The Northern Star and Its Readers: Intense Listeners, Warm Discussions, and the Making of Democratic Politics, 1838–1848
In the late 1830s, the Northern Star emerged, for a time, as the most widely circulated of all provincial newspapers in Britain. In recent years, historians and literary scholars have begun to explore an important question: how did Chartist readers read the Northern Star ? Of all the different ways of reading the Star , one of the most well-documented and revealing was the group reading experience – an “underrepresented” area in the history of re…
Divine glory in the image of God: Anthropology of divine embodiment in the Ascension of Isaiah
The Ascension of Isaiah accords well with Sommer’s or Bunta’s fluidity models of divine embodiment. It envisions an alternate metaphysics, a universe full of divine glory “embodied” or “moving” not only in the Great Glory but also in seven glories suited to lower powers of sight, in angels and righteous humans, and finally visible from lowest to highest in the Beloved’s humanity. “Extrinsic” and “intrinsic” participation in divine glory explains …
A Bookshop of Their Own: Reading and Print in Chartism, 1838–1850
To become a Chartist was to enter the world that print had made; to do so, most working men and women relied on a national network of sympathetic publishers, printers and booksellers. At the centre of this Chartist print culture was the bookshop. For some time now, historians have recognised the important contributions of booksellers as Chartist leaders and organisers; however, the role of bookshops in shaping Chartist reading practices and exper…
Pre-existence, Naming, and Investiture in the Similitudes of Enoch and in Hebrews
Understanding longings of readers of Wisdom, Philo, and the Similitudes of Enoch , can clarify how to respond to a classic conundrum in Hebrews: how can Hebrews conceive God requiting Jesus’ loud cries and tears (Heb 5:7) by instating him as pre-existent divine Son through whom God created the world? Such readers long to conform to what God knows them to be. Hebrews interprets Psalms to assuage this longing, revealing the Son conformed to God’s k…
Hearts and Minds: The Politics of Everyday Life and Chartism, 1832–1840
In the 1830s, radical and later Chartist leaders and activists tried to link democratic reform to everyday concerns about food and clothing, family and marriage, and sexuality and death. Their critique of Malthusianism and the social and economic effects of 'class legislation', like the Anatomy Act and the New Poor Law, allowed them to engage hearts and emotions and to move beyond high-minded appeals to natural rights and the constitution. At the…
Voices of the People: Democracy and Chartist Political Identity 1830-1870
Approaches to the evaluation of outbreak detection methods
The varied nature of performance evaluation demonstrated in this review supports the need for further development of evaluation methods to improve comparability between studies. Our findings indicate that no single approach can fulfil all evaluation requirements. We propose that the cornerstone approaches to evaluation identified provide key contributions to support internal and external validity and comparability of study findings, and suggest t…
Chartism Remembered: William Aitken, Liberalism, and the Politics of Memory
Early one Sunday morning, in August 1839, “a very authoritative knock" on the door awoke the young Chartist William Aitken and his family. After a thorough search of his house for “revolutionary and seditious documents,” the chief constable and his men placed Aitken under arrest and marched him through the silent streets of Ashton-under-Lyne. Recalling his sense of distress and anguish some thirty years later, Aitken tried to find solace in the u…

Josephus, Contra Apionem and Historical Inquiry in the Roman Rhetorical Schools
Arguing Like an Apocalypse: Galatians and an Ancient Topos Outside The Greco-Roman Rhetorical Tradition
George Kennedy affirms that Galatians rests on ethos, that Paul maintains the appearance of logical argument ‘perhaps more to seem to recognize the possibility of objections and to be prepared to answer them confidently than to provide a developed response’. Kraftchick concurs: ‘Since Paul's case is no more logical than his opponents’ the argument depends on non-logical factors: ethos and pathos.’ Rhetorical interpreters have difficulty tracing a…
Promoting tobacco control policies in northwest Indian tribes
A culturally sensitive consultative process to facilitate adoption by tribal councils of more effective tobacco control policies was developed and evaluated. Thirty-nine Northwest Indian tribes were randomized to early intervention or late intervention conditions. Early intervention tribes received a policy workbook and consultation by means of meetings and telephone calls. Late intervention tribes were assessed but received no assistance or enco…

Living Creatures in the Midst of the Throne: Another Look at Revelation 4.6
R. H. Charles, noting that no one had successfully explained how the living creatures of Rev 4.6 could be at the same time ‘in the middle of the throne’ and ‘around the throne’, boldly but logically throws out έν μέσῳ το θρόνου καί as a gloss. Since no manuscript omits the phrase έν μέσῳ το θρόνου, those with a literary conscience less robust than Charles' have tried to explain it. Yet attempts to interpret έν μέσῳ το θρόνου as ‘in the middle of …
Tyranny, Work and Politics: The 1818 Strike Wave in the English Cotton District
Critics of E. P. Thompson have questioned his emphasis on the ties between radicalism and trade unionism in early nineteenth-century England; historians have likewise described the 1818 strikes as simple wage disputes in which the radicals played a negligible role. This essay challenges these assumptions about the 1818 strikes and radicalism. In the summer of 1818, when a wide range of grievances touched off the strike wave, the radicals rallied …
