was in fact deeply http://res.oxfordjournals.org/ rooted at the intellectual centre of the su¡rage movement. Through an examination of the ideas expressed in A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas and of two su¡rage characters, Mary Datchet in Night and Day and Rose Pargiter in TheYears,it establishes how Woolf’s feminist ideas were informed by su¡rage politics, and illumi- nates connections and allegiances as well as highlighting her passionate resistance to a certain kind of feminism. at Bodleian Library on October 20, 2012 I ‘No other element in Woolf’s work has created so much confusion and disagree- mentamongherseriousreadersasherrelationtothewomen’smovement’,noted Alex Zwerdling in 1986.1 Nonetheless the women’s movement is an element more often overlooked than addressed in the present critical climate.

    The Holiness Movement the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Part 1

    Community Bible Church Instructor: Bill Combs THE HOLINESS MOVEMENT THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY PART 1 I. INTRODUCTION A. Though the title of this series is “The Holiness Movement,” we actually will be taking a more comprehensive historical perspective. What is technically called the Holiness movement, as we will see, developed out of the Methodist Church in the middle of the 19th century (the 1800s) in American. It was an attempt to preserve the teachings on holiness of John Wesley (1703–1791), the founder of Methodism. Wesley came up with the new and unique idea of a second transforming work of grace that is distinct from and subsequent to the new birth. This second blessing of entire sanctification is just as powerful and transforming as the first transforming work of grace—the new birth or regeneration. The Methodist Church eventually forsook Wesley’s view of sanctification at the end of the 19th century, but the Holiness Movement continued to champion Wesley’s view. Part of this Holiness tradition led to what is called the Keswick (the “w” is silent) movement. It is the particular form of Holiness teaching found in the Keswick movement that is of most interest to us in our study the next few weeks. The Keswick movement began at the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century became the most common way of understanding the Bible’s teaching on holiness in fundamentalism and most churches in the broader evangelical tradition—Baptist churches, Bible churches, some Presbyterian churches (also many parachurch organizations, such as Campus Crusade for Christ).

    The Cambridge Introduction to Virginia Woolf for Students of Modern Literature, the Works of Virginia Woolf Are Essential Reading

    This page intentionally left blank The Cambridge Introduction to Virginia Woolf For students of modern literature, the works of Virginia Woolf are essential reading. In her novels, short stories, essays, polemical pamphlets and in her private letters she explored, questioned and refashioned everything about modern life: cinema, sexuality, shopping, education, feminism, politics and war. Her elegant and startlingly original sentences became a model of modernist prose. This is a clear and informative introduction to Woolf’s life, works, and cultural and critical contexts, explaining the importance of the Bloomsbury group in the development of her work. It covers the major works in detail, including To the Lighthouse, Mrs Dalloway, The Waves and the key short stories. As well as providing students with the essential information needed to study Woolf, Jane Goldman suggests further reading to allow students to find their way through the most important critical works. All students of Woolf will find this a useful and illuminating overview of the field. JANE GOLDMAN is Senior Lecturer in English and American Literature at the University of Dundee.

  • A “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism

    A “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism

    A “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism DAVID R. ELLIOTT Protestant fundamentalism has often been characterized as militant, rationalistic, paternalistic and even misogynist.1 This was particularly true of Baptist and Presbyterian fundamentalists who were Calvinists. Yet, evangelicalism and fundamentalism also had a feminine, mystical, Arminian expression which encouraged the active ministry of women and which had a profound impact upon the shaping of popular piety through devotional writings and mystical hymnology.2 This paper examines the “feminine” presence in popular fundamentalism and evangelicalism by examining this expression of religion from the standpoint of gender, left brain/right brain differences, and Calvinistic versus Arminian polarities. The human personality is composed of both rational and emotional aspects, both of equal value. The dominance of either aspect reflects the favouring of a particular hemisphere of the brain. Males have traditionally emphasized the linear, rational left side of the brain over the intuitive, emotional right side. Females have tended to utilize the right side of the brain more,3 although some males are more right-brained and some females are more left-brained. Such differences may be genetic, hormonal or sociological. Brain researcher Marilyn Ferguson favours the sociologi- cal explanation and suggests a deliberate reorientation to the right side of the brain as means of transforming society away from confrontation to a state of peace. She sees the feminist movement accomplishing much of this transformation of society by emphasizing the right side of the brain.4 When looking at the two dominant expressions of Protestantism – Historical Papers 1992: Canadian Society of Church History 80 “Feminine” Heartbeat in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism Calvinism and Methodism, we find what appears to be a left/right brain dichotomy.

    1 Palaces Eternal and Serene: The Vision of Altamura and Isabella Stewart Gardner’s Fenway Court* Robert Colby The 8 December 1907 edition of the Boston Herald claimed to have solved the mystery of a new building at Isabella Gardner’s Fenway Court: “STOREHOUSE BUILT COSTLY AS PALACE.” It went on to explain how the building was erected to house works of art for which there was no room in the museum that had been completed only four years before. Its curious and monumental design, the paper noted, was based on that of a monastery. Like most everything at Fenway Court, the whimsical structure with its baroque detail, austere walls, and oversized trellises was the subject of intense speculation, although its chief practical function was to house carriages and motorcars. Gardner died in 1924, and over the course of the twentieth century the building fell into disrepair. The once-high walls were incrementally lowered and the trellises dismantled, leaving the impression of a stand-alone outbuilding: “the carriage house.” In July of 2009, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum demolished what remained of the structure in order to build a new addition. In its original design, the building referred to Altamura, an aesthetic utopia that was the subject of an essay conceived of by Bernard Berenson, Mary Smith Costelloe, and Logan Pearsall Smith.1 “Altamura” appeared in 1898 in the trio’s self-published “little periodical,” the Golden Urn, and described the yearlong liturgy of a fictive English monastery dedicated to “St. Dion” in an indeterminate Italian locale. The essay outlines a new religion, expressing the full measure of aestheticism’s philosophical potential as Epicurean materialism that was yet possessed of a transcendent dimension.

    Women in the Wesleyan and United Methodist Traditions: a Bibliography

    1 Women in the Wesleyan and United Methodist Traditions: A Bibliography Edited by Susan E. Warrick The General Commission on Archives and History The United Methodist Church P.O. Box 127, 36 Madison Ave. Madison, New Jersey 1991, 2003 INTRODUCTION The history of women in the Wesleyan and United Methodist tradition is one of almost ceaseless activity. From faithful attendance in worship to service as missionaries, teachers, pastors' wives, preachers, organizers, and reformers, women stepped from their homes into a needy world. In the fruitful collaboration of women and the church is written much of the history of the Wesleyan movement. Women's church work is also the foundation of their involvement in social and political reform. This bibliography reflects the rich variety of women's work in the church; however, one of the lessons learned early in the process was that scholars have only begun to recover and interpret the history of that work. We hope that this bibliography will spur examination of some long-neglected areas. This effort is indebted to Kenneth E. Rowe's pioneering contribution, Methodist women: a guide to the literature (1980), the first comprehensive bibliography of titles related to women in the Wesleyan tradition. For several years thereafter, Carolyn DeSwarte Gifford and Karen Heetderks Strong, then of the General Commission staff, collected information on additional sources, keeping pace with a growing body of scholarship. The first edition of this bibliography incorporated their work with my own, and was completed in 1991. The current edition includes titles published up through December 2001. This bibliography is extensive, but it cannot claim to be exhaustive.
