It counteracts the fragmentation of current historiography through encouraging a variety of approaches which attempt to redefine the political, social and cultural worlds, and to explore their interconnection in a flexible and creative fashion. All the volumes in the series question and transcend traditional inter- disciplinary boundaries, such as those between political history and literary studies, social history and divinity, urban history and anthropology. They contribute to a broader understanding of crucial developments in early modern Britain.

This book has been ongoing for a number of years. I have many debts. The AHRB generously matched a period of leave awarded by the Department of History at Royal Holloway that allowed the bulk of the text to be written. I have tried many of the ideas out on tolerant audiences in Los Angeles, Victoria, Edmonton, Ferrara, South Bend, Belfast, Dublin, Paris, Wolfenbuttel, Oxford, York, Sheffield and London (strangely enough not yet in Cambridge): I am grateful to all these audiences. Some of the material has been rehearsed in print: due acknowledge- ment has been made in the appropriate place, but many thanks to Dan Carey, David Hayton, Antony McKenna, Ole Grell and the now sadly departed Roy Porter for offering editorial help in these instances. In the course of the research I have received help and advice from a huge range of scholars. Mark Goldie has been a constant inspiration. Michael Hunter has consistently laboured over the various versions, always offering invaluable suggestions and insights. Margaret Jacob offered robust encouragement and graciously forwarded research materials – many of the themes explored here were originally inspired by her path-breaking work. Blair Worden has been an important influence on the development of the work. He graciously read and commented on Part II. Antony McKenna has both delivered calm commentary and introduced me to a number of scholars – Pierre Lurbe, Laurent Jaffro, and Tristan Dagron. All the latter have shared their research and offered useful advice. Giancarlo Carabelli was for a long time known to me only by his extraordinary bibliography. Having met him in Ferrara, I can only salute his commitment and energy to excavating the infrastructure of Toland’s life. Alan Harrison has been a sounding board over the past years; again, despite his own burdens he has shared his thoughts and researches. Miguel Benitez has generously offered robust advice and shared his profound learning. Other scholars, Jim Dibykowski and James Alsop, graciously shared their own researches with me prior to publication. The History of Parliament Trust in the learned trinity of David Hayton, Andrew Hanham and Stuart Handley have been exceptionally patient with me. They’ve all made me think harder about political realities, when I may have been tempted to spiral off into hyper-textuality. Similarly Clyve Jones of the Institute of Historical Research has patiently offered suggestions and important references. If this book has any claims to be more rooted in the real world of politics than most intellectual history usually is, blame these men. Other historians and friends have offered an ear to rant in, and an arm to lean on. Mike Braddick has been a stable influence and encouraging commentator. Although it may not be immediately apparent his own work on authority and power has exercised a profound and deep influence on the way I think about the culture Toland lived in. Harvey Shoolman has offered more references than I vi MUP/Champion/Prelims 6 27/2/03, 10:06 am Preface could ever read, but also and importantly a fierce reassurance that subjects like Toland deserve our attention. Robert Iliffe continues to keep me on my toes. John Marshall has kept up a conversation on these matters for nearly twenty years. Closer to home Francis Robinson, Jack Pridham, Roy Miller, Paul Finch and Klaus Dodds have kept my spirits up with dedication and skill. A decade’s worth of special subject students have helped me reread many of Toland’s works: I can honestly say that on regular occasions I have learnt as much from them as they have from me. Thanks too are due to my persevering co-convenors at the Institute of Historical Research – John Miller and Ian Roy especially. The spirit of disinterested historical enquiry exists still in these gatherings. The University of London, and especially Royal Holloway College, has been a stimulating place to work. Despite the ever expanding burdens of administrative endeavour, the History Department has always prided itself on a commitment to scholarship. Colleagues such as Tony Stockwell, Pat Crimmin, and Alison Brown have always offered encouragement and support for which I am very grateful. Sam Barnish has been a tremendous font of knowledge (and fine wine): it is a privilege to be able to make idle enquiry of him. Such requests always prompt profound response. Michael Drolet has been a partner in crime for a number of years too. My research students, Eduardo Gasca, David Wilson, Lee McNulty, Nicholas Keene, Sheila Seymour, Debbie Kepple, Kris Josephs and Vanessa McMahon have all kept me firmly in touch with current research. Committing one’s thoughts to paper is an engaging but distracting activity. It requires an enormous infrastructure of institutional and economic support. It relies however on social and emotional dimensions which are very rarely costed in the various academic audits.

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

  • Scottish Borderers Between 1587 and 1625
    The chasm between James VI and I’s vision of the orderly “Middle Shires” and the “wickit” Scottish Borderers between 1587 and 1625 Anna Groundwater Scottish History, University of Edinburgh L’élimination du crime le long des frontières anglaises, de pair avec un plus grand sérieux face à ce problème à partir de 1587, fait partie d’une monopolisation générale de l’utilisation de la violence et des procédés légaux par le gouvernement écossais. Au fur et à mesure que la succession de Jacques Stuart sur le trône anglais devenait vraisemblable, le contrôle des frontières s’est accéléré, et les chefs expéditionnaires des raids outre frontières y ont contribué. Aux environs de 1607, Jacques affirmait que les désordres frontaliers s’étaient transformés en une harmonie exemplaire au sein d’une nouvelle unité transfrontalière, les « Middle Shires ». Toutefois, ceci était davantage l’expression de la vision qu’avait Jacques de l’union politique de l’Écosse et de l’Angleterre, contredite par la séparation effective des organisations frontalières écossaise et anglaise, et qui a duré jusqu’en 1624. Cet article examine les transformations de la loi et du crime dans les régions frontalières, ainsi que la détérioration de la perception qu’avait le gouvernement de ces frontières. Those confining places which were the Borders of the two Kingdomes, where here- tofore much blood was shed, and many of your ancestours lost their lives; yea, that lay waste and desolate, and were habitations but for runnagates, are now become the Navell or Umbilick of both Kingdomes […] where there was nothing before […] but bloodshed, oppressions, complaints and outcries, they now live every man peaceably under his owne figgetree […] The Marches beyond and on this side Twede, are as fruitfull and as peaceable as most parts of England.1 o James declared in March 1607 to the English parliament as its members dis- Scussed the merits of union.

  • How English Baptists Changed the Early Modern Toleration Debate
    RADICALLY [IN]TOLERANT: HOW ENGLISH BAPTISTS CHANGED THE EARLY MODERN TOLERATION DEBATE Caleb Morell Dr. Amy Leonard Dr. Jo Ann Moran Cruz This research was undertaken under the auspices of Georgetown University and was submitted in partial fulfillment for Honors in History at Georgetown University. MAY 2016 I give permission to Lauinger Library to make this thesis available to the public. ABSTRACT The argument of this thesis is that the contrasting visions of church, state, and religious toleration among the Presbyterians, Independents, and Baptists in seventeenth-century England, can best be explained only in terms of their differences over Covenant Theology. That is, their disagreements on the ecclesiological and political levels were rooted in more fundamental disagreements over the nature of and relationship between the biblical covenants. The Baptists developed a Covenant Theology that diverged from the dominant Reformed model of the time in order to justify their practice of believer’s baptism. This precluded the possibility of a national church by making baptism, upon profession of faith, the chief pre- requisite for inclusion in the covenant community of the church. Church membership would be conferred not upon birth but re-birth, thereby severing the links between infant baptism, church membership, and the nation. Furthermore, Baptist Covenant Theology undermined the dominating arguments for state-sponsored religious persecution, which relied upon Old Testament precedents and the laws given to kings of Israel. These practices, the Baptists argued, solely applied to Israel in the Old Testament in a unique way that was not applicable to any other nation. Rather in the New Testament age, Christ has willed for his kingdom to go forth not by the power of the sword but through the preaching of the Word.

  • Early Modern Catholicism and Its Historiography: Innovation, Revitalization, and Integration
    Early modern Catholicism and its historiography: innovation, revitalization, and integration Tellingly, the editors of a recent volume on early modern English Catholicism remark on how this ‘historiographical subfield’ has been revitalized and transformed into a ‘lively arena of scholarly enquiry’.1 Similar developments can be discerned in other countries where Catholicism became a minority faith during the early modern period, such as the Netherlands, too. To be sure, in the Catholic heartlands of Europe the scholarly investigation of early modern Catholicism is dynamic and forward moving as well, in some cases due to the (greater) accessibility of store-houses of historical treasures such as the rich archives of the Congregation of the Council.2 In general the subfield of early modern Catholicism has been transformed by several long-term developments.3 First, whereas the study of Catholicism used to be largely the domain of Catholics lay and religious, after the Second Vatican Council (1962–5) an increasing number of scholars from various religious and non-religious backgrounds freely started to subject early modern Catholicism to academic scrutiny, thereby making use of an ever-expanding toolbox of sources, concepts, and methodologies. Secondly, the study of early modern Catholicism has been expanded through the inclusion of a larger number of topics due to the influence of adjacent fields of scholarly inquiry, such as women’s and gender history, leading to the interest in, for example, female Catholic religious, a topic that still is studied intensively to this day.4 Lastly, because of the global turn Catholicism is increasingly examined from a mondial and comparative perspective, highlighting the vibrancy and diversity of this world religion.5 This essay outlines several larger historiographical transformations and assesses two concepts (identity and I am very grateful to Jan Machielsen and the two anonymous readers for their comments on earlier versions of this article.

Blakemore and James Davey The Maritime World of Early Modern Britain The Maritime World of Early Modern Britain Maritime Humanities, 1400-1800: Cultures of the Sea Early modern oceans not only provided temperate climates, resources, and opportunities for commercial exchange, they also played a central role in cultural life. Increased exploration, travel, and trade, marked this period of history, and early modern seascapes were cultural spaces and contact zones, where connections and circulations occurred outside established centres of control and the dictates of individual national histories. Likewise, coastlines, rivers, and ports were all key sites for commercial and cultural exchange. Interdisciplinary in its approach, Maritime Humanities, 1400–1800: Cultures of the Sea publishes books that conceptually engage with issues of globalization, post- colonialism, eco-criticism, environmentalism, and the histories of science and technology. The series puts maritime humanities at the centre of a transnational historiographical scholarship that seeks to transform traditional land-based histories of states and nations by focusing on the cultural meanings of the early modern ocean.

  • University Microfilms 300 North Zaeb Road Ann Arbor
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
