The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Women's Writing Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-71242-2 - The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Women’s Writing Edited by Laura Lunger Knoppers Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Early Modern Women’s Writing Featuring the most frequently taught female writers and texts of the early modern period, this Companion introduces the reader to the range, complexity, historical importance and aesthetic merit of women’s writing in Britain from 1500 to 1700. Presenting key textual, historical and methodological information, the volume exemplifies new and diverse approaches to the study of women’s writing. The book is clearly divided into three sections, covering: how women learned to write and how their work was circulated or published; how and what women wrote in the places and spaces in which they lived, worked, socialized and worshipped; and the different kinds of writing women produced, from poetry, drama and fiction to letters, diaries and political prose. This structure makes the volume readily adaptable to course usage. The Companion is enhanced by an introduction that lays out crucial framework and critical issues, and by chronologies that situate women’s writings alongside political and cultural events.

  • Puritan Iconoclasm During the English Civil War
    Puritan Iconoclasm during the English Civil War Julie Spraggon THE BOYDELL PRESS STUDIES IN MODERN BRITISH RELIGIOUS HISTORY Volume 6 Puritan Iconoclasm during the English Civil War This work offers a detailed analysis of Puritan iconoclasm in England during the 1640s, looking at the reasons for the resurgence of image- breaking a hundred years after the break with Rome, and the extent of the phenomenon. Initially a reaction to the emphasis on ceremony and the ‘beauty of holiness’ under Archbishop Laud, the attack on ‘innovations’, such as communion rails, images and stained glass windows, developed into a major campaign driven forward by the Long Parliament as part of its religious reformation. Increasingly radical legislation targeted not just ‘new popery’, but pre-Reformation survivals and a wide range of objects (including some which had been acceptable to the Elizabethan and Jacobean Church). The book makes a detailed survey of parliament’s legislation against images, considering the question of how and how far this legislation was enforced generally, with specific case studies looking at the impact of the iconoclastic reformation in London, in the cathedrals and at the universities. Parallel to this official movement was an unofficial one undertaken by Parliamentary soldiers, whose violent destructiveness became notori- ous. The significance of this spontaneous action and the importance of the anti-Catholic and anti-episcopal feelings that it represented are also examined.

  • Why Did People Want the King Back in 1646
    Civil War > Why did people go to war in 1642? > Key people & events Why did people go to war in 1642? Key people & events Charles I’s Personal Rule Most monarchs disliked having to listen to Parliament. However, they always had to call Parliaments because they needed money and they needed Parliament to agree to taxes to raise that money. In return, MPs could express their concerns in Parliament about particular issues. From 1629-40 Charles I ruled without calling Parliament. During this Personal Rule, Charles began to work closely with his officials to raise money without asking Parliament. He did this very successfully. Charles increased his income from £600,000 to £900,000 per year. However, he created a lot of bad feeling as a result. • In 1626-7 he introduced a forced loan. Wealthy nobles and gentry were forced to Charles money whether or not they wanted to. Five knights who refused to pay the loan were thrown into prison without a fair trial and left there. • Charles brought in a range of new customs duties and collected them very effectively. (New customs duties usually had to be approved by Parliament.) • Charles also sold monopolies and patents. These gave control of a particular trade to one individual or company. This meant that other traders either had to pay to take part in the trade or they might be forced out of it altogether. • Charles collected ship money. This was a tax traditionally paid in counties that had coastlines. It paid for the navy to protect the coast. Charles forced people in all counties to pay ship money.

  • The Arrest and Trial of Archbishop William Laud
    THE ARREST AND TRIAL OF ARCHBISHOP WILLIAM LAUD By NICHOLAS ROBERT CHARLES FORWARD A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History School of Historical Studies College of Arts and law University of Birmingham March 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Archbishop William Laud was arrested on 18 December 1640, and specific treason charges were brought forward early in 1641. However he did not stand trial until 1644. This study aims to assess the charges; consider the reasons for the significant delay between the arrest and trial; review the law of treason pertaining at the time and how this was applied to Laud; analyse the condemnatory and often vindictive views of Laud within the public sphere as reflected in the pamphlets and newsbooks of the period; and assess in detail the trial itself. Along with Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford, Laud was a principle counsellor to the king and a major hate figure for parliament who considered the two men responsible for leading the king astray during the period of the personal rule.

  • One of Many: Martial Law and English Laws C. 1500 – C. 1700 John
    One of Many: Martial Law and English Laws c. 1500 – c. 1700 John Michael Collins Minneapolis, MN Bachelor of Arts, with honors, Northwestern University, 2006 MPHIL, with distinction, Cambridge University, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August 2013 Abstract This dissertation provides the first history of martial law in the early modern period. It seeks to reintegrate martial law in the larger history of English law. It shows how jurisdictional barriers constructed by the makers of the Petition of Right Parliament for martial law unintentionally transformed the concept from a complementary form of criminal law into an all-encompassing jurisdiction imposed by governors and generals during times of crisis. Martial law in the early modern period was procedure. The Tudor Crown made it in order to terrorize hostile populations into obedience and to avoid potential jury nullification. The usefulness of martial law led Crown deputies in Ireland to adapt martial law procedure to meet the legal challenges specific to their environment. By the end of the sixteenth century, Crown officers used martial law on vagrants, rioters, traitors, soldiers, sailors, and a variety of other wrongs. Generals, meanwhile, sought to improve the discipline within their forces in order to better compete with their rivals on the European continent. Over the course of the seventeenth century, owing to this desire, they transformed martial law substance, procedure, and administration. The usefulness of martial law made many worried, and MPs in 1628 sought to restrain martial law to a state of war, defined either as the Courts of Westminster being closed or by the presence of the enemy’s army with its standard raised.

Civil War 1642–46 25 4. Revolution 1646–49 30 HISTORY Introduction In this option, students focus on the reigns of James I and Charles I. This period of English history witnessed enormous political, economic and social changes, which erupted in Civil War in 1642. Students investigate the origins of this conflict by analysing the problems faced by James I and Charles I and by evaluating the impact of their financial, foreign and religious policies. Students also study the reasons for Parliament’s victory in the Civil War and the political revolution that followed. This option is assessed in a written examination lasting one hour 30 minutes. Candidates answer two questions. Question 1 is a short response question and candidates answer one question from a choice of two. Question 2 is a source-based question with two parts. In Question 2(a) candidates assess the usefulness of a primary and/or contemporary source to an historian studying a particular historical event or development. In Question 2(b) candidates assess which of two different interpretations of a particular historical event or development they find more convincing. Question 1 targets Assessment Objective AO1: the candidate’s ability to demonstrate, organise and communicate knowledge and understanding to analyse and evaluate the key features related to the periods studied, making substantiated judgements and exploring concepts, as relevant, of cause, consequence, change, continuity, similarity, difference and significance.
