The Church Sinister
The exorcism of Michael Taylor in 1974, which led to murder, pushed Anglican exorcisms into the public gaze. This article proposes a particular trajectory of Anglicanism and the preternatural into popular culture and popular awareness of religion. The Taylor case was one of the catalysts for private anxiety among clergy about the preternatural in the Church of England. By the early 1970s, some clergy ignited public debate including open letters a…

Humanities and the Politics of Higher Education in 1980s Popular Culture
The Conservative government in 1980s Britain made significant cuts to university funding for humanities. This essay examines how responses to these cuts resonated in contemporary television drama set in universities and treats this drama as an important source for interpreting the history of the humanities during the Margaret Thatcher era. The study is embedded in key points of the history of the humanities as disciplines troubled by government p…

Bishops and Power in Early Modern England
Martin Heale, editor. The Prelate in England and Europe, 1300–1560
The Prelate in England and Europe, 1300–1560 focuses overwhelmingly on bishops in England, with occasional chapters on continental history. Among the prelates included are major historical figures such as William Wykeham, Louis Amboise, and Henry Chichele. The emphasis in this edited collection is on the most elite levels of medieval and early modern society, such as chancellors of England and courtiers of Francis I. Inevitably, it also focuses o…
The Archbishop and the Lord Chief Justice
Senior members of the English Church became involved in cases of possession and dispossession in the later sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. They sought to exonerate women accused of witchcraft, and their involvement led to the disproving of the efficacy of dispossessions performed by anti-episcopal ministers. Although a number of bishops intervened in witchcraft cases, this work was most assiduously carried out by Richard Bancroft, the …

Martians, Demons, Vampires, and Vicars
British science fiction is noteworthy for its juxtaposition of the familiar with the threatening, notably locating alien invasions in the Home Counties. This apposition can mean that one emblem of traditional Englishness—the Church of England—sits in tension with a cosmology which includes Martians, alien demons, and other preternatural menaces which challenge Christian teachings on the origins and mechanics of both earthly and heavenly realms. P…

The Universality of Discipline
Cet article offre une analyse d’un aspect relativement négligé de la pensé épiscopalienne anglaise du dix-septième siècle. Il s’agit de la dégradation et des violences éprouvées par des membres épiscopaliens durant les guerres civiles, qui ont ensuite servi d’arguments en faveur de la puissance épiscopalienne. Pendant la Restauration, certains éléments de l’Église épiscopalienne ont instauré une politique que les chercheurs ont qualifiée de «High…
