Abstract:

Bien que le The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women de John Knox ait été écrit pour nuire au règne catholique de Mary Tudor, cet ouvrage a plutôt provoqué l'hostilité de son successeur au trône, Élisabeth. Si l'image prophétique que projett e Knox volontairement a survécu à ce manque de prévoyance, c'est uniquement en raison de ses pratiques en matière prophétiques et des modèles vétérotestamentaires qu'il a choisis d'imiter. Dans The First Blast, sa prophétie est principalement de nature interprétative plutôt que prédictive, alors que les prophètes d'après lesquels il a façonné son image ont surtout vécu durant le déclin d'Israël et que leurs durs avertissements étaient voués à l'échec. D'après l'image que Knox s'est construite, le prophète divinement inspiré peut dans tous les cas ne pas se soucier des conséquences de cette sorte.

Abstract:

The tracts which John Knox wrote in 1558 are regarded as the core of his political writings and the key to his entire political thought.1 The most famous - and infamous - of his works, The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, was published in the spring and was followed in July by The Letter to the Regent [Augmente], The Appellation and The Letter to the Commonalty of Scotland These tracts have suffered from two serious misconceptions. The first is the natural tendency to link all the 1558 material together and in particular to treat the First Blast and the July tracts .as a unified whole. This has distorted the meaning of all the pamphlets and led to vain efforts to mould them into a composite unit which can then be labelled ‘Knox's political thought’. In fact, it is extremely important to separate them and to make a sharp distinction between their intended audiences and purposes. Crucially, the First Blast was written primarily for an English audience and the July tracts intended for a Scottish one.

Abstract:

‘For to the most parte of men, lawfull and godlie appeareth whatsoever antiquitie hath received’, complained John Knox in his 1558 First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women – and indeed for Knox and his fellow Protestants, the question of historical pedigree was troublesome. Catholic polemicists frequently posed some form of the question, ‘Where was your Church before Luther?’, and contrasted this problem with their own historical continuity, unbroken since the apostle Peter. Knox’s homeland of Scotland saw comparatively little sixteenth-century theological debate, but as in Reformation disputes on the continent, in Scotland historical superiority was claimed by Catholic and Protestant alike. A useful means of legitimation for either side, as Knox had said, was to demonstrate greater similarity to the primitive Church than one’s opponent. The appeal to superior historical precedent was particularly central to one Scottish debate, the printed theological exchange between Quintin Kennedy and John Davidson, and here it was slightly unusual in that these authors focused on the general council, rather than the papacy or episcopacy, as the means of historical legitimation.

Abstract:

AbstractFollowing Linda Hutcheon’s definition of parody as “repetition with a difference”, this essay exposes how a contemporary Canadian novel parodically responds to seminal Early Modern English pre-texts. Eric McCormack is not only a Canadian postmodernist (and postcolonial) writer born in Scotland but also a specialist in Early Modern English literature and thus an ideal representative of the intertextual situation of Canadian writing between literary tradition and the challenges of postmodern/postcolonial writing. The essay interprets McCormack’s sexual gothic novel First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women discussing the way in which a literal or even literalist—rather than metaphorical—interpretation of literary and religious texts of the Early Modern period can make an important and sometimes harrowing difference in the lives of somewhat unsophisticated literary characters. McCormack’s ominously named character Andrew Halfnight literally interprets religious and literary texts he sees as signposts and guidelines of his personal behavior, thus showing how a literal interpretation of “canonical” texts limits the character’s ability to lead a self-determined happy life. The texts he refers to include the pamphlet The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women by Scottish reformer John Knox, Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and these subtexts are more than challenged through their intertextual transfer into erotic or perhaps even pornographic contexts which probably would have shocked the Early Modern authors (although, for example, Milton was at least not unwilling or unable to include eroticism in his work). Towards the end of the novel, the imagined reversal of the life-giving act of birth turns into a monstrous sexual act, which coincides with the protagonist’s near-death experience in an automobile accident on a snow-covered road in northern Ontario. This experience cum sexual act leads to the “un-birth” or “re-birth” of the novel’s main character into what he takes to be a happier and more fulfilled life in a paradise found or regained in Camberloo, Ontario.

Abstract:

In The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, John Knox vehemently argues against women’s capacity to rule because of what he believes to be their natural inferiority to men. However, he also allows for the possibility of outstanding women who have been elevated by God, through no merit of their own, as an exception to their otherwise weak sex. Queen Elizabeth I’s rhetorical strategy, in the "Golden Speech" and elsewhere, relies heavily on this construct of the exceptional woman as a means of legitimizing her power within a patriarchal system of governance. Elizabeth presents herself as an exceptional woman by justifying her authority through God, negating her learned eloquence in the very act of expressing herself, and maintaining the inferiority of women in order to foreground herself as uniquely powerful. She furthers her exceptionality by claiming a special access to masculine modes of authority, constructing an authority that is inseparable from herself and thus not available to women generally. Reading Elizabeth through this strategy undermines the idea that simply having women in positions of power abolishes patriarchal systems of governance, and shows that the power of patriarchy to persist relies, in part, on its capacity to implicate women in their own subjugation.
