Newkome, Ph.D. ____________________________ ____________________________ Faculty Reader Date Howard Ducharme, Ph.D. ____________________________ Faculty Reader Matthew Crawford, Ph.D. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is about death and its relationship to religion in late seventeenth- century England. The primary argument is that while beliefs about death stemmed from the Reformation tradition, divergent religious reforms of Puritanism and Arminianism did not lead to differing approaches to death. People adapted religious ideas on general terms of Protestant Christianity and not specifically aligned with varying reform movements. This study links apologetics and sermons concerning spiritual death, physical death, and remedies for each to cultural practice through the lens of wills and graves to gauge religious influence. Readers are reminded of the origins of reformed thought, which is what seventeenth-century English theologians built their ideas upon. Religious debates of the day centered on the Puritan and Arminian divide, which contained significantly different ideas of soteriology, a key aspect of a good death in the English ars moriendi.

  • Geoffrey Best
    GEOFFREY BEST Geoffrey Francis Andrew Best 20 November 1928 – 14 January 2018 elected Fellow of the British Academy 2003 by BOYD HILTON Fellow of the Academy Restless and energetic, Geoffrey Best moved from one subject area to another, estab- lishing himself as a leading historian in each before moving decisively to the next. He began with the history of the Anglican Church from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, then moved by turns to the economy and society of Victorian Britain, the history of peace movements and the laws of war, European military history and the life of Winston Churchill. He was similarly peripatetic in terms of institutional affili- ation, as he moved from Cambridge to Edinburgh, then Sussex, and finally Oxford. Although his work was widely and highly praised, he remained self-critical and could never quite believe in his own success. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XIX, 59–84 Posted 28 April 2020. © British Academy 2020. GEOFFREY BEST Few historians write their autobiography, but since Geoffrey Best did A Life of Learning must be the starting-point for any appraisal of his personal life.1 It is a highly readable text—engaging, warm-hearted and chatty like the man himself—but inevit- ably it invites interrogation. For example, there is the problem of knowing when the author is describing how he felt on past occasions and when he is ruminating about those feelings in retrospect. In the latter mode he writes that he has ‘never ceased to be surprised by repeatedly discovering how ignorant, wrong and naïve I have been about people and institutions, and still am’ (p.

  • What Is National Biography For? Dictionaries and Digital History Philip Carter
    4 WHAT IS NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY FOR? DICTIONARIES AND DIGITAL HISTORY PHILIP CARTER Ask the purpose of national biography and you may be forgiven for thinking this an easier question for previous generations to answer. In June 1900 the original British Dictionary of National Biography (DNB) reached its completion with the publication of a 63rd and final volume— an event hailed as a triumph by reviewers and compilers alike. For the Pall Mall Gazette, this was ‘the best dictionary of home biography possessed of any nation’, while the Athenaeum championed ‘our British lexicographers’ who ‘have had the satisfaction of administering a handsome beating to their most formidable rivals, the Germans’.1 The DNB’s editor at the time was the Elizabethan literary scholar Sidney Lee, who had driven the project on during the 1890s and infused it with an enhanced degree of scholarly rigour. Lee celebrated the Dictionary’s completion in similarly confident fashion, praising an ‘undertaking of exceptional magnitude in the history of publishing’ that was more extensive, coherent, and rapidly produced than ‘cyclopaedias of national 1 Quoted in Keith Thomas, Changing Conceptions of National Biography: TheOxford DNB in Historical Perspective (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005), 27. doi.org/10.1017/CBO 9780511497582; ‘Dictionary of National Biography. Edited by Sidney Lee—Vol. LXII’, Athenaeum, 14 July 1900, 45, quoted in Juliette Atkinson, Victorian Biography Reconsidered: A Study of Nineteenth-Century ‘Hidden’ Lives (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010), 231. doi.org/10.1093/ acprof:oso/9780199572137.001.0001. 57 ‘TRUE Biographies of Nations?’ biography abroad’, including those of Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United States of America, and again Germany.
