Participative rights in Welsh primary schools
This paper presents the findings from the initial stage of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded project which examines the pedagogic practices that embed young children’s participative rights in lower primary classrooms in Wales. An evaluation of relevant legislation and policy in Wales from 2000 to 2022 was undertaken to explicate the positioning of teachers and their responsibilities regarding children’s participative rights. D…
Constructing child participation in early years classrooms
This paper addresses the research problem that arises from evidence that, despite supportive policy contexts, enactment of pedagogies that attend to young children's participation rights in classroom settings is highly variable. We report our exploration of the ways in which the child, and child participation are constructed in early education settings in Wales, where legislation and policy around children's rights has been a key feature of the W…
Bowels, emotion, and metaphor in early modern English sermons
This article argues that a rhetorical approach to the history of the emotions helps balance the emphasis on humours that characterises recent scholarship in what has been called the “new humoralism.” By examining sermons by a range of figures, including John Donne, but with a focus on Richard Sibbes’s 1639 volume Bowels Opened, the article reveals the extent to which emotions could be understood in the early seventeenth century as God-given, rath…
Disciplinary Perspectives on 'Thinking with' Sex
The following review forum comes out of a set of conversations held during a day-long workshop with Valerie Traub on her book, Thinking Sex with the Early Moderns (2016), at the Institute for Advan
He being dead, yet speaketh
Recent studies of the early modern sermon argue that we need to read them in their historical context, but these studies often define context to mean, primarily, the original performance of the sermon, emphasizing how the paratexts of printed sermons preserve information about the time, place, and occasion of original delivery. Although I agree that understanding the conditions of the preached sermon is important, I suggest that the authority of …
Introduction
This is an introduction to the special issue on the early modern English sermon. It gives some context to the issue’s exploration of the importance of rhetoric to genre, and it argues that we should read early modern sermons as, in certain ways, precursors to modern literary criticism. Moreover, this introduction argues that sermons are especially important for studying the intersection of rhetoric and emotion. Finally, it offers an outline of th…
The Art of Feeling in Seventeenth-Century English Sermons
This article suggests that the early modern English sermon teaches an art of feeling through rhetorical efforts to arouse emotion. Since “natural” emotions were understood to be contaminated by original sin, preachers saw it as important that their sermons teach their audiences how to feel godly emotions, emotions that the preacher himself was supposed to feel as he preached. The sermon genre, therefore, offers a mimetic theory of the emotions to…
Dearly Beloved
Early seventeenth-century English sermons often address their audiences directly as “beloved”. This form of address aims to create a Christian community of love; but, as classical rhetorical theory holds, the preacher’s ability to move his audience depends on his ability to be moved himself. At the same time, “beloved” is clearly a conventional term, one used by preachers such as Joseph Hall, John Donne, Richard Sibbes and John Preston, as well a…
Beyond Shakespeare
Even after years of important and useful work, early modern adaptation studies remains largely limited to two areas: Shakespeare and film. This limitation is understandable. An adaptor himself, Shakespeare has also inspired countless adaptations and appropriations over the centuries. Film Shakespeare carries obvious appeal for those interested in early modern adaptation, not only for the magic of Shakespeare's name but also because much adaptatio…
Elizabeth I, Patriotism, and the Imagined Nation in Three Eighteenth-Century Plays
The cult of Elizabeth I shaped three eighteenth-century plays: James Ralph's The Fall of the Earl of Essex in 1731; Henry Jones' The Earl of Essex: A Tragedy, first performed in 1753; and Henry Bro
