Endgame: The Genesis of More’s The Sadness of Christ
This paper locates the genesis of More’s The Sadness of Christ to his understanding that by late spring, 1535 he faced martyrdom. It tracks the striking shift in both genre and dominant metaphor from the Dialogue of Comfort to the Tristitia, and uses More’s letters (and a return to the legal and political maneuvers of his case) to provide a helpful telemetry in accounting for those shifts. Additionally, it argues that because More chose to interp…

Love's Pilgrimage: The Holy Journey in English Renaissance Literature
in occupational mobility is mirrored in a lower-order audience's interaction with ballads, but without any psychological cost to the participants.While Barlow's sketches are, in Fumerton's analysis, unsettling in their depiction of perpetual itinerancy, ballads provide a benign version of unsettled subjectivity that could be freely imagined and cast off as it could not be in real life.Though Fumerton maintains that ballads offer the fullest expre…
A Martyr's Theology of Assent. Reading Thomas More's De Tristitia Christi
Lorsqu'il était emprisonné à la Tour de Londres, Thomas More a écrit une méditation détaillée du récit que font les Écritures de la passion du Christ au jardin de Gethsémani, dans le but de se préparer à son prochain martyr et de témoigner de cette expérience. Son De Tristitia Christi, écrit dans le contexte de contraintes morales et physiques, constitue une étude à caractère dévotionnel qui fournit à son auteur, et aux victimes de persécutions, …

The Two Reformations: The Journey from the Last Days to the New World
In this last collection of his vital, controversial, and accessible writings, Heiko A. Oberman seeks to liberate and broaden our understanding of European Reformation, from its origins in medieval philosophy and theology through Puritan settlers who brought Calvin's vision to New World. Ranging over many topics, Oberman finds fascinating connections between aspects of Reformation and twentieth-century history and thought-most notably connection t…

In this new survey of the development of European intellectual culture between about 1300 and 1535, Anthony Levi offers a fresh view of the Renaissance and the Reformation, calling for a reassessment of the nature of both.

Bring Out Your Dead: The Past as Revelation
The Myth of Pope Joan
In the 9th century a young woman, named Joan, disguised herself as a man in order to follow her lover into an exclusively male world of scholarship. She proved so successful that she ascended the Catholic hierarchy in Rome and was eventually elected Pope. She lasted two years before she became pregnant and died after giving birth during a public procession from the Vatican. or so the legend goes. This volume looks at the history of the myth of Po…
Religious Authority in the Spanish Renaissance
Lu Ann Homza's study of the nature of religious authority in the Spanish Renaissance is arranged in two sections of three chapters each.The first part examines texts and events that yield insights on "explicit statements on hermeneutics" (p.xxiii), while the second group investigates "pastoral materials" (ibid.) that tend to complement the more theoretical findings argued in the first section.Altogether, she suggests that religious authority in t…
Reforming the Tudor Dialogue: A Case Study
This case study assesses the implications of rhetorical style in dialogues by Thomas Becon and his contemporary, Desiderius Erasmus. Becon imitated an Erasmian theme but rejected Erasmus's classically oriented rhetoric and the epistemology it advanced. Instead, he used the dialogue form as a vehicle for what is primarily an oral (homiletic) exhortation, which reveals a profoundly different approach to the pursuit of truth and illustrates the wide…

While the patron had no legal obligation to ensure the proper execution of parochial duties by his appointee, a certain degree of re…
