  • The Medieval English Borough
    THE MEDIEVAL ENGLISH BOROUGH STUDIES ON ITS ORIGINS AND CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY BY JAMES TAIT, D.LITT., LITT.D., F.B.A. Honorary Professor of the University MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS 0 1936 MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS Published by the University of Manchester at THEUNIVERSITY PRESS 3 16-324 Oxford Road, Manchester 13 PREFACE its sub-title indicates, this book makes no claim to be the long overdue history of the English borough in the Middle Ages. Just over a hundred years ago Mr. Serjeant Mere- wether and Mr. Stephens had The History of the Boroughs Municipal Corporations of the United Kingdom, in three volumes, ready to celebrate the sweeping away of the medieval system by the Municipal Corporation Act of 1835. It was hardly to be expected, however, that this feat of bookmaking, good as it was for its time, would prove definitive. It may seem more surprising that the centenary of that great change finds the gap still unfilled. For half a century Merewether and Stephens' work, sharing, as it did, the current exaggera- tion of early "democracy" in England, stood in the way. Such revision as was attempted followed a false trail and it was not until, in the last decade or so of the century, the researches of Gross, Maitland, Mary Bateson and others threw a fiood of new light upon early urban development in this country, that a fair prospect of a more adequate history of the English borough came in sight. Unfortunately, these hopes were indefinitely deferred by the early death of nearly all the leaders in these investigations.

  • The Sociology of Middle English Romance: Three Late Medieval Compilers
    THE SOCIOLOGY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH ROMANCE: THREE LATE MEDIEVAL COMPILERS DISSERTATION Prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Robert Johnston, M.Litt. The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Richard Firth Green, Advisor Frank Coulson Lisa Kiser Ethan Knapp ____________________________________ Advisor English Graduate Program ABSTRACT My dissertation brings a new perspective to the study of Middle English romance by demonstrating how manuscript evidence can both enrich and challenge critical assumptions about the genre. The material form in which romances were encountered in the Middle Ages gives us insight into how its original readers would have encountered the genre. Such evidence should be central to our attempts to place romance within cultural history. My dissertation synthesizes the concerns of cultural history and codicology—disciplines within medieval studies that are not often considered together— by examining four compilations of late medieval romance. In each chapter, I advance an argument about the various textual interpretations suggested by the material form of a single manuscript. In particular, I examine the thematic patterns emerging across the romances within each manuscript. The main line of investigation centers on how the romances in each manuscript are arranged, and how groupings of texts encourage readers of the manuscript to attend to certain issues in the texts. I also take into account how the other (“non-romance”) texts in each manuscript affect the interpretation of each individual romance. Finally, I consider how the romances relate to, reflect and/or refract i the specific interests of their compilers and how the social position of each compiler (e.g., his class identity, his regional identity, his political affiliations) shaped the ways in which he collected and preserved his texts.

  • School History
    School History Who is Joseph R. Burgess? Why is our school called Burgess Elementary? What achievements in the Sturbridge community earned Joseph Burgess such an honor? When did the citizens of this Massachusetts town bestow the distinction of naming a school after Mr. Burgess? In my thirty‐four year tenure in the Burgess community, I never personally knew Joseph Burgess. Despite the fact that many of us could not always fully answer all of the aforementioned questions, this man's name was always held in high regard. Therefore, it seems appropriate that we all reflect back and become enlightened. Born in 1893, Joseph Reed Burgess devoted 46 years of his life to education. His initial preparation began at Bridgewater State College, but, he later pursued graduate work at both Harvard University and the University of New Hampshire. Beginning his professional career in a most simplistic manner, Joseph Burgess taught sons and daughters of fishermen in his native Rockland, Massachusetts, community. Burgess's affinity for the coast of New England is reflected in other early positions in Eastham on Cape Cod and in Sanford, Maine, in 1916. After his marriage, Burgess moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he became principal and coach at the Sawyer School. Opportunities then brought Joseph Burgess to our area ‐ first via an assistant superintendency in the Agawam‐ West Springfield‐ Ludlow schools. Next, he assumed the position of superintendent of Monson, Brimfield and Wales. Later two of those communities would join together to form the present Union 61 School District. In 1925, drawn back to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Joseph Burgess accepted the title of Nantucket's administrative leader until 1937.

The Prosperity of Edinburgh 265 CONCLUSION 286 APPENDIX 289 BIBLIOGRAPHY 306 i ABSTRACT OF THESIS While many histories of Edinburgh have been written, dealing with the architecture, folklore, culture, religion and politics of the city in the last five hundred years, little attempt has been made to chart the economic progress or to investigate the social structure of Scotland's capital. This thesis aims to illustrate the economic history of Edinburgh in the seventeenth century and to depict the urban' society of the period, largely through the exploits of its freemen, the burgess community. Edinburgh suffered its own particular disasters in a century whose middle years saw unprecedented national conflict. The accession of James VI to the English throne in 1603 removed the' Scottish king and court to London. The last visitation of bubonic plague to Scotland in 1645 removed anything up to one-third of the population of Edinburgh, its port of Leith and outlying suburbs. In addition, the city's role as capital of a rebellious kingdom ensured her twenty years of both physical turmoil and financial hardship, firstly at the hands of the Covenanters and secondly under the occupation of Cromwell.

  • Glossary of Burgh Records
    Glossary of terms found in Burgh catalogues Term Description Adjudication Adjudication was the process used against debtors to take away their heritable property. The action was raised in court and a decree registered. Assessent Rolls The Assessment formed a considerable part of the Town Council's income and was the forerunner of modern council tax. Assessment Rolls provide details of properties, their owners and occupants, in relation to who was responsible for paying certain elements of the tax. In general terms, the amount payable was calculated against the value of property and comprised various parts such as water. Valuation Rolls were the published version of the total values and amounts payable. Assignation Assignation can have several meanings. Also known as intimation, in Scots law, the means of conveyance to another of one's rights in moveable property, or ones claim for debts, or rights in land which was leased. The person who gets an assignation was called the assignee. Assize or assise Assize or assise meant the sitting of a court. Associated Bodies Associated bodies were concerned with matters closely related to official Burgh activities and many of the Burgh officials sat on the committees/boards. Although these records do not strictly originate from the Burgh itself, they were kept alongside the Burgh records because of this connection. Baillie A baillie was a civic officer in Scottish local government similar to that of an alderman or magistrate. Modern bailies exist in Scottish local councils as a courtesy title. Bond A bond, in general, was a written obligation to pay or perform something.

This is a Christian, voluntary, social welfare organisation operating in twentieth century Britain. It’s history has been intertwined with that of its charismatic founder, Philip Clayton, and therefore it also explores his history. In addition, Toc H has been an example of an old-style voluntary organisation, and the thesis describes its ‘journey’ through the changing society which it has encountered. The main theme which is considered is the effect on the organisation of the interplay between the effects on it of Clayton and of the changes in society over its history.

  • Ethnic Sources
    Ethnic Sources Any study on ethnic groups and immigration in the County should be conducted in conjunction with sources at the Bedfordshire Archives and Records Service and the county’s library services. Bedford has been a particular area of study by geographers and social historians on the effects of immigration and housing and the searcher is advised to read the following books which can be obtained from Bedford Central Library: Brown, J. The Unmelting Pot, Macmillan, 1970 Jeffcoate, R. Bedford: Portrait of a Multi-Ethnic Town, and Mayo, B. Milton Keynes, The Open University Press, 1982 Sarne, P Ethnic Minority Housing: Explanations Phillips, D. and and Policies, Aldershot, Avebury, 1989 Skellington, R Press cuttings on ethnic groups from 1981 onwards are held at Luton Central Library and from 1955 onwards at Bedford Central Library. The Ethnic Sources List The lists starts with a general section on ethnic sources followed by a section for each ethnic group in alphabetical order. Within each section the sources are arranged as follows: (1) Publications from the Searchroom Library (reference only) (2) Entries from the Bedfordshire Parish Register series. These are transcripts of Bedfordshire parish registers to 1812 (3) Newspapers. Please note that the references from newspapers do not represent the total amount of possible entries. Nevertheless they do provide an excellent starting point. (4) County Record Transcripts (C.R.T.s). These include notes on and transcripts of various subjects/documents, made either by the staff or public, photocopies of material not held at Record Office, and other material relating to the history of the County.
