Book Synopsis John Jones, Puritan Saint by : Lisa B. Swann

Book excerpt: Charles Stuart was the first and only reigning English monarch to be tried, convicted, and beheaded for treason and murder. In January 1649, fifty-nine men signed the order that sent King Charles to his death. Theories offered for motives behind the execution generally include overarching themes such as republicanism, enmity towards Charles, or military ambition. I maintain, however, that each man who signed made a conscious choice to do so for individual reasons. Personal motives behind the decision to sign the warrant have rarely been evaluated. I offer this case study of one of the regicides as an addition to the scholarship on the topic of English regicides. John Jones Maes-y-garnedd, of Merionethshire, Wales, d. 1660, was the forty-second signatory of the death warrant. He was an army officer and a member of Parliament for Wales. I argue that Jones' official capacity as a colonel and an MP had very little to do with his decision to sign the warrant. For him, religious convictions were by far the strongest factor in the choices he made. Though religion has long been considered historically significant in seventeenth-century England, aspects of Jones' particular puritanism set him apart. John Jones was, in Michael Walzer's terms, a Puritan saint. His commitment to Calvinist principles of collective conscience and dedication to duty, his unwavering belief in the absolute power of God, and his 'calling' to facilitate the creation of a godly commonwealth are evident in his personal letters. This analysis of many of those letters reveals personal insight into Jones' character, especially with regard to his willingness to let faith guide him no matter the consequences.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout this essay all dates are given in New Style. When pamphlets were originally dated Old Style, the new date has been substituted. In all quotations the original seventeenth-century spelling has been retained. A "sic" is placed in the quotation only where it appears to be certain that there has been a misprint in the original. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the late Professor Garrett Mattingly of Columbia University for his inspiration and guidance during the years spent under his sponsorship. It was a rare privilege to study under him. Professor Sidney Burrell of Barnard College offered many constructive suggestions and I am most appreciative of the kind interest he took in the completion of this study. I also wish to thank the editors of The American Journal of Legal History for publishing some of my material on Chancery reform in their Journal. The staff of the North Library of the British Museum was most helpful in making available the many volumes of the Thomason Collection. Thanks are also due to the staff of the Library of Union Theological Seminary who helped in the location of materials from the McAlpin Collection.
Book Synopsis Enforcing Reformation in Ireland and Scotland, 1550–1700 by : Crawford Gribben
Download or read book Enforcing Reformation in Ireland and Scotland, 1550–1700 written by Crawford Gribben and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have witnessed a growing interest in the study of the Reformation period within the three kingdoms of Britain, revolutionizing the way in which scholars think about the relationships between England, Scotland and Ireland. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the story of the British Reformation is still dominated by studies of England, an imbalance that this book will help to right. By adopting an international perspective, the essays in this volume look at the motives, methods and impact of enforcing the Protestant Reformation in Ireland and Scotland. The juxtaposition of these two countries illuminates the similarities and differences of their social and political situations while qualifying many of the conclusions of recent historical work in each country. As well as Investigating what 'reformation' meant in the early modern period, and examining its literal, rhetorical, doctrinal, moral and political implications, the volume also explores what enforcing these various reformations could involve. Taken as a whole, this volume offers a fascinating insight into how the political authorities in Scotland and Ireland attempted, with varying degrees of success, to impose Protestantism on their countries. By comparing the two situations, and placing them in the wider international picture, our understanding of European confessionalization is further enhanced.

Book Synopsis Puritanism and Theatre by : Margot Heinemann
Download or read book Puritanism and Theatre written by Margot Heinemann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The closing of the theatres by Parliament in 1642 is perhaps the best-known fact in the history of English drama. As the Parliamentary Puritans were then in power, it is easy to assume that all opponents of the theatre were Puritans, and that all Puritans were hostile to the drama. The reality was more interesting and more complicated. Margot Heinemann looks at Thomas Middleton's work in relation to the society and social movements of his time, and traces the connections this work may have had with radical, Parliamentarian or Puritan groups or movements. In the light of the recent work of seventeenth-century historians we can no longer see these complex opposition movements as uniformly anti-theatre or anti-dramatist. The book suggests fresh meanings and implications in Middleton's own writings, and helps towards rethinking the place of drama in the changing life of early Stuart England.

Book Synopsis Major-General Thomas Harrison by : David Farr
Download or read book Major-General Thomas Harrison written by David Farr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Harrison is today perhaps best remembered for the manner of his death. As a leading member of the republican regime and signatory to Charles I’s death warrant, he was hanged, drawn and quartered by the Restoration government in 1660; a spectacle witnessed by Samuel Pepys who recorded him ’looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition’. Beginning with this grisly event, this book employs a thematic, rather than chronological approach, to illustrate the role of millenarianism and providence in the English Revolution, religion within the new model army, literature, image and reputation, and Harrison’s relationship with key individuals like Ireton and Cromwell as well as groups, most notably the Fifth Monarchists. Divided in three parts, the study starts with an analysis of Harrison’s last year of life, the nature of his response to the political collapse of the Interregnum regimes, and his apparent acceptance of the Restoration without overt resistance. Part two considers Harrison’s years of ’power’, analysing his political activities and influence in the New Model, especially with regard to the regicide. The final part ties Harrison’s political retreat to his initial emergence from obscurity; arguing that Harrison’s relative political quietism during the later 1650s was a reflection of the development of his millenarianism. Unlike the only two previous full length studies of Harrison the present work makes use of a full range of manuscript, primary and secondary sources, including the huge range of new material that has fundamentally changed how the early modern period is now understood. Fully footnoted and referenced, this study provides the first modern academic study of Harrison, and through him illuminates the key themes of this contested period.

Book Synopsis The History of Wales by : John Graham Jones
Download or read book The History of Wales written by John Graham Jones and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an engaging, best-selling volume reproduced with text panels that provide brief biographies of historical figures and descriptions of major historical sites in Wales. As the only concise history of Wales currently available in print, this book is an ideal introductory study for the general reader. From primitive Stone Age cave-dwellers who were the earliest recorded inhabitants of Wales, through settlement by the Celts before the Roman and Norman invasions, this book leads the reader through the age of the native Welsh princes that culminated with the eventual conquest of Wales by Edward I in 1282. Later seminal themes include the passage of the so-called Union legislations of 1536 and 1543, the impact of successive religious changes, the agrarian and industrial revolutions, and the severe interwar depression of the twentieth century. This new edition concludes with a discussion of the far-reaching political, social and economic changes covering the momentous period from the close of the twentieth century to the present day.
Book Synopsis The Great Ejectment of 1662 by : Alan P.F. Sell
Download or read book The Great Ejectment of 1662 written by Alan P.F. Sell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-02-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By Bartholomew's Day, 24 August, 1662, all ministers and schoolmasters in England and Wales were required by the Act of Uniformity to have given their "unfeigned assent and consent" to the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. On theological grounds nearly two thousand ministers--approximately one fifth of the clergy of the Church of England--refused to comply and thereby forfeited their livings. This book has been written to commemorate the 350th Anniversary of the Great Ejectment. In Part One three early modern historians provide accounts of the antecedents and aftermath of the ejectment in England and Wales, while in Part Two the case is advanced that the negative responses of the ejected ministers to the legal requirements of the Act of Uniformity were rooted in positive doctrinal convictions that are of continuing ecumenical significance.
