  • The fires of liberty”

    R N Swanson, Robert SwansonARTICLEAmerican Nineteenth Century History2024

    This article explores how American abolitionists reacted to the Haitian Revolution between the start of the Revolution in 1791 till the passage of Congressional legislation banning trade with Haiti in 1806. Abolitionists' reactions to the Revolution illustrate some of the unifying and dividing ideas deeply imbedded within the abolition movement. The Haitian Revolution did not create the divisions between abolitionists, but rather brought to the f…

  • A Latter-day Saint Apostle's Perception of the Southern Bazaar of Liverpool, October 1864

    R N Swanson, Robert SwansonARTICLEJournal of Mormon History2023

    Daniel Hanmer Wells, a fifty-year-old Latter-day Saint apostle, arrived in Liverpool, England, in August 1864 to preside over the church's missionary efforts in Europe.1 During his almost two years stay, he corresponded with Brigham Young on Latter-day Saint theology, the progress of missionary work, health matters, and a myriad of other subjects. A story Wells shared with Young reflects an interesting perspective on Latter-day Saint leadership's…

  • Recording Liturgical and Sacramental Rites of Passage in Pre-Reformation English Parishes

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLEStudies in Church History2023

    The introduction of parochial registers in England in 1538 was a milestone in the recording of (some) liturgical and sacramental rites of passage. Limited evidence reveals an earlier and superficially similar system incorporating detailed recording of offerings and other receipts among parochial ‘altarage’ income in benefice accounts. The material is examined and contextualized, to establish its relationship with the system introduced in 1538 and…

  • “A Complete Struggle”

    Laura K Anderson, R N Swanson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mormon History2022

    On October 6, 1845, the assembly hall of the Nauvoo Temple was filled with Latter-day Saints gathered for conference. Since the murders of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, threats and rumors of further violence from mobs had been circulating the city for months. Some of the Saints had been victims of actual assaults. Fear of the future and uncertainty were everywhere. Furthermore, whispers of the leadership crisis occasioned by Smith's death still lingere…

  • Medieval Anticlericalism

    R N Swanson, Robert SwansonARTICLEHistory of Religions2021Referências: 20

    This article grapples with the problem of applying a nineteenth-century neologism to the relationships between clergy and laity within pre-Reformation Catholicism, essentially between circa 1100 and circa 1530. Broad approaches to the history of “anticlericalism” identify a major shift in its character at the Reformation, without being specific about its nature. Historians employ “anticlericalism” as an analytical concept, but somewhat insecurely…

  • Arbitration, Delegation, Conservation

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLEStudies in Church History2020Referências: 1

    The records of diocesan and peculiar courts of late medieval England have received extensive academic scrutiny, generating a reasonably clear picture of a hierarchical pyramid ultimately headed by the papal curia. However, that picture is an incomplete depiction of the totality of the ecclesiastical mechanisms of dispute resolution. Existing scholarship largely ignores the use of arbitrated extra-curial settlements to avoid litigation (or, altern…

  • Margery Kempe, viatrix

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLECuadernos de Estudios Gallegos2018Referências: 10

    Margery Kempe peregrinó desde Inglaterra a Compostela en 1417, una visita de la que dejó constancia en su cuasi-autobiográfico Libro. Este artículo analiza y contextualiza esa travesía como una parte de una vida y un texto marcados por peregrinajes similares. Además, integra la peregrinación en su vida como viatrix, comprometida con un viaje espiritual no hacia santuarios terrenales, sino a la salvación celestial. [gl] Margery Kempe peregrinou de…

  • Bonds of Wool

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    The late medieval papal monarchy is generally seen as emerging in the long twelfth century—born in the period of Gregorian Reform, consolidated by the lawyer popes of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries (notably Innocent III) and consummated in the administrative papacy of Avignon. Its genesis, however, is elusive: the pre-Gregorian papacy is marked by notable individuals, but rarely evinces a clear theoretical and practical stance whose continu…

  • Excommunication for Debt in Late Medieval France

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    The two halves of this volume’s title highlight the two key thrusts of its content. On one hand, it seeks to illuminate the scale and breadth of the credit economy in late medieval France, using registers of excommunications for debt maintained by selected ecclesiastical authorities. This makes it firmly a contribution to economic and social (and perhaps legal) history. On the other hand, justifying its subtitle, the book demonstrates how the pot…

  • El discurso nacionalista mexicano en el cómic Águila Solitaria de Víctor Fox

    R N Swanson, Ross SwansonARTICLEStudies in Latin American Popular…2017

    This article examines how the Mexican comic Águila Solitaria, published in the second half of the 1970s and throughout the 1980s, incorporates themes related to the Mexican postrevolutionary nationalist discourse (especially as presented in the works of José Vasconcelos and Manuel Gamio) to avoid censorship related to the representation of sex and violence and, at the same time, to achieve economic success. This is done first and foremost through…

  • Dubius in fide fidelis est? Doubt and Assurance in Late Medieval Catholicism

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLEStudies in Church History2016Referências: 9

    The canon law dictum that ‘ dubius in fide infidelis est ’ offers a seemingly definitive statement on the place of doubt and uncertainty in medieval Catholicism. Yet where Catholic teaching was open to question, doubt was inseparable from faith, not merely as its obverse but as part of the process of achieving faithfulness – the trajectory outlined by Abelard in the twelfth century. The challenge for the Church was not that doubters lacked faith,…

    This tightly-focused volume of essays derives from an AHRC-supported research collaboration between Queen’s University Belfast and St Andrews University on ‘Geographies of Orthodoxy: Mapping the English Pseudo-Bonaventuran Lives of Christ, c.1350–1550’ (http://www.qub.ac.uk/geographies-of-orthodoxy/). The editors provide the basic introduction, chiefly a foretaste of the individual essays. The essays are aimed primarily at literary scholars and h…

  • Popular Protest in Late Medieval English Towns, by Samuel K. Cohn, Jr.

    R N SwansonARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    In recent years, Sam Cohn has written extensively on popular protest in Europe in the late middle ages. His latest book derives from an ESRC-funded project; Cohn’s name alone appears on the jacket but his research assistant, Douglas Aiton, appears with him (in smaller type) on the title page. With its focus on England, and despite its urban emphasis, it is obviously intended to complement Cohn’s earlier continental survey, Lust for Liberty: The P…

  • Entering a Clerical Career at the Roman Curia, 1458–1471, by Kirsi Salonen and Jussi Hanska

    Open AccessR N SwansonARTICLEThe English Historical Review2014

    Ordination—the series of sacramental rites by which candidates rose through the formal ranks or orders of clergy to priesthood—was a fundamental feature of the medieval Catholic Church. Appropriate archival records, providing evidence about performance of the rites and the candidates, throw valuable and revealing light on the nature and personnel of the pre-Reformation Church. This book, by Kirsi Salonen and Jussi Hanska, focuses very firmly on s…
