  • The Movement for the Reformation of Manners, 1688-1715
    THE MOVEMENT FOR THE REFORMATION OF MANNERS, 1688-1715 ANDREW GORDON CRAIG 1980 (reset and digitally formatted 2015) PREFACE TO THE 2015 VERSION This study was completed in the pre-digital era and since then has been relatively inaccessible to researchers. To help rectify that, the 1980 typescript submitted for the degree of PhD from Edinburgh University has been reset and formatted in Microsoft “Word” and Arial 12pt as an easily readable font and then converted to a read-only PDF file for circulation. It is now more compact than the original typescript version and fully searchable. Some minor typographical errors have been corrected but no material published post-1980 has been added except in the postscript (see below). Pagination in the present version does not correspond to the original because of computerised resetting of the text. Footnotes in this version are consecutive throughout, rather than chapter by chapter as required in the 1980 version. The original bound copy is lodged in Edinburgh University Library. A PDF scan of it is available at https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk /bitstream/handle/1842/6840/254333.pdf A further hand-corrected copy is available together with my research archive in the Special Collections Department at St Andrews University Library. http://www.st- andrews.ac.uk/library/specialcollections/ A note for researchers interested in the movement for the reformation of manners 1688-1715 and afterwards has been added as a postscript which lists other studies which have utilised this work and its sources in various ways. I am grateful to the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland for its generous scholarship support while a research student at Edinburgh University undertaking this study in the 1970s and to the following for their encouragement, guidance and support during the creation and completion of this research.

  • Értekezés (Arnobius: Adversus Nationes )
    Doktori (PhD) értekezés KISS SEBESTYÉN APULEIUS CHRISTIANUS ? (Arnobius: Adversus nationes ) Debreceni Egyetem BTK 2006 1. BEVEZETÉS Minucius Felix Octavius cím ő dialógusa az egyik leggyakrabban kiadott és legtöbbször kommentált keresztény írás. Fennmaradását annak a különös véletlennek köszönheti, hogy az Octavius – octavus szó felcserélése folytán a m ővet az id ısebb Arnobius Adversus nationes cím ő munkája 8. könyvének tekintették. Arnobius m őveként is publikálták el ıször 1543-ban, de csak 1560-ban jelent meg az antik utalások nyomán eredeti címén, Minucius Felix munkájaként. A két m ő egymással szorosan egybeforrt szöveghagyományozódása jó alkalmat kínált arra, hogy a Debreceni Egyetem „Latin szöveghagyomány – Római civilizáció” cím ő doktori programjában Arnobius munkája vizsgálat tárgya legyen. Számomra azért is t őnt érdekesnek a téma, mert a két szóban forgó m ő mindössze két kéziratban maradt ránk, és miközben az Octavius szövegkritikai irodalma az évszázadok során könyvtárnyi terjedelm ővé b ıvült, addig az Adversus nationes szövege csak a 19. század második felét ıl kezdve vonta igazán magára a filológusok figyelmét. A különös szöveghagyományozódáson túl Arnobius azért is felkeltette érdekl ıdésemet, mert m őve nem tartozik a legismertebb ókeresztény alkotások közé. Mindenesetre már az eddigi kutatások is élesen rávilágítottak arra, hogy ez a Kr. u. 3- 4. század fordulóján elkészült apologétikus írás különös, mondhatni köztes helyet foglal el a latin nyelv ő keresztény irodalomban. Szerz ıje hevesen védelmezi a kereszténységet, amelyet úgyszólván alig ismer, s ezzel párhuzamosan kíméletlenül, szarkasztikusan ostorozza a pogány vallásokat, melyeket viszont rendkívül részletesen és informatívan az olvasó elé tár. Arnobius megtéréséig retorikaprofesszorként tevékenykedett az afrikai Sicca Veneriában. A munka messzemen ıen tükrözi a rétor széleskör ő m őveltségét, aki a pogány mitológia területén igen alapos ismeretekkel rendelkezett.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • Bishop Joseph Hall, 1574-1656 an ECUMENICAL CALVINIST CHURCHMAN
    Bishop Joseph Hall, 1574-1656 AN ECUMENICAL CALVINIST CHURCHMAN BY MICHAEL W. DEWAR F seventeenth century Anglican divines few have had a " worse O press", and with less justification, than Joseph Hall. Neither a Laudian nor a Puritan, he had the misfortune to live in the age of transition between the Elizabethans and the Carolines. While some of these J acobeans survived to emerge as " Arminians ", Hall lived on as an Anglican Calvinist, which had not before been a contradiction in terms. Most of the Elizabethans had been Calvinians, and only the growth of a new school of non-church Puritans made those who were " doctrinal Calvinists " suspect as Calvinistic in discipline. 1 Such as Bishop Hall, too honest to desert their old doctrines and too liberal to join with the fanatics, were in an unhappy position. Few stood more courageously for Protestant principles vis-a-vis the Church of Rome, and none stood more determinedly for Catholic order against the rising tide of Puritanism. Such men were an enigma, as they always must be, to the novi homines of the dominant Laudian party, paradoxically called " Arminians ". "Paradoxically," because the original Dutch Arminians were essentially Calvinists, though moderate ones; and were essentially a liberal " brotherhood ", or " fellowship " rather than a Church.• It is significant that their present day descendants, the Netherlands Remonstrants, have affiliated with the International Congregational Council rather than with the World Presbyterian Alliance of Reformed Churches. It is only very recently that the two have been amalga­ mated. A Scholar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, an Elizabethan foundation with a strong "Puritan" tradition, Joseph Hall was appointed as the first Headmaster of Blundell's School, Tiverton, Devon, by his friend Lord Chief Justice Popham, who presided over the trial of the Gunpowder Plotters three years later (1606).

"EGO, SCRIPTOR CANTILENAE": THE CANTOS AND EZRA POUND An Abstract of a Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Philosophy Steven R. Gulick University of Northern Iowa August 1991 ABSTRACT Can poetry "make new" the world? Ezra Pound thought so. In "Cantico del Sole" he said: "The thought of what America would be like/ If the Classics had a wide circulation/ Troubles me in my sleep" (Personae 183). He came to write an 815 page poem called The Cantos in which he presents "fragments" drawn from the literature and documents of the past in an attempt to build a new world, "a paradiso terreste" (The Cantos 802). This may be seen as either a noble gesture or sheer egotism. Pound once called The Cantos the "tale of the tribe" (Guide to Kulchur 194), and I believe this is so, particularly if one associates this statement with Allen Ginsberg's concerning The Cantos as a model of a mind, "like all our minds" (Ginsberg 14-16).

  • Ezra Pound's Odyssey
    SYMBOLAE PHILOLOGORUM POSNANIENSIUM GRAECAE ET LATINAE XXVII/2 • 2017 pp. 103–112. ISSN 0302-7384 dOI: 10.14746/sppgl.2017.XXVII.2.8 Gerson SchadE Frei Universität Berlin The son of Homer – Ezra Pound’S odyssey abstraCt. Schade Gerson, The Son of Homer – Ezra Pound’s Odyssey (Syn Homera – ‘Odyseja’ Ezry Pounda). Ezra Pound was obsessed with Ulysses. He identified with him throughout his Cantos, a work Pound opens by stealthily reworking a passage from an obscure 16th-century Latin translation of Homer’s Odyssey. The son of Homer Pound, Ezra led a Ulyssean life in various senses – leaving his home country only to return after his adventures, simulating madness, telling lies. He shares the lying and the way of life with his contemporary Lawrence of Arabia. Both translated the Odyssey and both, like Ulysses, lost all their friends (or alienated nearly everyone). All three were much despised for their habits, Ulysses in general by the Greek classical tragedians, Pound in particular by George Orwell, and Lawrence by practically everybody. keywords: multi-layered intertextuality; Alfred Tennyson; Andreas divus Justinopolitanus; Palamedes. I don’t know that one can read any trans. of the Odyssey. Perhaps you could read book XI.

Ezra Pound, Letter to Iris Barry, London July 1916 (Paige 1951: 137) Prologue “Pound seems to have plumped definitely for Fascism, at any rate the Italian variety” George Orwell stated in 1940.1 And Pound was not alone.
