It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them. -
Part Two Patrons and Printers
PART TWO PATRONS AND PRINTERS CHAPTER VI PATRONAGE The Significance of Dedications The Elizabethan period was a watershed in the history of literary patronage. The printing press had provided a means for easier publication, distribution and availability of books; and therefore a great patron, the public, was accessible to all authors who managed to get Into print. In previous times there were too many discourage- ments and hardships to be borne so that writing attracted only the dedicated and clearly talented writer. In addition, generous patrons were not at all plentiful and most authors had to be engaged in other occupations to make a living. In the last half of the sixteenth century, a far-reaching change is easily discernible. By that time there were more writers than there were patrons, and a noticeable change occurred In the relationship between patron and protge'. In- stead of a writer quietly producing a piece of literature for his patron's circle of friends, as he would have done in medieval times, he was now merely one of a crowd of unattached suitors clamouring for the favours and benefits of the rich. Only a fortunate few were able to find a patron generous enough to enable them to live by their pen. 1 Most had to work at other vocations and/or cultivate the patronage of the public and the publishers. •The fact that only a small number of persons had more than a few works dedicated to them indicates the difficulty in finding a beneficent patron. An examination of 568 dedications of religious works reveals that only ten &catees received more than ten dedications and only twelve received between four and nine. -
The Opening of the Atlantic World: England's
THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII By LYDIA TOWNS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Imre Demhardt, Supervising Professor John Garrigus Kathryne Beebe Alan Gallay ABSTRACT THE OPENING OF THE ATLANTIC WORLD: ENGLAND’S TRANSATLANTIC INTERESTS DURING THE REIGN OF HENRY VIII Lydia Towns, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Imre Demhardt This dissertation explores the birth of the English Atlantic by looking at English activities and discussions of the Atlantic world from roughly 1481-1560. Rather than being disinterested in exploration during the reign of Henry VIII, this dissertation proves that the English were aware of what was happening in the Atlantic world through the transnational flow of information, imagined the potentials of the New World for both trade and colonization, and actively participated in the opening of transatlantic trade through transnational networks. To do this, the entirety of the Atlantic, all four continents, are considered and the English activity there analyzed. This dissertation uses a variety of methods, examining cartographic and literary interpretations and representations of the New World, familial ties, merchant networks, voyages of exploration and political and diplomatic material to explore my subject across the social strata of England, giving equal weight to common merchants’ and scholars’ perceptions of the Atlantic as I do to Henry VIII’s court. Through these varied methods, this dissertation proves that the creation of the British Atlantic was not state sponsored, like the Spanish Atlantic, but a transnational space inhabited and expanded by merchants, adventurers and the scholars who created imagined spaces for the English. -

Printing Identities: Studies in Social Bibliography and Social
PRINTING IDENTITIES: STUDIES IN SOCIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL NETWORKS IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND’S PRINT CULTURE by WARD RISVOLD (Under the Direction of Fredric Dolezal) ABSTRACT Over the last century scholars have privileged the “author” or have privileged the text, when trying to interpret the meaning of a literary artifact. Even more historically minded scholars have tended to focus on the context or the cultural milieu surrounding the author or a text, but scholars rarely consider the semiotic value of the printers and the booksellers listed on a title page. My dissertation addresses this absence in literary scholarship by examining the relationships or social networks that connect the printed artifacts to the people involved in their production. My argument asserts that early modern English writers, printers, and booksellers often shared ideological beliefs and that these shared beliefs can tell us something about the text they produced. My method combines traditional archival research with the technology used in Social Network Analysis. By running large databases, such as Early English Books Online, English Short Title Catalogue, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, through social network software, my research was able to visualize large and small social networks that might otherwise go unnoticed when using traditional methods. My dissertation avers that the printer of a text matters to our understanding of the literary work. For instance, I argue that Edmund Spenser employs Hugh Singleton, a known radical Protestant and Marian exile, to print the Shepheardes Calender, because Spenser wants to align himself with the Protestant faction with whom Singleton is associated. Through an examination of Singleton’s network, a much more politically radical poem begins to emerge. -

Previously called Awelton and in 1291 Aulton in Southbury. Lack states: 'The Manor of Alton Pancras in Dorset was part of the pre-Conquest episcopal estates of Sherborne. By c.1150 two prebends were probably in existence. In the 1220s these were called 'Awelton arch[idiaconi], and 'Awelton', while both were called 'Awelton' without distinction in 1226. In 1284 the names were 'Awelton Sancti Pancratii' and 'Awelton', while in 1291 there was a distinction between 'Aulton in Southbury', later Australis, and 'Aulton in Northbury', later Borealis. From 1329, the holders of the prebends can certainly be distinguished and can be traced back to 1297 but for the purpose of the earlier succession in the prebends, 'Alton Pancras' is taken to be Alton Australis and 'Alton Archidiaconi' to be Borealis' (pp.64 and 87). 1 PR/AA/1 item Fragment of a Deed nd [late 13th- Fragment of a deed.

Bishop John Jewel and the Catholicity of the Church of England, 1535-1599
‘Because Thy God Loves England’: Bishop John Jewel and the Catholicity of the Church of England, 1535-1599 Angela May Ranson Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of History October 2013 2 Abstract John Jewel (Bishop of Salisbury 1559-1571) became the champion of the Church of England mere months after the formation of the Elizabethan religious settlement. He preached a sermon at Paul’s Cross that challenged the Roman Church to prove that certain traditions had existed in the early church; a strategy that allowed him to portray the Church of England as the true inheritor of the apostolic church, due to its pure doctrine and right administration of the sacraments. This sermon started a decade of controversy, which influenced the development of demarcation lines between the Church of Rome and the Church of England. This thesis argues that Jewel’s work as a polemicist and apologist for the Church of England was a key factor in the development of a Protestant self-identity for the Church of England. Using a unique methodology and a vast knowledge of patristic and Biblical sources, Jewel re-defined the term ‘catholic’ in a way that enabled him to argue for the catholicity of the Church of England while still separating it from the Catholic Church. He gave the English Church authority and legitimacy by portraying it as both part of the true universal church, and yet distinctly English. Drawing on Jewel’s own works, as well as the works of the men who fought for and against him, this thesis demonstrates that Jewel made a significant contribution to the establishment of the Church of England as a national institution. -
