  • (Re)Defining the English Reformation
    (Re)defining the English Reformation Peter Marshall he study of the Reformation has arguably never been in better shape, Tas new books and articles appear with dizzying regularity. The current rude good health of the subject can be substantiated by a few minutes spent with the catalog of the British Library. A title keyword search under “Ref- ormation” produces 490 items for the 1960s, dipping to 449 for the 1970s. But in the 1980s, this shoots up to 656 and remains at almost exactly that level through the 1990s. In the new century up to the end of 2007, no fewer than 563 books with the word “Reformation” in the title have been published and deposited at the British Library. Moreover, the concerns of Reformation history and theology are now regularly cropping up in places where they have not been much in evidence before: in art history, musicology, and literary studies, for example. To point to just one particular case, the study of William Shakespeare—always a reliable ba- rometer of Anglo-American cultural and academic preoccupations—has taken a decidedly religious turn over recent years, in which questions of the meaning and impact of the Reformation are very much to the fore.1 The collective problem faced by students of the Reformation, if indeed we have a problem, is not therefore one of nurturing a tender and precarious plant, struggling to thrive in stony and unyielding historical soil. Rather, it is the challenge of maintaining order and coherence in a large and untidy garden, alive with luxuriant foliage, periodic col- orful blooms, and a smattering of undesirable weeds.

  • Reading List:The English Reformation C1527-1590
    The English Reformation c1527-1590 How did state and people respond to religious change? This is a full, but by no mean comprehensive, reading list for the Reformation, covering England, Wales and Ireland. The material is mixed: some of the items are paperback books, most (though, unfortunately not all) of which are relatively reasonably priced. Many items, however, are journal articles which you will primarily find in, or via, a university library (it is possible to ‘rent’ or buy access to individual journal articles through the publishers’ websites, but this can be pricey). Many institutions now offer access to JSTOR (the main repository of journal articles online) to alumni for free; some institutions (like my own) also offer access to teachers in the local area. So it is worth exploring both of these options. Remember that JSTOR has a ‘moving wall’ of usually five years – in other words, you will only get access to articles that were published five or more years ago. However, if you have full access to a university’s library, you can usually get access to more recent material through the journal’s publishers itself, e.g. Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press (although via the library catalogue). As with all things, what is available is dependent on what subscriptions the university has (and journal subscriptions are very expensive) and whether journals have digitised their back issues (most have by now). Generally, these lists are organised with general/introductory material at the beginning of each section and then more specialised material later on. Some of the larger topics are broken down into subsections (organised on the same basis).

There are nine articles and seventeen learned reviews, the former being almost equally divided between literary studies and archaeology. An interesting article by Bruno Bleckmann seeks to identify the anonymous Vita BHG 365 with a missing fragment of Philostorgius’ Church history relating to the first conflict between Constantine and Licinius in 315–16. Altay Coskun provides a detailed account of the long-running and blood-stained conflict between Pope Damasus and his rival Ursinus in 366–73, and analyses the motives and actions of successive praefecti Viventius and Maximinus in supporting Damasus. Zahi Hawass and Gawdat Gabra describe the excavation of a Coptic hermitage at Mansouria, in an extension of the western desert, 25 km north of the Giza pyramids.

  • The Afterlife of the Dissolution of the English
    “A Pitiful Thing”? The Afterlife of the Dissolution of the English Monasteries in Early Modern Chronicles, c. 1540 – c. 1640 Harriet Lyon Christ’s College, University of Cambridge ABSTRACT: Modern scholarship on the dissolution of the monasteries (1536-40) has paid little attention to how it was remembered by those who witnessed it or to the evolution of this memory in subsequent generations. Speaking to a growing interest in the memory of the Reformation, this article explores the afterlife of the dissolution in early modern chronicles, which have too often been themselves neglected as an outdated genre of historical writing. It focuses on three interrelated texts: Charles Wriothesley's manuscript chronicle, John Stow's “Annales of England” (1592), and Edmund Howes's editions of the “Annales” (1615, 1631). Using this case study, the article traces how the cultural memory of the dissolution was transformed according to the proclivities of individual chroniclers and with the changing preoccupations of successive generations. In doing so, it suggests the conventional historiography has fallen victim to Henrician narratives of the expediency and insignificance of the dissolution. Contemporary memorializing practices, it contends, may provide the key to recovering its significance as one of the most controversial events of the Henrician Reformation. * * * 2 The dissolution of the monasteries was one of the earliest and most visible manifestations of the Reformation in England. Yet despite its transformative effect on religious, social, and cultural life, historians have paid little attention to how the events of 1536-40 were remembered by those who experienced them or to the evolution of this memory in subsequent generations.
