Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Centuries of Derbyshire Annals, Vol. 2 of 2: As Illustrated by the Records of the Quarter Sessions of the County of Derby, From Queen Elizabeth to Queen Victoria This gaol was from the very first a gross discredit to. The shire, and was notorious, even in those evil days for prisoners, above all others for its foulness and consequent frequent visitations of plague and gaol fever. It would almost seem as if the county authorities deemed it most economical to confine their prisoners in a place where fatal fevers were Onearly a certainty; for it was built in the Corn Market, over the then open brook, which was at that period merely the town sewer. Hutton, the historian of Derby, writing of his recollections of the old gaol, which had been before then materially improved, says Our ancestors erected the chief jail in a river, exposed to damp and filth, as if they meant to drown the culprit before they hanged him. A worse situation could not have been chosen: it extended across the Corn Market, one of the principal streets, as if to hide the brook, or bind the flood. The wretched inhabitant was Open to the public, and they to him. A vile arch admitted the horse passenger, and a viler the foot; inconvenient to both, hurtful to the stranger, dangerous to the inmate; a reflection upon the place, without one benefit as a counterbalance. The condition of this prison and its terrible visitations of sickness have been incidentally portrayed in that part of the fourth section of this work which deals with the condition of the Recusants under Elizabeth. In the year 1610, the sudden rising of the brook in the night time drowned three of the prisoners ere they could be rescued. An undated petition, but certainly of the Commonwealth period.

Download or read book Oral and Literate Culture in England 1500 1700 written by Adam Fox and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the varied vernacular forms and rich oral traditions which were such a part of popular culture in early modern England. It focuses, in particular, upon dialect speech and proverbial wisdom, "old wives' tales" and children's lore, historical legends and local customs, scurrilous versifying and scandalous rumour-mongering. Adam Fox argues that while the spoken word provides the most vivid insight into the mental world of the majority in this semi-literate society, it was by no means untouched by written influences. Even at the beginning of the period, centuries of reciprocal infusion between complementary media had created a cultural repertoire which had long ceased to be purely oral. Thereafter, the expansion of literacy together with the proliferation of texts both in manuscript and print saw the rapid acceleration and elaboration of this process. By 1700 popular traditions and modes of expression were the product of a fundamentally literate environment to a much greater extent than has yet been appreciated.

Download or read book Revolution remembered written by Edward Legon and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Restoration, parliamentarians continued to identify with the decisions to oppose and resist crown and established church. This was despite the fact that expressing such views between 1660 and 1688 was to open oneself to charges of sedition or treason. This book uses approaches from the field of memory studies to examine ‘seditious memories’ in seventeenth-century Britain, asking why people were prepared to take the risk of voicing them in public. It argues that such activities were more than a manifestation of discontent or radicalism – they also provided a way of countering experiences of defeat. Besides speech and writing, parliamentarian and republican views are shown to have manifested as misbehaviour during official commemorations of the civil wars and republic. The book also considers how such views were passed on from the generation of men and women who experienced civil war and revolution to their children and grandchildren.
