Levina Teerlinc, Mary I's Legal Limner?
Levina Teerlinc's work as a limner, the Middle English word for those who illuminated books and documents, has failed to earn as much attention as her portrait miniatures, and this rich source of artistic and prosopographical context has not been thoroughly examined before this article. In particular, bringing Teerlinc's documentary decoration fully into consideration reveals a dense period of work for Mary I's administrations preceding the artis…
American Midnight: The Great War, A Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis. By AdamHochschild, New York: Mariner Books, 2022
As the title of his book indicates, Adam Hochschild's goal in American Midnight: The Great War, A Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis is to make his readers aware of a forgotten attack on the civil liberties of Americans by a state apparatus designed to insure loyalty during and after World War I. A careful analysis of the wartime repression and the Red Scare, Hochschild argues, will arm Americans with the tools to recognize and resis…
Italian Art and English Artists in the English Quattrocento: Naturally Seeking Out Things Italian
Rather than resist humanism and Renaissance art styles, fifteenth-century English illuminators engaged the humanist art style known as bianchi girari and developed their own Anglo-Italian versions. They were the only non-Italian artists in Europe to do so. Extant examples suggest that Tito Livio Frulovisi introduced Cristoforo Cortese’s bianchi girari initials to England when he arrived in Duke Humphrey of Gloucester’s household in 1436. English …
The Charterhouse Antiphonal Fragment
An item included within the collection of manuscript leaves known as Ghent, University Library, MS BHSL.HS.3020 can now be identified as a fragment of the sole surviving English Carthusian antiphonal, and the third extant historiated English antiphonal. Specific features of the chant identify the use as Carthusian, and the illumination localizes the antiphonal’s production to London in the early Tudor period, making it likely that the volume was …
We were not to be eaten but to work’: Foodways, grief, and fatherhood in Charles Ball’s narrative of slavery
This essay examines how Charles Ball’s Slavery in the United States used food and foodways to articulate the grief of enslaved fathers as well as to define the meaning of fatherhood for enslaved men. The article builds on a growing historical literature that explores enslaved manhood. Unlike most of this literature that largely focus on how enslaved men leveraged the provider/protective role, this essay argues that food enabled the narrator to cr…

Reintroducing the English Books of Hours, or “English Primers”
In 1956 Henry Hargreaves wrote a short notice that drew scholarly attention to a group of English translations of the Book of Hours: although he identified the translation of some of them as being drawn from the Wycliffite Bible, they have not been added to the lists of Wycliffite Bible manuscripts and no further research has been done on them. The English Hours pose a serious puzzle to modern scholarship on late medieval England. On one hand, th…
Prosopography of the Book and the Politics of Legal Language in Late Medieval England
This article explores the intersection of book history and prosopography. It uses several case studies of copies of the medieval parliamentary statutes translated into English, together with later copies of English statutes translated into French, to argue for both thick prosopographical study of individual volumes and large, statistically based studies of books drawn from the largest possible data sets. Together, these methods amount to a new “p…

Xena On The Cross
This article examines those moments in Xena, Warrior Princess (XWP) in which Xena appears on the cross. Its purpose is to use those moments to explore how the messianic paradigm that dominates western heroic literature and popular culture affects and is reinvented in XWP. The paper argues that while XWP critiques the embedded violence and misogyny within this paradigm, the producers' commitment of XWP to a liberal vision threatens to pre-empt thi…

A Charge Never Easily Made: The Meaning of Respectability and Women’s Work in the Trial of The Reverend William Hogan, 1822
This article examines the early nineteenth century trial of William Hogan, a popular yet controversial Catholic priest, for assault on Mary Connell, a domestic servant and former member of Hogan’s parish. This article is less interested in the facts surrounding Hogan’s alleged assault on Connell as the available evidence is insufficient to evaluate Hogan’s guilt or innocence. Still, the detailed trial transcript that emerges from this case allows…

Red Feminism: American Communism and the Making of Women's Liberation
Kate Weigand's work is a generally successful attempt to restore the legacy of Communist party women to the history of the women's movement. For too long, Weigand argues, historians and activists of the women's movements of the late twentieth century have accepted Mary Inman's contention that the American Communist party had squelched women's voices and prohibited all but the most superficial discussion of women's issues. In contrast to this inte…
Results of a misspent youth: Joan Jett's performance of female masculinity
The article maps Joan Jett's performances from her days with the Runaways in the mid-1970s through her successful solo career in the 1980s to her recent affiliations with the riot grrrls in the 1990s. Unlike some critics, who, while acknowledging Jett's influence on generations of female rock performers, dismiss Jett as an inferior copy of male rock musicians, the author argues that Jett's various performances of female masculinity challenged con…

In the Shadows of Gompers: Lucy Robins and the Politics of Amnesty, 1918–1922
This essay examines Lucy Robins's contributions to the amnesty movement. A protégé of Emma Goldman, Robins undertook her amnesty campaign at Goldman's behest. Frustrated with what she defined as the left's lack of “constructive” solutions, Robins shifted her political alliances and joined the American Federation of Labor. Robins's choice to pursue amnesty within the A.F. of L., the essay argues, sheds important light on the early history of the c…
Writing trash: Truth and the sexual outlaw’s reinvention of lesbian identity
This article focuses on Dorothy Allison's novel Trashto map how truth functions in the so-called 'sexual outlaw's' efforts to establish a legitimate subject position within lesbian feminism. It suggests that truth is the most valued commodity in establishing that position regardless of one's position(s) as a sexual outlaw. Sexual outlaws use truth to move from arguing that their sexuality is one of many legitimate expressions of desire to contend…
