Reformations in Britain’s Islands
Historians of the Reformations have increasingly explored a comparative ‘British’ dimension, seeking to transcend the separate national historiographies of England, Scotland and Ireland. To date, however, little attempt has been made to survey patterns of religious change across the multiplicity of islands that came to form part of the composite British monarchy: in particular, the Channel Islands, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Man, Western Isles, Ork…

Radical History as Collective Endeavour
This roundtable records a conversation among a group of current History Workshop Journal editors, held initially over Zoom, with some remarks added later to the online transcript. With longtime editor Marybeth Hamilton serving as interviewer, the discussion brought together the seven historians who were then the most recent additions to the HWJ editorial collective: Elly Robson Dezateux, Meleisa Ono-George, Kennetta Hammond Perry, Rob Priest, Han…

Medievalisms and Medieval Times
This review essay examines Nadia R. Altschul's discussion of medievalism in nineteenth‐ and twentieth‐century South America in Politics of Temporalization: Medievalism and Orientalism in Nineteenth‐Century South America . She explores a chronopolitics whereby the notion that late medieval Iberia lagged developmentally behind the rest of Europe sustained the claim that parts of South America were still medieval, even while capitalist modernity was…
Frying Pans, Limpets, Donkeys and Becs-jaunes
This essay examines the initiation ceremonies to which new recruits were often subjected in late medieval universities. These ceremonies theatricalised and ritualised violence, playing with metaphors and symbols and toying with the fine line between representation and reality. Why draw quite such attention to the notion that one was de-bestialising a new student (in the case of Heidelberg, Avignon, and others), re-clothing a country bumpkin (in t…

Dissimilar Similitudes
This rich collection of essays offers inspiration and insight in equal measure. Caroline Walker Bynum has collected six essays, some based on previously published material, which stand independently, but also resonate with one another. The volume centres around material objects. It is claimed that in the period from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries ‘religious experience was literalized into encounter with objects’ (p. 29). The volume unp…
Slave voices and experiences in the later medieval Europe
Late medieval slavery was profoundly entangled in urban life in particular. Cities all around the Mediterranean coast were implicated in the trade—although this article focuses on the Christian Mediterranean which was bound together by a general reliance on Roman law (alongside local customary laws and the canon law of the Church). Recently, scholarship on late medieval slavery has proliferated, offering a range of detailed studies primarily base…

Nostalgia and (Pre-)modernity
This article argues that, in the fourteenth century, there was a wave of nostalgia that was provoked by extreme structural change: this was a moment of demographic catastrophe (with famine and plague), endemic warfare, economic fluctuation, intensified urbanization, and intellectual and spiritual novelties. Yet scholars from a range of disciplines have assumed that nostalgia and modernity are intimately connected. Given these framings of nostalgi…
The Court of Richard II and Bohemian Culture, by Alfred Thomas
This richly illustrated and beautifully produced volume explores the role of Bohemian culture in late fourteenth-century England. John Gower wrote of the ‘newe guise of Beawme’ in his Confessio Amantis, and Alfred Thomas convincingly explores the wider implications of these influences. Richard II married Anne of Bohemia in 1382, and she died in 1394. Anne was the daughter of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, who had been brought up at the French ro…
The Essential Works of Thomas More
World of Echo
This study of the role of extra-semantic sound is primarily literary in scope and methodology, but will be of great interest to historians of the senses, the emotions, religious mysticism and the public political sphere. The subject of the book is neither language nor music, but the sounds which exist beyond these: ‘This immersive experience in sound unmoored from exact signification and the rebounding of ideas and associations that such experien…
Landscapes for Neolithic People in Mainland, Orkney
Neolithic occupation of the Orkney Islands, in the north of Scotland, probably began in the mid fourth millennium cal BC, culminating in a range of settlements, including stone-built houses, varied stone-built tombs and two noteworthy stone circles. The environmental and landscape context of the spectacular archaeology, however, remains poorly understood. We applied the Multiple Scenario Approach (MSA) to Neolithic pollen records from Mainland, O…
Copper Mining in the Bronze Age at Mynydd Parys, Anglesey, Wales
The Bronze Age in Britain is now a term often used to include both the first use of copper c . 2400 bc and also tin-bronze from c . 2100 bc , all of which required the extensive use of copper. Prehistoric mining for this metal has been identified in surface and underground workings in Parys Mine, Mynydd Parys, Anglesey, although almost all of the surface workings are now obscured by the extensive deep spoil from more recent mining in the industri…
Punishment and Medieval Education, by Ben Parsons
This beautifully written book offers a range of insights into the role of discipline in medieval pedagogy. The conclusions are nuanced and acknowledge a range of practices and understandings of the functions of physical correction. At the same time, Ben Parsons constructs a sophisticated argument about the ways in which discipline was problematised and contained, and the ways in which it was deemed to be bound up in the developing subjectivity of…

Middle Neolithic pits and a burial at West Amesbury, Wiltshire
Excavations on the south-eastern slopes of King Barrow Ridge, 1.5 km east of Stonehenge, revealed five pits, a grave and other features of Middle Neolithic date. Analysis of the pit assemblages and the partial inhumation interred in the grave has provided insights into lifeways in this landscape in the late fourth millennium cal BC. Evidence suggests that the area was visited by a pastoralist, mobile community on a semi-regular basis for a signif…
Tempo of a Mega-henge
Radiocarbon dating and Bayesian chronological modelling have provided precise new dating for the henge monument of Mount Pleasant in Dorset, excavated in 1970–1. A total of 59 radiocarbon dates are now available for the site and modelling of these has provided a revised sequence for the henge enclosure and its various constituent parts: the timber palisaded enclosure, the Conquer Barrow, and the ditch surrounding Site IV, a concentric timber and …

Slavery After Rome, 500–1100, by Alice Rio
In this richly researched book, Alice Rio explores a period during which the notion of unfreedom has long puzzled historians. Roman slavery has, of course, attracted reams of scholarship; serfdom after the twelfth century continues to provoke seemingly endless debate. The intervening period has often been marginalised, or seen as transitional. This, then, is an extremely important book, reinstating the complexity and subtlety of the ways in which…

Exploring contamination (intrusion and residuality) in the archaeobotanical record
To Cut a Long Story Short
In the context of unanswered questions about the nature and development of the Late Neolithic in Orkney, we present a summary of research up to 2015 on the major site at the Ness of Brodgar, Mainland Orkney, concentrating on the impressive buildings. Finding sufficient samples for radiocarbon dating was a considerable challenge. There are indications, from both features and finds, of activity pre-dating the main set of buildings exposed so far by…

Wiggle-Matching Using Known-Age Pine from Jermyn Street, London
A slice of pine from the period covered by single-year calibration data (Stuiver 1993) was selected to serve as part of the quality assurance procedures of the English Heritage radiocarbon dating program, following successful wiggle-matching of 14 C measurements from structural 15th century English oak timbers (Hamilton et al. 2007). The timber selected was a roofing element from a house on Jermyn Street, central London, demonstrated by dendrochr…

When and Why? The Chronology and Context of Flint Mining at Grime’s Graves, Norfolk, England
New radiocarbon dating and chronological modelling have refined understanding of the character and circumstances of flint mining at Grime’s Graves through time. The deepest, most complex galleried shafts were worked probably from the third quarter of the 27th century cal bc and are amongst the earliest on the site. Their use ended in the decades around 2400 cal bc , although the use of simple, shallow pits in the west of the site continued for pe…

Prehistoric and Dark Age Settlement Remains from Cheviot Quarry, Milfield Basin, Northumberland
Archaeological excavations in advance of quarrying at Cheviot Quarry, Northumb. have produced important evidence for Neolithic, Late Bronze Age and Dark Age settlements. Neolithic pit features containing domestic midden material including broken pottery, lithics and cereal grains from two distinct parts of the quarry have provided evidence for what is interpreted as settlement and subsistence activity from the Early and Later Neolithic periods. T…
Smuts And The Preamble To The UN Charter
The Charter of the United Nations, adopted in San Francisco in 1945, marked a new approach to international relations - a break with the concept of balance of power and the beginning of a new era of global interdependence. Despite the tensions of the Cold War, the UN Charter has retained its authority among the founder nations and the 100 plus countries that have joined. Its essence is embodied in the 200 words of the Preamble, which was incorpor…
The Balfour Formula and the Evolution of the Commonwealth
The 75th anniversary of the 1926 Imperial Conference in London—almost coinciding, as it does, with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Brisbane—is an appropriate moment to look again at the work of the Conference and to assess its significance for the subsequent evolution of the Commonwealth. This article surveys the context in which the Imperial Conference of 1926 met; describes the work of the Balfour Committee and the developments …

Thomas Becket, William Warham and the Crisis of the Early Tudor Church
England's first Tudor monarchs were formally devoted to the cult of St Thomas of Canterbury. In popular memory, however, Thomas was a champion of law and custom, an opponent of untrammelled royal power, and – especially among the clergy – a martyr for ecclesiastical ‘liberties’. This suggests that the pre-Reformation Church was considerably less ‘monarchical’ than is sometimes supposed. In the 1530s Thomas became a powerful symbol of resistance t…
Mesolithic and Early Neolithic activity along the Dee
Excavation on a gravel ridge beside the River Dee in Aberdeen revealed a small ovoid building of early Neolithic date. Not only does this add to the very small corpus of early Neolithic buildings yet excavated in Scotland, but the survival of floors and hearths also allows some analysis of functions within the building. The structural, artefactual and radiocarbon evidence suggest that this was a permanent building in use over at least a generatio…
The Catholme Ceremonial Complex, Staffordshire, UK
During the 1960s and 1970s, aerial reconnaissance on the northern side of the confluence of the Rivers Trent, Tame, and Mease in Staffordshire revealed a cluster of features indicative of prehistoric ceremonial activity. Some of the features within the cluster are morphologically unique, but a lack of previous investigation meant that their dating, phasing, and function were unknown. This paper details the results of a multi-disciplinary approach…
Mumpsimus and Sumpsimus
Henry VIII's appearance before the assembled houses of parliament on Christmas Eve 1545 was perhaps his finest hour. In what has been called a ‘pioneer royal Christmas broadcast’, the king delivered an impassioned and eloquent speech lamenting the religious divisions that afflicted his kingdom, and urging his subjects towards unity and charity.The phrase is Diarmaid MacCulloch's: Thomas Cranmer: a life, New Haven–London 1996, 348. According to Wi…

The Rood of Boxley, the Blood of Hailes and the Defence of the Henrician Church
Recent research has rendered untenable the glib characterisation of the Henrician Reformation as ‘Catholicism without the Pope’, but the essential nature of the motives and achievements of Henry vra and his ministers in the 1530s and 1540s remains a controversial issue. To J. K. McConica, the polity created in the 1530s was an ‘Erasmian’ one, with the views of the great humanist on such matters as vernacular Scripture, superstitious pilgrimage an…

The Rest is Silence
How did the fear of death co-exist with the promise of Christian afterlife in the culture and literature of the English Renaissance? This book exposes a sharp edge of blasphemous protest against mortality that runs through revenge plays such as The Spanish Tragedy and Hamlet, and through plays of procreation such as for Measure and Macbeth. Tactics of denial appear in the vengefulness that John Donne directs toward female bodies for failing to be…
