Download or read book Quaker Women written by Sandra Stanley Holton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One nineteenth-century commentator noted the ‘public’ character of Quaker women as signalling a new era in female history. This study examines such claims through the story of middle-class women Friends from among the kinship circle created by the marriage in 1839 of Elizabeth Priestman and the future radical Quaker statesman, John Bright. The lives discussed here cover a period from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, and include several women Friends active in radical politics and the women’s movement, in the service of which they were able to mobilise extensive national and international networks. They also created and preserved a substantial archive of private papers, comprising letters and diaries full of humour and darkness, the spiritual and the mundane, family confidences and public debate, the daily round and affairs of state. The discovery of such a collection makes it possible to examine the relationship between the personal and public lives of these women Friends, explored through a number of topics including the nature of Quaker domestic and church cultures; the significance of kinship and church membership for the building of extensive Quaker networks; the relationship between Quaker religious values and women’s participation in civil society and radical politics and the women’s rights movement. There are also fresh perspectives on the political career of John Bright, provided by his fond but frank women kin. This new study is a must read for all those interested in the history of women, religion and politics.
Download or read book A Historical Sketch of the Society of Friends in Scorn Called Quakers in Newcastle Classic Reprint written by John William Steel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Sketch of the Society of Friends in Scorn Called Quakers in Newcastle Though designed only for a local audience, it was evident to those who heard it that its preparation had involved considerable research, and that many facts had been collected which were worth preservation. It was therefore suggested that the history thus commenced should be brought down to a later date and printed. In furtherance of this desire John William Steel invited the assistance of other Friends whose longer residence in Newcastle would enable them to furnish material not at his command. The following pages are now presented to the reader in the hope that the sketch thus complied may not only possess some value as a local history, but may have an interest beyond the limits of Newcastle Friends. It was thought that by inviting contributions from those best able to speak from personal knowledge of the subjects treated, the variety of style would add to the popularity of the book. It will be seen that some of theseare of a Sketchy rather than of a literary character: they are purposely given in this form in preference to attempting a more studied composition. Voluminous manuscripts have been handed down from the correspondence and memoranda of George Richardson, which have furnished material to the Editors, who would gladly have availed themselves of similar collections representing other families. Had such been at their command. The Portraits and Silhouettes, so kindly contributed by relatives of the deceased will recall some familiar faces, and will present others to many who have known them only by tradition. For all the help thus generously given, the Editors offer their grateful acknowledgments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Creating and Consuming Culture in North East England 1660 1830 written by Helen Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians of the long eighteenth century have recently recognised that this period is central both to the history of cultural production and consumption and to the history of national and regional identity. Yet no book has, as yet, directly engaged with these two areas of interest at the same time. By uniting interest in the history of culture with the history of regional identity, Creating and Consuming Culture in North-East England, 1660-1830 is of crucial importance to a wide range of historians and intervenes in a number of highly important historical and conceptual debates in a timely and provocative way. The book makes a substantial contribution to eighteenth-century studies. Not only do these essays demonstrate that in thinking about cultural production and consumption in the eighteenth century there are important continuities as well as changes that need to be considered, but also they complicate the commonplace assumption of metropolitan-led cultural change and cultural innovation. Rather than the usual model of centre-periphery diffusion, a number of contributions show that cultural change in the provinces was happening at the same time as in, or in some cases even before, London. The essays also indicate the complex relationship between cultural consumption and social status, with some cultural forms being more inclusive than others.

Download or read book Quakers Jews and Science written by Geoffrey Cantor and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-09-22 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do science and religion interact? This study examines the ways in which two minorities in Britain - the Quaker and Anglo-Jewish communities - engaged with science. Drawing on a wealth of documentary material, much of which has not been analysed by previous historians, Geoffrey Cantor charts the participation of Quakers and Jews in many different aspects of science: scientific research, science education, science-related careers, and scientific institutions. The responses of both communities to the challenge of modernity posed by innovative scientific theories, such as the Newtonian worldview and Darwin's theory of evolution, are of central interest.

Book excerpt: "The publications of the interdisciplinary and internationally networked Research Platform "World Order - Religion - Violence" seek to improve our understanding of the relationship between religion, politics and violence. It therefore deals especially with the return of religious themes and symbols into politics, with the analysis of the link between political theory and religion, and finally with the critical discussion of the secularization thesis. At the centre of the research are questions concerning the causes of violent conflict, the possibilities for a just world order and the conditions for peaceful coexistence on a local, regional, national and international/worldwide scale between communities in the face of divergent religious and ideological convictions. Its task is to initiate and coordinate thematically related research-efforts from various disciplinary backgrounds at the University of Innsbruck. It creates a network between departments, research-teams and single researchers working on topics of religion, politics and violence. The overall aim of the research platform World Order-Religion-Violence is to promote excellence in social and human science research on religion and politics at the University of Innsbruck and to guarantee the diffusion of this particular competence on a national and international level."
