Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inventory of the Parish Registers and Other Records: In the Diocese of Canterbury With an Introduction and Appendix It may be assumed that the number of those who take an interest in parish records or registers is extremely limited, perhaps most people are altogether unaware even of the existence of such documents. In publishing this volume there is no expectation of rendering these statistics popular. Our primary purpose is to ascertain what we possess and thus to widen the field in which the student of parochial history may delve. The late Archbishop Benson once in an inofficial manner was driving through an area of open country, where archaeological interest centered in the ruins of an ancient Religious house in the vicinity of which remained a cluster of parish churches. Dr. Benson possessed an almost unequalled knowledge of Church Architecture: - Doors, windows, carving, mouldings, were a joy and recreation after his severer labours. At one point in this excursion he arrived at a Church absolutely devoid of architectural interest. Surveying the fabric with a look which betokened a sense of disappointment, he observed to his companion, "Well, at any rate we can ask to see the Registers." Dr. Benson knew full well that these ancient documents often contain facts no less important and interesting than some external or internal architectural feature of priceless esteem to the antiquary or historian. This Inventory, (the prolonged and exhaustive labours of the Rev. C. E. Woodruff and others) gives us the ends of threads which if interwoven with collateral incidents may some day produce a fabric of high historical value. It is lamentable to think how often local records have disappeared. These slender threads of parochial history, form the warp of local patriotism. The cause of patriotism has of recent years received a very considerable impulse, but it is no new thing, it is inherent in the life history of every nation, but it is a term difficult both of analysis or explanation. We all, of course, recognise how the study of the life of a great man can arouse and stimulate patriotic effort, e.g., Pericles in Athens, Augustine at Rome; in England such characters as Edward the Black Prince, and Sir Thomas More; in America, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln shine like stars in their respective spheres.

Download or read book Poetic Sisters written by Deborah Kennedy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Poetic Sisters, Deborah Kennedy explores the personal and literary connections among five early eighteenth-century women poets: Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea; Elizabeth Singer Rowe; Frances Seymour, Countess of Hertford; Sarah Dixon; and Mary Jones. Richly illustrated and elegantly written, this book brings the eighteenth century to life, presenting a diverse range of material from serious religious poems to amusing verses on domestic life. The work of Anne Finch, author of "A Nocturnal Reverie," provides the cornerstone for this well informed study. But it was Elizabeth Rowe who achieved international fame for her popular religious writings. Both women influenced the Countess of Hertford, who wrote about the beauty of nature, centuries before modern Earth Day celebrations. Sarah Dixon, a middle-class writer from Kent, had a strong moral outlook and stood up for those whose voices needed to be heard, including her own. Finally, Mary Jones, who lived in Oxford, was praised for both her genius and her sense of humor. Poetic Sisters presents a fascinating female literary network, revealing the bonds of a shared vocation that unites these writers. It also traces their literary afterlife from the eighteenth century to the present day, with references to contemporary culture, demonstrating how their work resonates with new generations of readers.
Download or read book Religion and the Decline of Magic written by Keith Thomas and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 931 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witchcraft, astrology, divination and every kind of popular magic flourished in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the belief that a blessed amulet could prevent the assaults of the Devil to the use of the same charms to recover stolen goods. At the same time the Protestant Reformation attempted to take the magic out of religion, and scientists were developing new explanations of the universe. Keith Thomas's classic analysis of beliefs held on every level of English society begins with the collapse of the medieval Church and ends with the changing intellectual atmosphere around 1700, when science and rationalism began to challenge the older systems of belief.
