Morton was arrested by the Plymouth Colony in June i628 on the charge of providing Indians with firearms, and in September, the Puritan John Endicott went to refbrm the leaderless Merry Mount after Morton had been sent back to England. was a confrontation scene between Anglicans The maypole incident and Puritzns. Hawthorne's tale drastically re-textualizes the original incident in two ways. First, it is not Morton, but an Anglican priest, Blackstone, who presides over the May festival. Morton does not appear in Hawthorne's story at all. Secondly, Hawthorne's May festival centers on the fictional marriage of Edgar and Edith, the Lord and Lady of the May at the maypole, which Endicott cuts down. the note to this tale, explains briefly the In prefatory Hawthorne relationship between the historical maypole incident and his literary "philosophic "the fiction: i) this romance" is based on curious "; history of the early settlement of Mount Wollaston, or Merry Mount " z) the history was originally recorded on the gtave pages of our New the Micro- In preparing this papet, I am especially indebted to the Rare Book Division and fbrm Division of the Libtaty of Congress in the United States.

The litefaty context of " May-Pole of Merry Mount is not, as Hawthorne himself out, "actual" points the incident at Merry Mount in i627 but a series of New England historians' texts. With these narratives as his point of depar- ture, Hawthorne re--textualizes the history as an allegory. V7hat I wish to discuss here is the relation between Hawthorne's story and American historiography, and I would like to proceed by answering three questions : firstly, what kind of narratives did American historiography resort to when interpteting the showdown between Anglicans and Puritans; secondly, what ideological conditions caused Hawthorne to re-textualize the history of the maypole incident in i8s6; and, finally, how does Hawthorne's narrative function in relation to history ? " " First of all we need to identify the New England annalists and " their works which Hawthotne says he has re-textualized in The IMay- Pole of Merry Mount." The original insctiptions of the incident were made by the ringleader who was responsible for setting up the maypole, Thomas Morton, a selfiproclaimed Royalist and supporter of the Church of England, and by William Bradfbrd, a Separatist Puritan and Governor of the Plymouth Plantation, who later sent Captain Myles Standish to atrest Morton. Thomas Motton's Nkeav EiagIXslJ (anaan was published in Amsterdam in i637, but in America it did not appear publicly until it came out as part of Peter Force's Tleacts in i8s8, two " years after the publication of The May-Pole of Merry Mount." As J. Gary Williams says, there must have existed not fewer than two copies of Morton's book in America before i838 and Hawthorne him- self could have read N17av Ei(glish dauaan.2 However, my focus here is not on whether Hawthotne actually read it, but on the fact that Mor- ton's Anglican version of the maypole incident was not yet adopted by i `C Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thc May-Pole of Mcrry Mount," Twice-Teid Tales (Columbus: Ohio State UP, ig74), Subsequent p. s4. par¢ nthetical page references to this work will cotrespond to this edition. 2 " Gary ])Uilliams, History ` " J. in Hawthorne's The Maypole of Metry Mount,' Essesc I}zstitute HZsterical Cbdeefiens io8 (ig72), i78Lg･ NII-Electronic Library Service The EnglishSocietyEnglish Society of Japan Re-Narrativization of the Maypole Incident 24r American historiography at the point of Hawthome's writing. In fact, we have to wait until i883 when Charles Francis Adams' INkepm Eaginh Ckenaan of [Ilboneas Morten was published for Morton's version to appear. Until this time, William Bradfbrd's oj Pdyneoath Plantalion (i63o-i6s7) served as the ur-text of American historiography's treat- ment of the maypole incident. Since it existed only in manuscript until i8s6,i many historians after Bradfbrd's time relied on Nathaniel Morton, Bradford's nephew. Morton almost literally repeated Brad- ford's journal in his Nbew England's Meneorial (i66g), the fifth edition (Boston, i826) of which Hawthorne checked out of the Salem Athe- naeum on April 26, i828.2 According to Williams' list of history books dealing with the maypole incident Hawthorne had access to, six histories besides Bradfbtd's and!or Nathaniel Morton's can be "New identified as the works of Hawthorne's England annalists": Jeremy Belknap's Aneerionne Biagrapby, Joseph B.

They changed also the name of their place, and instead of calling it Mount Wollaston they call it Merry-mount, as if this jollity would have lasted ever. But.this continued not long, for after Morton was sent for England (as fo11ows to be declared) shortly after came over that worthy gentleman Mr. John Endecott, who brought over a patent under the broad seal fbr the govern- ment of the Massachusetts. Who, visiting those patts, caused that may- pole to be cut down and rebuked them fbr their' profaneness and admon- ished them to look there should be bettet walking. So they or others now changed the name of their place again and called it Mount Dagon.i Nathaniel Morton's New England's Meneorial (i66g) repeated almost word for word what Bradfbrd said, but Morton deliberately made one significant, erroneous change, which was to be repeated by later his- torians, until J. B. Felt set the recotd straight in Annats of Salerzg (i827). "after By omitting the sentence, Morton was sent fbr England," Nathaniel Morton ignored the time sequence, allowing Endicott to confront Thomas Morton at the scene of the maypole incident and to cut the maypole down on the spot.2 In fact, Morton was arrested in June i628, and Endicott did not arrive at New England until Septem- ber. Why did Nathaniel Morton make this deliberate change in his history?

  • Introduction Michael Hattaway
    1 Introduction Michael Hattaway What does it mean to speak of ‘the English Renaissance’? Within the parts of this volume, defining historical contexts and perspectives, the next offering readings of particular texts along with accounts of genres and modes, and the last presenting engagements with a number of critical issues and debates, we approach the question in a variety of ways. The word ‘Renaissance’ designates ‘rebirth’, a metaphor applied, from its begin- nings, to a cultural vision that originated in Italy. For the nineteenth and twentieth centuries this was projected in a magnificent synthesis by Jacob Burckhardt, The Civ- ilization of the Renaissance in Italy (1860). Burckhardt retrospectively laid out a master proposal to revive the art and learning of the classical world, to emulate the grandeur of ancient cities, to stimulate science and geographical discovery, and to produce art and literature that imitated antique models, an undertaking which was dedicated as much to the profane as to the spiritual. Rival city states of Italy required monuments to enhance their fame, and thus ensured patronage for the writers and artists who duly bequeathed to posterity the texts and great architectural and visual exemplars with which we are all familiar. Burckhardt’s categories, which rest upon notions of ‘genius’, ‘individuality’ and secularization, have percolated into all too many derivative hand- books for the period: they may not, however, fit the English experience. England did enjoy a phenomenal energizing of literature: this is an age that, tra- ditionally, has at its centre, Spenser and Sidney, Marlowe and Nashe, Shakespeare, and Jonson. Ben Jonson, exceptionally, did publish his ‘works’ in a manner befitting an author of the Renaissance, although some of the dramatic genres he used have medieval origins.

    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

    Spenser’s Method of Grace in the Legends of Holiness, Temperance, and Chastity A thesis submitted to the Graduate School Valdosta State University in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English in the Department of English of the College of Humanities and Social Science May 2020 Rachel A. Miller BA, The Baptist College of Florida, 2017 i © Copyright 2020 Rachel A. Miller All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The knights Redcrosse, Guyon, and Scudamour from The Faerie Queene are tasked with quests that curiously do not depend on wit or strength. Rather, the quests depend on each knight’s virtue and his acceptance of grace, the supreme virtue for Spenser. Through the wanderings of each knight, Spenser shows that there is a method of grace fashioned specifically for each knight’s quest both physical and spiritual that always requires the knights to reject false images of grace in exchange for God’s true grace. Grace will not abandon Gloriana’s knights, but as Guyon and Scudamour’s stubborn rejection of this virtue teaches, when grace is rejected, divine harmony, the loving cooperation between God and humanity that Redcrosse glimpses at the end of his quest, will be broken and replaced with fear and all the vices that follow it. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I: INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………….1 Spenser’s World: The Faerie Queene’s Historical Context ..............................2 Chapter 2: WHEN A CLOWNISH YOUNG MAN SLAYS A DRAGON…………..13 Redcrosse Receives His Calling………………………………………………13 Discovering Truth……………………………………………………………..16

Beers Juliet Sutherland, Sjaani and PG Distributed Proofreaders Chautauqua Reading Circle Literature FROM CHAUCER TO TENNYSON WITH TWENTY-NINE PORTRAITS AND SELECTIONS FROM THIRTY AUTHORS. BY page 1 / 403 HENRY A. BEERS _Professor of English Literature in Yale University_. [Illustration] PREFACE. In so brief a history of so rich a literature, the problem is how to get room enough to give, not an adequate impression--that is impossible--but any impression at all of the subject. To do this I have crowded out every thing but _belles lettres_. Books in philosophy, history, science, etc., however important in the history of English thought, receive the merest incidental mention, or even no mention at all. Again, I have omitted the literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, which is written in a language nearly as hard for a modern Englishman to read as German is, or Dutch. Caedmon and Cynewulf are no more a part of English literature than Vergil and Horace are of Italian. I have also left out the vernacular literature of the Scotch before the time of Burns. Up to the date of the union Scotland was a separate kingdom, and its literature had a development independent of the English, though parallel with it. In dividing the history into periods, I have followed, with some modifications, the divisions made by Mr. Stopford Brooke in his excellent little _Primer of English Literature_. A short reading course page 2 / 403 is appended to each chapter. HENRY A.

  • Shakespeare and Hospitality
    Shakespeare and Hospitality This volume focuses on hospitality as a theoretically and historically cru- cial phenomenon in Shakespeare’s work with ramifications for contempo- rary thought and practice. Drawing a multifaceted picture of Shakespeare’s numerous scenes of hospitality—with their depictions of greeting, feeding, entertaining, and sheltering—the collection demonstrates how hospital- ity provides a compelling frame for the core ethical, political, theological, and ecological questions of Shakespeare’s time and our own. By reading Shakespeare’s plays in conjunction with contemporary theory as well as early modern texts and objects—including almanacs, recipe books, hus- bandry manuals, and religious tracts—this book reimagines Shakespeare’s playworld as one charged with the risks of hosting (rape and seduction, war and betrayal, enchantment and disenchantment) and the limits of gen- erosity (how much can or should one give the guest, with what attitude or comportment, and under what circumstances?). This substantial volume maps the terrain of Shakespearean hospitality in its rich complexity, offering key historical, rhetorical, and phenomenological approaches to this diverse subject. David B.
