Off the Record
George Treby’s ‘Cases in the King’s Bench, 1667–1672’ at the Middle Temple Library provides a unique, behind-the-scenes glimpse of both proceedings and personalities in the Westminster law courts. These detailed manuscript reports include proceedings from other courts (such as the landmark Bushell’s Case [1670], in Common Pleas), as well as substantial shorthand insertions and marginalia. Treby’s carefully coded annotations range from commonplace…
Inside the Commons Committee of Secrecy
This article examines the hitherto undeciphered shorthand notes of George (later Sir George) Treby, an opposition MP and lawyer and the chairman of the house of commons committee of secrecy investigating the Popish Plot (1678–81). These shorthand memoranda, draft letters and marginalia not only open up a glimpse into the secret proceedings of this mysterious committee, composed of the leading opponents of Charles II and the duke of York in the lo…
Picturing War
Previous studies of First World War photography focus on soldiers’ experiences and professional photographers’ work, with little attention paid to women’s ‘amateur’ war photography. Canadian trained nurses’ photo albums and scrapbooks provide a rich, layered, and gendered resource for understanding how these professional women commemorated their overseas war experiences. This study examines nurses’ visual interpretations of their wars, studying n…
His Barbarous Usages’, Her ‘Evil Tongue’
This article analyses and compares the defences, verdicts and punishments of both men and women tried at the Old Bailey for the murder of their spouses or common-law partners from 1674 to 1790, a period that witnessed the gradual if ultimately momentous ‘lawyerisation’ of criminal trial. The vast majority of these cases continued, however, to resemble ‘sentencing hearings’, focusing less on an adversarial contest over guilt or innocence than on m…
God's Hat and the Highwayman's Shoes
This essay examines a wide range of print sources in order to flesh out and to explicate those visual elements of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century trial and execution so central to understanding the ways in which authority could be contested, either passively or actively. Defiant courtroom and gallows sartorial gestures are situated both in the context of broader early modern beliefs regarding social hierarchy and legitimate authority and the …
God's Tribunal
This paper explores the ways in which the early modern English execution functioned as a forum in which various, and often competing, notions of guilt and innocence were expressed. In the context of a culture which placed an inordinate emphasis on the significance of the behaviour and last dying words of men and women teetering on the brink of ‘Judgement and Eternity’, the gallows became, in essence, ‘God's tribunal – the site where solemn oaths …
This Death Some Strong and Stout Hearted Man Doth Choose”
he [that] is judged mute, that is dumme by contumacie...his condemnation is to be pressed to death, which is one of the cruellest deathes that may be: he is layd upon a table, and an other uppon him, and so much weight of stones or lead laide uppon that table, while as his bodie be crushed, and his life by that violence taken from him. This death some strong and stout hearted man doth choose, for being not condemned of felonie, his bloud is not c…

Correspondence, Constructs, and Qualification in World War I
This paper examines the archival correspondence of Vera Brittain and three companions to demonstrate the workings of censorship and self-censorship in wartime. Using Mikhail Bakhtin's notion of dialogism, I replace the traditional active soldier-writer/passive civilian-reader model with a model that envisions both reader and writer as active and influential, and as shaped by past and future discussions and "worldviews." Censorship thus becomes a …
