  • Conversion in James Shirley's St Patrick for Ireland

    Conversion in James Shirley's St Patrick for Ireland

    CONVERSION IN JAMES SHIRLEY’S ST PATRICK FOR IRELAND (1640) Alison Searle In his play St Patrick for Ireland (published in 1640), the Caroline dramatist, James Shirley (1596–1666), represents the complex process of Ireland’s conversion from paganism to Christianity.1 There are two distinct reasons why St Patrick for Ireland is unique in Shirley’s oeuvre: it was specifically written for his Irish audience at the Werburgh Street theatre, and it makes extensive use of spectacular stage effects (devils, serpents, fire and so on). It was produced while Shirley was in Dublin, under the rule of the English Deputy, Sir Thomas Wentworth. Shir- ley’s own religious convictions are unclear: his biographer, Anthony Wood, claims that he converted (as an ordained clergyman) from the Church of England to Catholicism before he became a playwright.2 This is largely unverified by biographical evidence to date, but it has had a profound impact on subsequent accounts of Shirley’s life and works.3 Shirley lived during a period of revolutionary religious change. He wrote plays and masques for Charles I and Henrietta Maria; he was principal dramatist at the Werburgh Street theatre in Dublin 1 I am grateful to the anonymous peer-reviewer of this essay for suggestions that clarified the structure and presentation of the overall argument. I have also been helped by discussions with Eugene Giddens, Samantha Rayner, Justine Williams, Eva Griffith and Rowlie Wymer. 2 Anthony Wood, Athenae Oxonienses (London: Thomas Bennet, 1692) vol. 2, 260–261. 3 Sandra Burner notes that James Shirley can probably be identified with the Jaco- bus Shirley listed in a Recusant Role (The National Archives E77/49); however, there is also a record of his assent to the Bill of Uniformity on 18 August, 1662: Burner, S., James Shirley: A Study of Literary Coteries and Patronage in Seventeenth-Century Eng- land (Lanham: 1998) 168, 194, 210.

It was the largest Empire in history. If the Empire’s beating heart was London, then The Strand was one of its major arteries. This mile- long street beside the River Thames was home to some of the Empire’s administrative, legal and commercial functions. The days of Empire are long gone but its legacy remains in the landscape. A walk down this modern London street is a fascinating journey through Britain’s imperial history. This walk was created in 2012 by Mike Jackson and Gary Gray, both Fellows of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG). It was originally part of a series that explored how our towns and cities have been shaped for many centuries by some of the 206 participating nations in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

    ariel hessayon goldsmiths, university of london Early Modern Communism The Diggers and Community of Goods Freedom is the man that will turn the world upside downe, therefore no wonder he hath enemies. —Gerrard Winstanley, A Watch-Word to the City of London and the Armie (1649), preface I. Positioning the Diggers within a Communist Tradition Since their rediscovery in the nineteenth century—first by Liberal, Social- ist, and Marxist historians and then by Protestant nonconformists—the English Diggers of 1649–50 have been successively appropriated; their image refashioned in the service of new political doctrines that have sought legitimacy partly through emphasizing supposed ideological antecedents. In a previous article I demonstrated that recent attempts to incorporate the Diggers within a constructed Green heritage are unconvincing and that at worst these emerging “Green narratives” are insensitive to historical context.1 Similarly, here I want to show how, either through lack of understanding the finer points of Protestant theology or deliberate distortion, most explanations of the Diggers’ implementation of the doctrine of community of goods have been misleading.

All rights reserved. 1 2 Ariel Hessayon Although the term “Communism” is anachronistic in an early modern context—the Chartist Goodwyn Barmby apparently coined it in 1840—Fried- rich Engels nonetheless used it in his study of Th e Peasant War in Germany (summer 1850). Engels, at that time a journalist and political activist with republican sympathies, linked the revolutionary struggle of the German people in 1848 with the defeated uprising of their forebears.2 Moreover, since the 1890s a number of scholars writing in the wake of the emergence of British socialism and burgeoning trade union movement have used the word to describe an ideology that burst forth during the English Revolu- tion.

  • Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped

    Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped

    Homo Eucharisticus: Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped David John Fuller, B Sc, B Th Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theology and Religious Studies University of Glasgow December 2013 Copyright © David Fuller, 2013 Homo Eucharisticus: Dom Gregory Dix – Reshaped 2 ABSTRACT In his book The Shape of the Liturgy Dom Gregory Dix coined the phrase ‘Eucharistic man’. In a speech to clergy Archbishop Rowan Williams remarked that Homo Eucharisticus, his Latinised version of Dix’s words, was, ‘a new human species who makes sense of the world in the presence of the risen Jesus at his table’. This thesis will seek to define what is specifically meant by the term Homo Eucharisticus and to indicate that, in a very real sense, Dix is Homo Eucharisticus, understood in his life, vocation, and his primary scholarship as it is centred on The Shape of the Liturgy. I shall demonstrate that Dix’s theology was Incarnational and that his Trinitarian understanding was based on the precept of a ‘Spiritual-Logos’. I shall examine these concepts in the context of Dix’s experience and personality. I shall assess the historical, intellectual and theological influences that helped to shape his life and vocation, and explore his Anglican identity as a priest, a scholar and a member of a religious community. I shall explain Dix’s creative understanding of the Trinitarian nature of the Eucharist and determine that he was a noteworthy theologian of major significance. I shall include studies of his writings on the Ministry of the Church and his major liturgical works The Apostolic Tradition of Saint Hippolytus and The Shape of the Liturgy.
