Mystical Experience and the Fifth Monarchy Women: Anna Trapnel, Sarah Wight, Elizabeth Avery, and Mary Cary MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE AND THE FIFTH MONARCHY WOMEN: ANNA TRAPNEL, SARAH WIGHT, ELIZABETH AVERY, AND MARY CARY LORRAINE McNEIL A Thesis submitted for the degree of Ph. D in the Department of English Literary and Linguistic Studies at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne October 2001 NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 201097472 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on mystical experience and the writings of Anna Trapnel and other women associated with the Fifth Monarchy movement, Sarah Wight, Mary Cary, and Elizabeth Avery. Female visionary experience is particularly associated with the High to Late Middle Ages, yet there is a recurrence of it in the mid-seventeenth century, exemplified by the Fifth Monarchy women. One of the aims of this thesis is to determine how far the mystical discourse of medieval writers such as Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, and St. Bridget, penetrates the writing of women associated with the Fifth Monarchists. To this end it participates in the critical debate surrounding the possibility of a tradition of female prophecy. A general residue of medieval mystical texts in England in the seventeenth century suggests cross-cultural influences, yet the recurrence of medieval aspects of mysticism in the writing of women visionaries has been seen as little more than coincidence. In order to develop the idea that there are more deliberate reasons for this recurrence, I will examine the ideological beliefs of the Fifth Monarchy movement, analysing in particular the ways in which these beliefs were expressed, as well as considering the impact of seventeenth-century editions of medieval mystical texts on the visionary writers of this movement. In pointing to a tradition of women's self-expression through mystical experience, this thesis also offers an analysis of Luce Irigaray's essay 'La Mysterique'. Emphasising the notion, that for women, the body is a signifier of mystical experience, Irigaray provides us with the means to gain a greater understanding of women's viSionary writing, while at the same time enabling us to gauge its significance in relation to the systems of social order prevalent during the period in which they wrote. The combination of historical and theoretical analysis is necessary for a full assessment of the implications of a consciousness of a feminised tradition of mysticism for the Fifth Monarchy movement as a whole, exemplified in the work of one of its leaders, John Rogers, but particularly its women members.

Female visionary experience is particularly associated with the High to Late Middle Ages, yet there is a recurrence of it in England in the mid-seventeenth century, exemplified by the Fifth Monarchy women whose mystical and prophetic experiences seem to reflect those of medieval women mystics, such as Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, and St. Bridget. These women are acknowledged to be among the most influential of writers of the medieval mystical tradition. The "mystical tradition" is a phrase used by many medievalists to suggest the enduring nature of this type of literature, and by definition it is indicative of a body of thought which is continuous 1. Yet the impact of this tradition on sectarian women's writing has not been considered. Despite the fact that there remained a general residue of medieval mystical texts in England in the seventeenth century which might suggest cross-cultural influences, current critical opinion has declared the recurrence coincidental. Diane Watt's recent study of female prophecy from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century points to the long term influences of the mystics St. Bridget and Margery Kempe, but states clearly that it does not "argue for a single tradition of female prophecy, or suggest that it is a consistent, transhistorical phenomenon,,2. Gerda Lerner notes that the influence of Hildegard of Bingen extends into the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but affirms that this does not indicate a tradition of female mysticism: "The women of talent existed, they struggled valiantly, they achieved - and they were forgotten. The women coming after them had to start allover again". 3 Is the recurrence of mysticism in the mid-seventeenth century coincidental or are there more 6 deliberate reasons for it? The aims of this thesis centre on identifying a conscious tradition of female mystical expression. By looking again at the evidence, exploring the dissemination of medieval mystical texts in the seventeenth century, and by analysing texts from key figures in the mystical tradition, I will argue that female visionary experience is a consistent and therefore a cross-cultural phenomenon. The visionary writings of the Fifth Monarchy women will consequently be interpreted as part of a specific feminised movement of self-expression. Critical studies of the Fifth Monarchists have been few, and it is only in recent years that feminist scholars have considered the writings of Anna Trapnel, Mary Cary, and to a lesser extent Sarah Wight and Elizabeth Avery, in terms of seventeenth- century radicalism and female self-expression. Alfred Cohen presented one of the first studies of the Fifth Monarchists in 1964 when he explored the general characteristics of the "Fifth Monarchy mind,,4 through the pen of Mary Cary. He asserted that "the ideas of the Fifth Monarchy Men" were "best seen from a study of the works of one of the popular writers of the movement, Mary Cary.,,5 Although he does not consider the significance of gender differences, Cohen at least acknowledges the contribution made by Cary to the Fifth Monarchy movement at a time when literary critics generally dismissed much of women's writing in the seventeenth century as inferior to that of their male counterparts. In her recent study of seventeenth-century women's prophetic texts, Stevie Davis points out that women's contribution to radicalism has been largely ignored. Davis acknowledges that everyone "writing in the field of seventeenth-century radicalism owes a great debt to writerly historians such as Christopher Hill, Keith Thomas, Lawrence Stone, B.S. Capp, E.P. Thompson, [and] Brian Manning"S, yet, worthy though their studies are, as a whole they tend to neglect the impact of female prophecy. Recently, Hilary Hinds has aimed to enlighten literary critics who argue that women's sectarian 7 I writing from the mid-seventeenth century is excluded because "they have a limited amount to offer on a 'literary' level',.7 As she pOints out, "critics have been analysing and commentating on the writings of men from the radical sects, making sense of their pronouncements on issues similar to those engaged with by the women writers,,8. Critics have considered such matters as the origins of spiritual autobiography, the defining characteristics of Puritan writing, and the language of Quakerism, or of the sects more generally. It was not, therefore, that there was no precedent for looking at this work, continues Hinds, or that there was "no body of criticism to engage or enrage the feminist researcher; it was more that there was a lacuna when it came to that body of writing produced by women from the sects."g In the only full-length study of the Fifth Monarchy movement, Bernard Capp's The Fifth Monarchy Men, the bias is towards understanding the ideas of its male leaders. Men such as Thomas Venner and Vavasor Powell who ensured, as Capp points out, that "Fifth Monarchists were linked to the mainstream of political affairs in the years after the execution of Charles I in 1649.,,10 And in The World Turned Upside Down, as Davis again points out, Christopher Hill has "all but censored out, unread, women of the calibre of Cary, [and] Trapnel,,11, and even by the time he wrote The English Bible and the Seventeenth-Century Revolution twenty years later these women were still ignored. Nevertheless, Christopher Hill and Keith Thomas have been among those considering the writing of women like Trapnel or Cary in relation to their position as members of a radical sectarian group, and have, as Kate Chedgzoy points out, viewed their utterances within a more general revolutionary framework. 12 Keith Thomas, for instance, explored women's association with the sects in order to assess 13 the extent to which it affected the family unit. Manifest in these studies, however, is the belief that women did not figure as influential members of their particular group; less obvious is the belief that female prophecy was not especially significant either to the 8 movement to which the women prophets belonged, or to the women themselves.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons Elizabeth Bouldin, Women Prophets and Radical Protestantism in the British Atlantic World, 1640–1730, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2015. £64.99/$99.99, ISBN 9781107095519 (Hardback), pp. vii + 211. Reviewed by: Dr Liam Peter Temple, Northumbria University, May 2016. Elizabeth Bouldin has written a lively, accessible and clear account of an often overlooked aspect of seventeenth-century religious history. Scholars interested in female visionary experience in England are often drawn to medieval figures such as Christina of Markyate, Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, the Reformation visionary Elizabeth Barton, or modern figures such as Joanna Southcott. The major strength of Bouldin’s monograph is the way it illuminates the messages of lesser-known visionary women: Baptists such as Sarah Wight, Katherine Sutton and Elizabeth Poole, the Fifth Monarchist Mary Cary, Quaker women Elizabeth Fletcher and Margaret Brewster, and the Philadelphian prophetesses Jane Lead and Ann Bathurst. In doing so, Bouldin thoughtfully provides these radical Protestant women with the very things they struggled to attain during their own lifetimes: an audience and a voice. The study extends Bouldin’s work on radical religious networks that transcend national boundaries. Building on her important article published in Church History in 2014 on transnational and transconfessional religious exchanges between radical Protestant groups, the present volume advances similar research aims on a much larger scale. Arguing for the ‘porosity of borders’ (p. 3), we are reminded in the introduction that early modern prophets were not restricted by national boundaries, but rather actively sought out fellow visionaries and reformers who shared their concerns, wherever they might be, thereby creating networks of dissent in which ‘female prophets often held central roles’ (p.

  • A Vision for a Diocesan Family of Schools
    A DIOCESAN FAMILY OF SCHOOLS A Vision for Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Leeds 1. Introduction 1.2 From the time of the restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy in 1850, the provision of, and support for, Catholic schools has been central to the life and mission of the Church in England and Wales. Ever since then, we have been required to work together as a Catholic community to rise to the political, economic and social challenges and opportunities which the Church’s mission in education has had to face. This mission has always taken place in a testing and changing context and our contemporary situation is no exception. 1.3 In the course of my visits to parishes over the past three years, I have met with the Chairs of Governors and Headteachers of the primary schools and academies located within those parishes to listen to their hopes and concerns. It has been a great encouragement to me to learn of the wonderful commitment and energy that exists in our diocesan schools. What has also emerged is a desire for greater clarity about the expectations on primary and secondary schools in relation to the development of the five multi-academy trusts within the diocese. 1.4 It is now just over six years since the Diocese of Leeds published its guidance for governors in October 2011, ‘Building the Future: Considering Multi-Academy Trusts’. This document presented a very clear description of ‘how’ schools could convert to academy status and proposed a framework of how five multi- academy trusts could be structured to offer parents a provision of Catholic education for 3-19 years.

  • Oliver Cromwell and the Regicides
    OLIVER CROMWELL AND THE REGICIDES By Dr Patrick Little The revengers’ tragedy known as the Restoration can be seen as a drama in four acts. The first, third and fourth acts were in the form of executions of those held responsible for the ‘regicide’ – the killing of King Charles I on 30 January 1649. Through October 1660 ten regicides were hanged, drawn and quartered, including Charles I’s prosecutor, John Cooke, republicans such as Thomas Scot, and religious radicals such as Thomas Harrison. In April 1662 three more regicides, recently kidnapped in the Low Countries, were also dragged to Tower Hill: John Okey, Miles Corbett and John Barkstead. And in June 1662 parliament finally got its way when the arch-republican (but not strictly a regicide, as he refused to be involved in the trial of the king) Sir Henry Vane the younger was also executed. In this paper I shall consider the careers of three of these regicides, one each from these three sets of executions: Thomas Harrison, John Okey and Sir Henry Vane. What united these men was not their political views – as we shall see, they differed greatly in that respect – but their close association with the concept of the ‘Good Old Cause’ and their close friendship with the most controversial regicide of them all: Oliver Cromwell. The Good Old Cause was a rallying cry rather than a political theory, embodying the idea that the civil wars and the revolution were in pursuit of religious and civil liberty, and that they had been sanctioned – and victory obtained – by God.

  • Oblivion and Vengeance: Charles II Stuart's Policy Towards The
    ARTICLES Paweł Kaptur 10.15290/cr.2016.14.3.04 Jan Kochanowski University, Kielce Oblivion and vengeance: Charles II Stuart’s policy towards the republicans at the Restoration of 1660 Abstract. The Restoration of Charles II Stuart in 1660 was reckoned in post-revolutionary England both in terms of a long-awaited relief and an inevitable menace. The return of the exiled prince, whose father’s disgraceful decapitation in the name of law eleven years earlier marked the end of the British monarchy, must have been looked forward to by those who expected rewards for their loyalty, inflexibility and royal affiliation in the turbulent times of the Inter- regnum. It must have been, however, feared by those who directly contributed to issuing the death warrant on the legally ruling king and to violating the irrefutable divine right of kings. Even though Charles II’s mercy was widely known, hardly anyone expected that the restored monarch’s inborn mildness would win over his well-grounded will to revenge his father’s death and the collapse of the British monarchy. It seems that Charles II was not exception- ally vindictive and was eager to show mercy and oblivion understood as an act of amnesty to those who sided with Cromwell and Parliament but did not contribute directly to the executioner raising his axe over the royal neck. On the other hand, the country’s unstable situation and the King’s newly-built reputation required some firm-handed actions taken by the sovereign in order to prevent further rebellions or plots in the future, and to strengthen the posi- tion of the monarchy so shattered by the Civil War and the Interregnum.
