  • The Sun King and the Merry Monarch
    The Sun King and the Merry 1678 Monarch Explores the religious backdrop to one of the largest threats to England's throne - the Popish Plot. Aggravated by the murder of the magistrate Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the Plot reflected religious beliefs and insecurities at the By Calum time. Sir Godfrey was my ancestor (of some 11 generations). A visit to his Johnson grave in Westminster Abbey in 2014 inspired me to explore his role in this religious turmoil which hit hard in 17th Century England... The Clergyman and the King of England Leaving for his morning stroll on the 13th of August 1678, Charles II, King of England and Defender of the Faith heard for the first time of a plot to kill him. This was far from unusual. Indeed, just months earlier, a woman in Newcastle had been subjected to a large investigation after stating, "the King deserves the curse of all good and faithful wives for his bad example”. And yet, when Mr Kirkby (his lab assistant) brought Dr Israel Tonge to him at 8 o’clock that evening, the king listened impatiently before handing the matter over to his first minister…. The Religious Pendulum: Change of Faith in England To truly examine the tumult about to hit England in the 17th Century, it is important that we look first at the Religious scene in Europe some 150 years earlier. In the previous century the Reformation began and Protestantism gathered momentum, fuelled by a desire to reduce the exuberance of the Church in Rome with its elaborate sculptures, paintings and stained-glass windows.

    Ralph Stewart IRSS 33 (2008) 37 Gilbert Burnet’s Politics Ralph Stewart * In July, 1663, Archibald Johnston of Wariston was hanged at the market cross of Edinburgh, officially for the ‘high treason’ of accepting office in Cromwell’s government. Although many people in Scotland had held similar positions, and assisted Cromwell in other ways, only three were executed. (The others were the Earl of Argyle, and Wariston’s friend James Guthrie, a minister.) Wariston’s real crime was to have spearheaded the Scottish revolt against Charles I in the late 1630s, which began with bitter opposition to Charles’ plans to make the Presbyterian Scottish church more like the English one, and more amenable to his wishes. Wariston was co-composer of the Scottish Covenant which challenged the King’s authority, and Clerk of the unofficial parliamentary committee (made up of noblemen, lairds, merchants and ministers) which had subscribed the Covenant. When the King’s decrees on the Kirk were read out by a herald at Edinburgh’s market cross, in the traditional manner, supporters of the Covenant would oblige the herald to stay while Wariston read out a ‘Protestation’ asking for remedy of grievances and a ‘free [Kirk] Assembly and Parliament’.1 In insisting on the execu- tion and quartering of this arch-Covenanter (his head was stuck on the Netherbow Port, beside James Guthrie’s) Charles II may have been motivated partly by personal resentment - though Wariston had no significant part in Charles I’s death - but was also eliminating a symbol of resistance to the King’s authority.

How does one put into words the boundless gratitude to the people and organizations that have made this book possible? Still, I must try. This dissertation simply would not have been possible without the patience, encouragement, and guidance of Dr. Thomas Cogswell. In addition to pointing me in the direction of the most delightful and scandalous sources in early modern England, Tom’s help and advice helped me craft the larger argument and his laughter at the content fueled my drive. Thanks to Tom I will eternally move “onward and upward.” I owe Dr. Randolph Head a great deal for his unending support, his uncanny ability to help me see the narrative flow and the bigger picture, and his dogmatic attention to questions of historical practice.

  • Britain's Political, Cultural & Industrial Revolutions: As Seen by Eighteenth
    Britain’s Political, Cultural & Industrial Revolutions: As Seen by Eighteenth-Century Observers and Later Historians By: Penelope J. Corfield, Prof. Emeritus ISECS Vice President Affiliation: Royal Holloway University of London and Newcastle University UK October 2013 © Penelope J. Corfield (2013) For publication in web-journal Current Research: Literature, Culture and Media (Syddansk University, Odense, Denmark, 2014): ISSN 1903 5705 and on PJC personal website www.penelopejcorfield.co.uk as Pdf31 This essay is expanded text of a seminar presentation with Powerpoint, given at the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Special Conference, hosted by Erasmus University, Rotterdam, on Wednesday 28 August 2013.1 1 With thanks for stimulating discussions from panel chair Annelien de Dijn, fellow panellist Hanca Jürgens, and all ISECS seminar participants; to Anne-Marie Mai for the invitation to publish; and to Tony Belton for his as-ever critical reading of the text. 1 Summary Using previously unknown evidence from contemporary onlookers (both famous and little-known), this essay identifies and classifies the major references to ‘Revolution’ in eighteenth-century Britain. At the start, the most common category of comments referred to abrupt political-regime change. The ‘Happy Revolution’ or what became later known as ‘the Glorious Revolution’ of 1688/9 was the prototype. This political terminology was revived in the 1770s, to denote, whether in praise or blame, the American colonists’ revolt and, after 1789, the massive upheavals in France. Alongside that, a much less well known strand of commentary referred to social and cultural change in terms of ‘revolution’ or ‘the world turned upside down’.

  • Discourses of Religious Change in England, C. 1414 – 1688
    THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 By [Copyright 2016] Benjamin Michael Guyer Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark ________________________________ Luis Corteguera ________________________________ Katherine Clark ________________________________ Steven Epstein ________________________________ Geraldo Sousa Date Defended: March 07, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Benjamin Michael Guyer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark Date approved: March 07, 2016 ii Abstract The Semantics of Reformation: Discourses of Religious Change in England, c. 1414 – 1688 examines how the events of the sixteenth century were conceptualized as the English Reformation. The word ‘reformation’ was widely used during these centuries, but its meaning changed in significant ways. By adopting a linguistic methodology, the dissertation studies reformation as a concept in motion; consequently, the English Reformation, a term widely used today, is treated not as an analytic category but as a historiographical label that developed contingently. The chapters fall into three roughly equal sections, each of which covers a distinct discourse of reformation. Chapters one and two cover the first discourse, which identified reformation as the work of a church council. This discourse began at the Council of Constance (1414 – 1418) and remained firmly in place in all Christian localities through the mid-sixteenth century, when it was challenged by a new discourse: reformation by armed resistance, which is introduced at the end of chapter two and discussed in chapters three and four.
