Regional and local divergence in welfare provision in England and Wales, 1776–1815
This article uses the township‐level data on welfare expenditure and provision gathered by parish officers in England and Wales at three points between 1776 and 1815 to illuminate regional and local differences during the period. These data have been linked to geographic information system (GIS) mapping systems, facilitating the mapping of parish/township level welfare data across a wide range of variables. Appropriate linkage to the 1801 and 181…
Common Land in Britain
Angus Winchester's engaging and wide-ranging study of common land is of real interest both to rural historians and those in a wider society who since 1850 have sought to reconfigure the ancient right that allowed village communities to share what was usually marginal land on parish fringes and transform it into a universal right to freely access agriculturally unproductive areas of the countryside. The first two-thirds of the book take several pe…
Petticoat Power? Mary Astell's Appropriation of Heroic Virtue for Women
Several recent studies devote themselves to Mary Astell's feminist theory of virtue—her ‘serious proposal to the ladies’ to help women obtain wisdom, equality, and happiness, despite the prejudices of seventeenth-century custom. But there has been little scholarship on Astell's conception of heroic virtues , those exceptional character traits that raise their bearers above the ordinary course of nature. Astell's appropriation of heroic virtue pos…
Women and Stoic ethics in early modern England
This paper provides an overview of women's engagement with Stoic ethics in early modern England (c. 1600-1700). It builds on recent literature in the field by demonstrating that there is a positive gender-inclusive narrative to be told about Stoic philosophy in this time-one that incorporates women's specific concerns and responds to women's lived experiences. To support this claim, we take an interdisciplinary approach and examine several differ…
Catharine Trotter Cockburn on the virtue of atheists
In her Remarks Upon Some Writers (1743), Catharine Trotter Cockburn takes a seemingly radical stance by asserting that it is possible for atheists to be virtuous. In this paper, I examine whether or not Cockburn’s views concerning atheism commit her to a naturalistic ethics and a so-called radical enlightenment position on the independence of morality and religion. First, I examine her response to William Warburton’s critique of Pierre Bayle’s ar…
From Nobility and Excellence to Generosity and Rights
This article examines two early modern feminist works, Woman Not Inferior to Man (1739) and Woman's Superior Excellence Over Man (1740), written by “Sophia, A Person of Quality.” Scholars once dismissed these texts as plagiarisms or semi-translations of François Poulain de la Barre's De l’égalité des deux sexes (1673). More recently, however, Guyonne Leduc has drawn attention to the original aspects of these treatises by highlighting Sophia's sig…
Selfhood and Self-government in Women’s Religious Writings of the Early Modern Period
Some scholars have identified a puzzle in the writings of Mary Astell (1666–1731), a deeply religious feminist thinker of the early modern period. On the one hand, Astell strongly urges her fellow women to preserve their independence of judgement from men; yet, on the other, she insists upon those same women maintaining a submissive deference to the Anglican church. These two positions appear to be incompatible. In this paper, I propose a histori…

Conway and Charleton on the Intimate Presence of Souls in Bodies
Little is known about the shaping and development of Anne Conway's thought in relation to her early modern contemporaries. In one part of her only surviving treatise, The Principles, Conway criticises "those doctors" who uphold a dualist theory of soul and body, a mechanist conception of body (as dead and inert), and the view that the soul is "intimately present" in the body. In this paper, I argue that here she targets Walter Charleton, a well-k…

Making sense of Detached Kitchens
Over twenty years ago David and Barbara Martin began a debate on the nature and uses of detached kitchens. This article revisits the question but focuses on the archival evidence of two very detailed estate surveys from seventeenth-century Wiltshire to look at what they can tell us about the numbers of detached kitchens surviving at that time and their size and relationship to other domestic outbuildings. It also relates the evidence of rebuildin…
Women on Liberty in Early Modern England
Our modern ideals about liberty were forged in the great political and philosophical debates of the 17th and 18th centuries, but we seldom hear about women's contributions to those debates. This paper examines the ideas of early modern English women - namely Margaret Cavendish, Mary Astell, Mary Overton, 'Eugenia', Sarah Chapone and the civil war women petitioners - with respect to the classic political concepts of negative, positive and republic…
Records of Social and Economic History
The Visitation returns of William Wake, Bishop of Lincoln 1705-16, shed light on the history of over 1200 villages and the people who lived in them in six counties of England in the early years of the eighteenth century. Covering Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, they contain detailed information about the population, religious affiliations, schooling, charities, church attendance, and…

Impressions in the Brain
In the late seventeenth century, a number of women actively embraced the new Cartesian philosophy in their published works.Some appealed both implicitly and explicitly to Descartes's views about the mind's natural ability to find truth; some highlighted the soul's essential nature as a non-bodily substance; and others wrote about the Cartesian method of overcoming the influence of the senses and the passions on the mind. 1 At first glance, it is …

A Woman's Influence? John Locke and Damaris Masham on Moral Accountability
Some scholars suggest that John Locke's revisions to the chapter "Of Power" for the 1694 second edition of his Essay concerning Human Understanding may be indebted to the Cambridge Platonist, Ralph Cudworth. Their claims partly rest on evidence that Locke may have had access to Cudworth's unpublished manuscript treatises on free will and moral accountability. In this paper, Jacqueline Broad examines an alternative suggestion - the claim that Cudw…

Using three detailed case studies from southern England, it focuses on the dynamics of differing social groups within the parish. It also looks at the role of the law, looking beyond the statutes to the parts played by King's Bench, Quarter Sessions and individual justices and petty sessions in creating a diversity of experiences for the poor.

The fate of the Midland yeoman
The history of rural landownership at the village level has been dominated by a series of particular problems. At one end of the spectrum the process of estate-building by gentry and aristocracy, the transition from feudal manorial tenures to compact tenanted estates, and the creation of ‘closed’ or estate villages, has been relatively well documented. At the other the ‘problem’ of the disappearance of the small landowner, prompted a century ago …

The Management of Rural Building in Seventeenth-Century Buckinghamshire
Documentary sources remain a neglected area of vernacular studies. The analysis of the accounts for two buildings a short distance apart in rural Buckinghamshire attempts to explore the process of building at this level in the early modern period and to respond to some of the broader issues raised by Christopher Dyer at the 1996 Winter Meeting. It is offered as a contribution to the current debate on the future direction of the subject
