Show Me the Data
This comment examines the rapidly evolving ecosystem of historical research data in the United Kingdom, where cultural heritage collections are increasingly digitised, commercialised and fragmented. Historians face growing challenges in discovering, accessing and reusing data as resources move behind paywalls, and repositories remain scattered, without a national infrastructure to ensure long-term preservation or discoverability. Drawing on examp…
The Living Machine
This article examines a long-standing question in the history of technology concerning the trope of the living machine. The authors do this by using a cutting-edge computational method, which they apply to large collections of digitized texts. In particular, they demonstrate the affordances of a neural language model for historical research. In a deliberate maneuver, the authors use a type of model, often portrayed as sentient today, to detect fi…
John Milton’s Network and the Republic of Letters
In this article, Esther van Raamsdonk and Ruth Ahnert apply social network analysis to show us Milton’s influence on seventeenth-century literary, philosophical, and diplomatic networks. Their analysis offers a remarkably clear sense of Milton’s direct and indirect influence in England and on the Continent as well as demonstrating ways in which Milton might have been influenced himself by European intellectual, literary, and political culture. In…
Metadata, Surveillance and the Tudor State
In 2013 the whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed a surveillance programme called PRISM, within which the United States National Security Agency (NSA) had accessed and analysed the metadata from phone calls, emails, and other digital data stored by Verizon and nine internet companies. This article seeks to show that surprisingly deep insights can be gleaned from metadata by applying a range of easily available network-analysis algorithms to a bod…
Rivkah Zim, The Consolations of Writing
The psalms and the English Reformation
A Community Under Attack
This article uses mathematical and computational techniques to reconstruct and analyze the social and textual organization of the underground community of Protestants living in England during the reign of Mary I from 289 surviving letters
The Rise of Prison Literature in the Sixteenth Century
Examining works by some of the most famous prisoners from the early modern period including Thomas More, Lady Jane Grey and Thomas Wyatt, Ruth Ahnert presents the first major study of prison literature dating from this era. She argues that the English Reformation established the prison as an influential literary sphere. In the previous centuries we find only isolated examples of prison writings, but the religious and political instability of the …
Rise of Prison Literature in the Sixteenth Century
The Culture of Inquisition in Medieval England
Groundbreaking essays show the variety and complexity of the roles played by inquisition in medieval England. Inquisition in medieval and early modern England has typically been the subject of historical rather than cultural investigation, and focussed on heresy. Here, however, inquisition is revealed as playing a broader role in medievalEnglish culture, not only in relation to sanctions like excommunication, penance and confession, but also in t…
The Book of Common Prayer
In addition to other momentous British occasions (the Olympics, the Diamond Jubilee), 2012 has seen numerous events organised by the Prayer Book Society to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Book of Common Prayer. The 1662 text of the prayer book has been handed down to the modern age, largely unchanged: although a number of new alternative Anglican service books have come into use over the last fifty years, its services continue to be practi…
The Prison in Early Modern Drama
Prison scenes and references to incarceration are ubiquitous in early modern drama, ranging from the Counter‐scene in Ben Jonson’s Every Man Out of his Humour , to Hamlet’s famous statement that ‘Denmark’s a prison’. This article considers the reason for the early modern obsession with incarceration, providing a survey of the influence of contemporary prison legislation and conditions on city comedies; the use of chronicles and martyrologies in t…
