Abstract:

Matthew Cheung Salisbury, a Lecturer in Music at University and Worcester College, Oxford, and a member of the Faculty of Music at the University of Oxford, wrote this book for ARC Humanities Press’s Past Imperfect series (a series comparable to Oxford’s Very Short Introductions). Two of his recent, significant contributions to the field of medieval liturgical studies include The Secular Office in Late-Medieval England (Turnhout: Brepols, 2015) and, as editor and translator, Medieval Latin Liturgy in English Translation (Kalamazoo: Medieval Institute Publications, 2017). In keeping with the work of editors Thomas Heffernan and E. Ann Matter in The Liturgy of the Medieval Church, 2nd ed. (Kalamazoo: Medieval Institute Publications, 2005) and Richard W. Pfaff in The Liturgy of Medieval England: A History (Cambridge University Press, 2009), this most recent book provides a fascinating overview of the liturgy of the medieval church, specifically in England. Salisbury’s expertise is evident on every page.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses a significant, though largely unexplored, part of the Marian Counter-Reformation. Queen Mary and her ministers expected the University of Oxford's contribution to the success of their plans for the English Church to be decisive. From her letter to the University in August 1553, only weeks after her accession, in which she announced her intention of laying the foundations of her ecclesiastical policy in Oxford, the academy underwent a transformation. After decades of trauma which had left the University poor, empty and (literally, in some parts) crumbling, Mary's reign gave the University a purpose, something which had been difficult to discern since the Dissolution of the Monasteries had deprived it of a large proportion of its students and lecturers. Mary and, after November 1554, Reginald Cardinal Pole undertook an extensive programme designed to reform and restore the University, a programme which was willingly and tirelessly taken up by those sympathetic to it in the University. This had its theological, ecclesiastical, liturgical and architectural elements, each of which will be considered in this thesis. Its central claim is not just that the existing picture of Mary Tudor's Church is incomplete without the inclusion within it of the restoration of Catholicism in Oxford, but that it is in Oxford, and perhaps only there, that all the different elements of her religious policy can be seen for what they are: a consistent whole, conceived and executed with one purpose: the reintegration of the English Church into the universal Catholic body.

Abstract:

The thesis consists of a detailed examination of the contents of Oxford, Trinity College, MS 86, (Trinity), with particular attention being given to several lengthy English confessional items which it contains. This is complemented by a more general consideration of late Middle English prose forms of confession and the manuscripts in which they occur. Part One consists of a survey of all surviving independent prose forms of confession preserved in late Middle English manuscripts. I divide the texts into groups according to their probable audience and readership, assessed from both internal and external evidence. This is preceded by a brief introductory section on the background to late Middle English guides to preparation for confession. In three appendices, I provide: a full description of London, British Library, MS Sloane 1584, with transcriptions of three confessional texts; a transcription of a form of confession from London, British Library, MS Harley 2383, with variants from all known manuscripts; a transcription of a form of confession from Yale, University Library, MS Beinecke 317. Part Two consists of a close study of Trinity: a full description of the manuscript, supplementing existing catalogues; editions of four confessional texts from the manuscript, accompanied by detailed discussions of their form and probable function; an analysis of a series of short devotional texts which, taken together, constitute an elementary manual of religious instruction. I include full critical editions, with variants from all known manuscripts, of two of these texts, The Sixteen Conditions of Charity and The Eight Blessings of God, both of which originate in passages extracted from the Wycliffite Bible, and which survive, in varying versions, in thirty-four and nine manuscripts respectively. The thesis concludes with a summary of the probable origin and function of this manuscript collection.

Abstract:

Abstract At the end of a lengthy narrative it seems appropriate to consider again its basic premisses; to ask whether they are borne out by the evidence laid before the reader, and to offer some conclusions about the nature and relevance of what has been described. Foremost among these premisses is that there is such a thing as English music, the music of the English people as distinct both from that of other nations and from that of the larger entities to which the English belong or have at one time belonged. A second is that the music of a nation or people acquires a self-sustaining impetus that enables it to retain its individuality over a long period embracing profound historical and social changes. The music itself has self-evidently evolved in ways that are at least as farreaching; but it is an underlying presumption that a connecting thread, a characteristic reaction to changing conditions and to musical fashion elsewhere, has determined its course throughout.

Abstract:

Abstract The eighteenth century is often seen as a time when disability became increasingly marginalized in visual culture. However, a glimpse beyond the classical tastes of “high” art reveals not a disappearance but a flourishing of representations of physical and sensory difference. Eighteenth-century popular art and satirical prints examined the disabled body not just as a symbol of misfortune or target for medical intervention, but also as a source of pleasure or an object of satire that conveyed wider messages about the times. A rich and varied range of pictorial representations of disability in the long eighteenth century (ca. 1680–ca. 1830) contributed to social, cultural, and medical understandings of bodily difference in English culture. People with disabilities played important roles as artists, models, and critics in an era before modern “disability arts.”

Abstract:

Abstract Women’s Work, a careers handbook for girls published in 1894, referred to the existence of a few teaching posts at the Oxford and Cambridge women’s colleges in the following way: ‘These are not well paid, and are chiefly attractive for the pleasant university life they afford’. Less than twenty years later, however, another handbook described university work as ‘a fascinating career for the keenly intellectual woman with a love of teaching. ‘ The change in emphasis between these two contemporary observations indicates that during the early twentieth century university teaching was gradually coming to be seen as a profession for the intellectually gifted woman.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter is concerned with the so-called ‘Matter of England’-romances. As opposed to much previous criticism that tended to rate these romances’ literary quality low and focused primarily on political and thematic issues, this contribution seeks also to provide an outline of the specific aesthetic choices that shape the texts. Using Horn, Havelok, and Guy of Warwick as principal examples, the chapter examines the romances’ central structural and rhetorical characteristics, touches briefly on their perspective on history, and highlights aspects such as their feigned orality, their capacity for fabliau-like humour, and their generic flexibility. Among other things, this chapter argues that (some of) these romances cultivate a deliberately anti-courtly stance and exploit their seemingly naïve traditionalism for meta-poetic purposes.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the aesthetic of the cultural moment at which Corpus Christi College was founded: 1517 lies on the cusp between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in England. If one accepts that cusp as fundamentally contested, it remains fruitful to explore how the main actors in affairs of Church and State manifest certain tastes and ideas, combining ‘medieval‘ and ‘Renaissance‘ themes, that are identifiable as elements of coterie-signalling. Two artefacts directly associated with Richard Fox, the College’s founder, stand as such signals, that is material testimonies to group-definition in the dominant sub-culture. The chapter then draws on the wider ecclesiastical and court milieu to explore how performative gestures in the patronage of the built environment have counterparts in actual performance, in the pageantry and plays of the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the powerful impact of education on the service of the British state and empire. It had been reasonably clear, in 1390, what skills an education in the Oxford and Cambridge schools could bring to the service of the crown and the high nobility—the ability to see the weak points of an argument and to put the case against it persuasively, and for those with a training in the learned laws, to deploy an accepted code of practice in a way favourable to the Crown’s or another patron’s cause. As a result, England had been represented by intelligent graduates, canonists, and theologians with a broad outlook and forensic skills, both at the Council of Constance and in the diplomacy of the Lancastrian kings. The chapter then looks at Dr. Thomas Chaundler’s pedagogy and its influence on graduates in the service of the crown.

Abstract:

Abstract The contrast between a prison in 1780 and one in 1865 could scarcely have been greater. Disorder and neglect were the dominant features of the eighteenth-century prison. On entering the jail, one was confronted with the noise and smell of the place. It was seldom easy to distinguish those who belonged in the prison from those who did not. Only the presence of irons differentiated the felons from the visitors or from the debtors and their families. The jail appeared to be a peculiar kind of lodging house with a mixed clientele. Some of its inhabitants lived in ease while others suffered in squalor. There was little evidence of authority. Some prisoners gambled while others stood drinking at the prison tap. On the other hand, the prison in the mid-nineteenth century was quiet and orderly, if also drab and functional. The eeriness of the building was exaggerated by the ghostly forms of convicts in uniforms and masks. Only prisoners and jailers were present, and the difference between the two groups was apparent at a glance. Conversation and pleasure had been outlawed, but the prison was clean and healthy. Prisoners were confined to identical cells and subjected to a similar diet. Their lives were carefully regulated. A prison had assumed an unmistakable appearance.
