Students as pawns: A qualitative study of the impacts of encountering incivility on medical students during clinical placements
BACKGROUND: Incivility is a pervasive issue in healthcare, known to affect patient safety and clinician wellbeing. However, its impact on medical students during clinical placements remains underexplored. This study investigates how experiences of incivility influence medical students' sense of belonging and professional identity. METHODS: Using reflexive thematic analysis, qualitative data from 58 final-year medical students at an Australian uni…

Seeing Eternity: How Earlier Poets Can Open Our Eyes to Faith
This article explores how poets from the seventeenth century, including John Donne, George Herbert, Gertrude More and Henry Vaughan, can still speak to modern readers with immediacy and vision about matters of faith. In the first two sections, the poets are shown to give voice to such enduring human emotions in response to God as wonder and joy but also as sorrow and frustration, challenging us as readers to experience faith more richly and deepl…
The Jewish Diaspora
Though Jews were almost entirely physically absent from England between the end of the thirteenth and the end of the seventeenth centuries, they were nevertheless the source of considerable interest. They served as a focal point for the volatile English–Spanish relations of the period. Their writings were extensively consulted in the controversy surrounding the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. In addition, with the fitfu…
Settlers in New Worlds
Early modern colonial survival meant that imaginative writings about settlers in new worlds outnumbered imaginative writings by those settlers; yet new world settlers did leave literary artefacts of their interpretive communities. Writing about new worlds tended to fire the fancy, either in fantastic exploration narratives, fabulous colonial prospecti, reflective essays, or in the more outright fictions of dramatic and utopian literature, and of …
The Sermon
This chapter examines the sermon in post-Reformation England, and its development as the pre-eminent genre of instruction, edification, and conversion to Christian believers of all stripes. Beginning with its roots in traditional religious and classical forms and its development as a flexible form restrained by ecclesiastical regulation, censorship, and gender, the chapter emphasizes the sermon’s radically occasional nature and its elusive perfor…
The Bible
The Christian religion is based on the Bible, and no book had a greater influence on early modern English literature. The Bible was at the heart of the early modern culture of translation, and the English language was affected by the efforts of William Tyndale, Miles Coverdale, and others to properly render the Bible’s original Hebrew and Greek. Since understanding and following the Bible was necessary to salvation, and the Bible is often difficu…
The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern English Literature and Religion
This pioneering handbook offers a comprehensive consideration of the dynamic relationship between English literature and religion in the early modern period. The years from the coronation of Henry VII to the death of Queen Anne were turbulent times in the history of the British Church—and produced some of the greatest devotional poetry, sermons, polemics, and epics of literature in English. The early modern interaction of rhetoric and faith is ad…

Ah Famous Citie: Women, Writing, and Early Modern London
This article explores aspects of the textual relationship between women and early modern London by examining three verbal 'snapshots' of the city in works either written by women or focusing on women in their urban environment. The first text, Isabella Whitney's 'Wyll and Testament' (1573), addresses London from a rural perspective, treating the city as a fickle male to whom she wants to hand back all his treasures. The poem constructs a vivid an…

Anne Clifford and Samuel Pepys: Diaries and Homes
This article examines the diaries of two great English characters of the seventeenth century, Lady Anne Clifford (1590–1676) and Samuel Pepys (1633–1703), in order to explore their representation of houses and ideas of home. Taking these two texts as case studies, it explores the significance of houses in relation to family history and personal advancement, as well as their function as places of self-fulfillment. Contrasts of gender and class pla…

Effect of smoke-free policies on the behaviour of social smokers
One in nine (11.5%) of smokers say that adoption of smoke-free policies would prompt them to quit smoking entirely without a significant decrease in attendance at pubs and nightclubs. There can be few other initiatives as simple, cheap, and popular that would achieve so much for public health

Resistant Structures. Particularity, Radicalism, and Renaissance Texts
This is an exciting book in the tradition of criticism which has come to be expected from Richard Strierthat is, a forceful mode combining polemical energies with genuinely serious scholarship.In his previous writing, particularly on the poetry of George Herbert, he has made significant interventions into the critical debate, always eager to fight a corner (especially that of the Calvinist Herbert) but backing up his discursive blows with the sup…
Women and Literature in Britain, 1500–1700
This is the first comprehensive introduction to the works and social contexts of women writers in early modern Britain, a period when it was considered unfeminine to write and yet women were the authors of many poems, translations, conduct books, autobiographies, plays, pamphlets and other texts. Drawing together the pioneering work of feminist literary critics and historians, this survey examines ways in which the idea of woman was constructed i…
