Quidditas 35 (2014) 177 John Bale’s Kynge Johan as English Nationalist Propaganda G. D. George Prince George’s County Public Schools Prince George’s Community College John Bale is generally associated with the English Reformation rather than the Tudor government. It may be that Bale’s well-know protestant polemics tend to overshadow his place in Thomas Cromwell’s propaganda machine, and that Bale’s Kynge Johan is more a propaganda piece for the Tudor monarchy than it is just another of his Protestant dramas.. Introduction On 2 January, 1539, a “petie and nawghtely don enterlude,” that “put down the Pope and Saincte Thomas” was presented at Canterbury.1 Beyond the fact that a four hundred sixty-one year old play from Tudor England remains extant in any form, this particular “enterlude,” John Bale’s play Kynge Johan,2 remains of particular interest to scholars for some see Johan as meriting “a particular place in the history of the theatre. -

The Account Book of a Marian Bookseller, 1553-4
THE ACCOUNT BOOK OF A MARIAN BOOKSELLER, 1553-4 JOHN N. KING MS. EGERTON 2974, fois. 67-8, preserves in fragmentary form accounts from the day-book of a London stationer who was active during the brief interval between the death on 6 July 1553 of Edward VI, whose regents allowed unprecedented liberty to Protestant authors, printers, publishers, and booksellers, and the reimposition of statutory restraints on publication by the government of Queen Mary. The entries for dates, titles, quantities, paper, and prices make it clear that the leaves come from a bookseller's ledger book. Their record of the articles sold each day at the stationer's shop provides a unique view of the London book trade at an unusually turbulent point in the history of English publishing. Before they came into the holdings of the British Museum, the two paper leaves (fig. i) were removed from a copy of William Alley's The poore mans librarie (1565) that belonged to Thomas Sharpe of Coventry. They are described as having been pasted at the end ofthe volume *as a fly leaf, and after their removal, William Hamper enclosed them as a gift in a letter of 17 March 1810 to the Revd Thomas Frognall Dibdin (MS. Egerton 2974, fois. 62, 64). The leaves are unevenly trimmed, but each measures approximately 376 x 145 mm overall. Because of their format they are now bound separately, but they formed part of a group of letters to Dibdin purchased loose and later bound in the Museum, so they belong together with MS. -

The Early Development of Geography As A
THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AS A “SUBJECT OF INSTRUCTION” AND THE ORIGINS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AT THE MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND, 1946-1963 ALAN G. MACPHERSON Professor Emeritus (c) Department of Geography The Memorial University of Newfoundland June 2000 The Memorial University College opened its doors in St John’s on September 15, 1925, as a memorial to the Newfoundlanders who fell in the First World War. Although the college calendar had listed Geography as a Grade XI science option for admission since 1933, Geography did not appear among the “Subjects of Instruction” until 1946. The first appointment — in the person of Harold Goodridge — was somewhat fortuitous: Goodridge had been approached by members of the Board of Trustees in June that year to see if he would be interested in filling a vacancy in Art, but he had demurred on the grounds that he did not have “proper academic qualifications for such a post, besides he is qualified in Geography.” It had then been argued that he might be engaged as a part-time lecturer in Geography on the grounds that “The subject is not taught well, or given a humanistic approach in our schools, and the College would render a worthwhile service to the teachers of this subject by expanding to include Geography. .... a first class Geographer would be a great asset to College and Country.” In the calendar for 1947-1948 H.B. Goodridge, M.A. (Cantab.), F.R.G.S., appeared for the first time in the Faculty List for 1946-1947 as Special Lecturer in Geography; the designation implied his part-time position — a status which he retained until 1951 when he became Lecturer in Geography. -
Clerical Marriage and Royal Authority in John Bale's Three Laws James

Permyt prestes rather Gods lawfull remedye, Than they shuld incurre most bestyall Sodomye. Regarde not the Pope, nor yet hys whorysh kyngedom For he is master of Gomor and of Sodome. [1] (773-9) The message is apparently simple enough; that priests will inevitably fall to sexual immorality if made to follow the hypocritical teaching of the Catholic Church. Catholicism forced priests to remain celibate, but this was merely an official line that was frequently ignored, according to Protestant critics such as Bale and Robert Barnes. [2] The attack here is, therefore, as elsewhere in Bale’s work, on an unfulfilled “act” of a theatrical religion, as opposed to a genuine manifestation of meaningful faith. A direct connection is thus made between the Pope’s “whorysh kyngedom” and the Biblical precedent ofSodom and Gomorrah to draw upon, and to extend, the Protestant interpretation of Revelation as Christian history. -
Regional Geography and Quantitative Geography: Compare and Contrast
Regional vs. Quantitative Geography—Maryam Khabazi January 2018 Regional Geography and Quantitative Geography: Compare and Contrast Maryam Khabazi PhD Candidate in Geography and Urban Regional Analysis University of North Carolina at Charlotte January 2018 Compare and Contrast: Regional geography emerged in the first half of the 20th century by Hartshorne (1939), the father of regional geography. In his influential book, the nature of geography, he looked back to historical texts and based his claim on the study of nineteenth- and twentieth-century German Geographers like Hettner, Kant, and Humboldt (Hartshorne, 1958). There were other geographers who contributed to the area study before Hartshorne including Fenneman, Preston James, Robert Platt, and their students (Taaffe, 1974). But it was Hartshorne that gave rise to the concept of regional geography. One of the most important works of Hartshorne was translating Hettner’s work from German to English. Borrowing the idea of Hettner, Hartshorne asserts that geography is about the study of areal differentiation, and in the center of regional geography is the study of unique places. Places or regions are unique, and the geographer’s responsibility is to describe these unique places. Geographers need to know the phenomena within each specific place and familiarized themselves with the intertwined relationships of these things including soils, slopes in mountain areas, urban settlement, rivers, roads, and railroads. Geography is “the product of man’s effort to know and understand the combinations of phenomena as they exist in areal interrelation in his world” (Hartshorne, 1958). Geography, as defined by regional geography, is not like social or natural sciences. -
The Elizabethan Protestant Press: a Study of the Printing and Publishing of Protestant Literature in English
THE ELIZABETHAN PROTESTANT PRESS: A STUDY OF THE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING OF PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS LITERATURE IN ENGLISH, EXCLUDING BIBLES AND LITURGIES, 1558-1603. By WILLIAN CALDERWOOD, M.A., B.D. Submitted for the Ph.D. degree, University College. (c\ (LONBI 2 ABSTRACT Uninterrupted for forty-five years, from 1558 to 1603, Protestants in England were able to use the printing press to disseminate Protestant ideology. It was a period long enough for Protestantism to root itself deeply in the life of the nation and to accumulate its own distinctive literature. English Protestantism, like an inf ant vulnerable to the whim of a parent under King Henry VIII, like a headstrong and erratic child in Edward's reign, and like a sulking, chastised youth in the Marian years, had come of age by the end of the Elizabethan period. At the outset of Elizabeth's reign the most pressing religious need was a clear, well-reasoned defence of the Church of England. The publication of Bishop Jewel's Apologia Ecclesiae Anglicanae in 1562 was a response to that need and set the tone of literary polemics for the rest of the period. It was a time of muscle- flexing for the Elizabethan Church, and especially in the opening decades, a time when anti-Catholicism was particularly vehement. Consistently throughout the period, when Queen and country were threatened by Catholic intrigues and conspiracies, literature of exceptional virulence was published against Catholicism. But just as the press became an effective tool for defenders and apologists of the Church of England, it soon was being used as an instrument to advance the cause of further reform by more radical Protestants. -

Dando University of Nebraska at Omaha Karen Morin's Civic Discipline: Geography in America, 1860–1890 examines nineteenth-century American geography practices outside of academia and the contributions of Charles P. Daly, New York judge and American Geographical Society (AGS) president. Daly was not an academic geographer yet had tremendous influence over public geographic knowledge, impacting the actions of many actors on many stages. Civic Discipline is not a biography but rather “a sociology of Charles Daly's geography—a social geography,” illuminating an area frequently ignored in geography's history: the ways in which Daly and the AGS impacted the American geographical imagination (p.
