Ita initial purpose ia to determine how he organized his material for the best possible effect. Its ultimate aim is to open n•w avenues for atudying the artistic prose of Taylor. The fulfillment of both these ends should contribute to the discover,y of an aspect of Taylor's rhetoric that is too often given secondar,y eon- aideration, or neglected altogether, in favor of a stu� of his orna­ mentation, or elocutio. An investigation of Taylor's prose usuallJ revolves around the contradiction that exiete between the opinions of MOrria Croll, Who classes Taylor as a writer of the loose Senecan 1 2 school, and logan.

  • <LA Jitterary Quaker: John Smith of ^Burlington and Philadelphia
    <LA Jitterary Quaker: John Smith of ^Burlington and Philadelphia ISTORIANS of literary culture in pre-Revolutionary America have passed rather lightly over the Middle Colonies, focus- ing their attention for the most part upon the colonies to H 1 the north and south, upon New England and Virginia. The exten- sive intervening region, diversified in racial characteristics and social patterns, highly developed in its intellectual interests, and extremely important for the future of American culture, remains virtually unexplored from this point of view. An important consequence is that we know relatively little about the cultural climate of colonial Philadelphia, the principal urban center in the Middle Colonies, destined presently to become the literary and intellectual as well as the political capital of the United States. "By the close of the colonial age," writes Moses Coit Tyler, "Philadelphia had grown to be the centre of a literary activity more vital and more versatile than was to be seen any where else upon the continent, except at Boston." 2 Such literary activity presupposes a cultivated and receptive reading public as well as a group of practicing authors. The accepted view of Philadelphia's cultural life at this period has distinguished three major groups: (i) a small, fairly sophisticated circle around Provost William Smith of the 1 Thomas G.

Chapter 1 surveys the tradition as developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, but also examines the peculiarity of a Church established by law in a land the majority of whose people adhered to other Christian bodies.

Consequently, the course contains both academic and experiential elements meant not only to foster in participants an intellectus fidei (a faithful understanding), but also to assist in developing a habitus fidei (a faithful character) that is embodied in a personalized praxis fidei (a faithful practice).

Admitted to this office in 1661, Taylor, in his own words, found ' all things in perfect disorder' There is indeed a heap of men and ' boys', he wrote, but no body of a college, no one member, either fellow or scholar, having any legal title to his place but thrust in by tyranny or chance.'1 He set to work, ably seconded by the new provost, Thomas Seele, the first of our own graduates to attain the dignity, and they worked so effectively that Taylor's most recent biographer, C.

  • HAMPSHIRE WRITERS. Vice-Provost of Worcester College, Oxford
    HAMPSHIRE WRITERS. By C. H. WILKINSON, Vice-Provost of Worcester College, Oxford. (A paper read to the Club on the occasion of their visit to Hurst Castle in 1953.) " What Countryman are you, Sirrah ? " " Hampshire, Sir ! " ETHEREGE. (The Man of Mode.) N certain organised tours to foreign parts suitable lectures were given on board the ship.- The audience consisted of O two classes—those who knew nothing about the matter in hand and those who knew everything. The latter were the difficulty, so every lecturer was instructed to make two major mistakes. Then one part of the audience learned what it wished to know ; the other pounced on the two mistakes with all the pleasure of superior knowledge and everyone was happy. No such precaution is necessary to-day. My mistakes and omissions will not be limited to two, and your Club will have enough of oncparticular pleasure of the expert—even if it has no other. Writers are not ordinarily associated .with special places or localities. The mention of Marlowe no more reminds us of Canterbury than the name of Shakespeare recalls Stratford, in spite of some modern vulgarities. From what rock was Malory hewn ? Where does Sir Thomas North, or Jeremy Taylor, or Fielding, or Thackeray belong, though as a boy Thackeray lived for a time at Fareham ? A great poet, or handler of that " other harmony " of prose, is obviously not tied to a district. He seldom remained in one in person. For an author there is substance in the self-criticism which the man who had lived in Beaulieu for 53 years expressed to William Allingham in 1866, that he "ought to a' pushed out into the world—gone to London or some large place ".

  • Anglican Moral Theology and Ecumenical Dialogue
    Article Anglican Moral Theology and Ecumenical Dialogue Peter Sedgwick 1,2 1 Honorary Research Associate, Cardiff University, Wales CF10 3AT, UK; [email protected] 2 Retired Principal, St. Michael’s College, Cardiff CF5 2YJ, UK Received: 18 August 2017; Accepted: 17 September 2017; Published: 20 September 2017 Abstract: This article argues that there has been conflict in Roman Catholic moral theology since the 1960s. This has overshadowed, but not prevented, ecumenical dialogue between the Roman Catholic and Anglican Communions, especially in ethics. Theologians from the Anglican tradition can help both the debate in Roman Catholic moral theology and the ecumenical impasse. The article examines the contributions of Richard Hooker, Jeremy Taylor, and Kenneth Kirk from 1600–1920, in the area of fundamental moral theology. Keywords: moral theology; ecumenism; Anglican Communion; Roman Catholic Church; moral virtue; Imitation of Christ; moral judgements; moral absolutes; adiaphora/αδιάφορα There are three arguments which I wish to advance in this article. The first is that Roman Catholic moral theology has been in a state of sustained engagement, and sometimes outright conflict, on the nature of moral theology, and the place of the human agent, since the 1960s. This is at the heart of Joseph Selling’s recent and very valuable book, Reframing Catholic Theological Ethics (Selling 2016). It is this book which was honoured by a conference at Heythrop College, London, in January 2017, both for its own sake and as a way of exploring what the future direction of Catholic theological ethics (or moral theology) might be. I write as an Anglican moral theologian who has long been deeply influenced by Catholic moral theology.
