The First Vanguard, 1586–1630
The royal ship Vanguard, the first of many English warships to bear that name, served three sovereigns between its construction in 1586 and scrapping in 1630. This article examines Vanguard’s readiness, equipment, manning and deployment over 44 years, from the Armada battle of 1588 to the Cadiz campaign of 1596, from the 1620–1 expedition against the pirates of Algiers to the controversial French loan in 1625, and through phases of rest, refit an…
The Politics of Shipwreck in Early Elizabethan England
This article examines the social, economic, and political impact of shipwrecks in early Elizabethan England. It considers the frequency of major mishaps among expanding maritime traffic, the transfer of goods from sea to shore, and the frameworks of law for adjudicating their proceeds. It uses three cases from the 1560s involving Mary, Queen of Scots, the Earl of Northumberland, and the Warden of the Cinque Ports, to understand how the Elizabetha…
Who Ruled Tudor England
Captain Pennington's perplexity
The contentious loan of English ships to France in 1625 has usually been treated as a political scandal contributing to the impeachment of the duke of Buckingham. Here it is examined as a maritime episode, particularly challenging for Captain John Pennington of the royal ship Vanguard. English mariners were opposed to serving under the French, and vehemently against allowing their vessels to combat the Huguenots at La Rochelle. Inconsistencies in…
The Liberty and the London
Little has been written about the history of English underwater salvage in the mid-seventeenth century. The navy of the 1650s and the 1660s needed divers and salvagers for their expanded operations, especially during wars against the Dutch. Ships sunk deep at sea were irretrievable, but vessels lost near shore in tidal waters could yield recoverable materials. This article offers new insights into wreck recovery during the period of the Interregn…

Puritan Martyrs in Island Prisons
Charles I's Star Chamber prosecution of the lawyer William Prynne, the minister Henry Burton, and the physician John Bastwick generated both contemporary and historiographical controversy, mostly concerned with their writings, their trial, and their punishment in London. This article turns attention to their unusual offshore incarceration on the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, and the Scillies between 1637 and 1640. It examines the material, social,…
Charles I's most loyal subject
Thomas Harrison, an otherwise obscure cleric, was tried in 1638 after publicly accusing the Ship Money judge Sir Richard Hutton of high treason. He spent his remaining eleven years in prison, writing letters and petitions, while attempting to develop a system for universal knowledge. This article uses scribal and printed reports of legal proceedings, alongside Harrison's letters, to examine his claims of orthodoxy and allegiance. The case illumin…

Evangelical ethnographers and English Gypsies from the 1790s to the 1830s
Between 1792 and 1836 the Christian evangelists Thomas Tattershall, John Hoyland, Thomas Blackley, Samuel Roberts, and James Crabb published accounts of their efforts to ‘improve’ English Gypsies. Though their missionary activities failed, their writings preserve valuable ethnographic observations about pre-Victorian Gypsies. This article examines the prejudices, impressions, and influence of these five authors, and the information about Gypsies …
Trouble With Gypsies in Early Modern England
This article explores the social, legal, and administrative response in Tudor and early Stuart England to people known in law as ‘Egyptians’ or ‘counterfeit Egyptians’ but commonly called ‘Gypsies’. It argues that such people differed from ordinary poor vagrants in their heritage, their language, and such activities as horse dealing and fortune-telling. Elizabethan and Jacobean publications placed Gypsies on the fringes of fecklessness, criminali…

England on Edge
This book deals with the collapse of the government of Charles I, the disintegration of the Church of England, and the accompanying cultural panic that led to civil war. Focused on the years 1640 to 1642, it examines stresses and fractures in social, political, and religious culture, and the emergence of an unrestrained popular press. Hundreds of people not normally seen in historical surveys make appearances here, in a drama much larger than the…

It covers the crucial topics of the Reformation through narratives, reports, literary works, orthodox and unorthodox religious writing, institutional church documents, and parliamentary proceedings. Helpful introductions put each of the sources in context and make this a…
Early Modern Space Travel and the English Man in the Moon
ENGLISHMEN, was comfortingly familiar yet achingly distant.Countrymen looked to the moon, "the queen of heaven," to understand "alterations and changes of humors, times, seasons," and perturbations of "man's body, the air, and all other things under her orb."The moon and its phases helped regulate mundane activities, from the planting of crops to the letting of blood, as well as governed the washing of the tides. 1 Lunar light facilitated nightti…
Book Burning in Tudor and Stuart England
This article treats book burning and censorship in England between the 1520s and the 1640s as part of the communications repertoire of the early modern state. Combating heresy, blasphemy, and sedition, Tudor and Stuart authorities subjected transgressive works to symbolic execution at key sites in London and the universities.The addition of the hangman to the ceremony in the 1630s reinforced the authority of the state over texts. But the ritual w…

The Protestation Protested, 1641 and 1642
Parliament's Protestation of May 1641 pledged subscribers to defend the protestant doctrine of the Church of England against all popery and popish innovations, while upholding the honour of the king, the privileges of parliament, and the liberties of the subject. The following twelve months saw contentious debate about the ambiguity of these phrases and the conflicting obligations they entailed. Leaders of the political nation subscribed the Prot…

While remaining appropriately humble about the crudity of his data and the limitations of his sources, the social historian who is willing to employ numerical methods and statistical procedures can make reasonably confident estimates of the extent of illiteracy in early modern England. A careful examination of the ability of witnesses before the ecclesiastical courts to sign their depositions, of testators to sign their wills, of applicants for m…
Gender Trouble and Cross-Dressing in Early Modern England
A celebrated article in Shakespeare Quarterly opens with the question, “how many people cross-dressed in Renaissance England?” Jean Howard, who posed this intriguing question, suggests that disruption of the semiotics of dress, gender, and identity during the late Elizabethan and Jacobean periods points to “a sex-gender system under pressure” and a patriarchal culture disturbed by profound anxieties and contradictions. Even if the answer to her q…

Educational Opportunity in Tudor and Stuart England
A GUARDED OPTIMISM seems to govern most appraisals of Tudor and Stuart education. Some writers have been so impressed by achievements of period, especially of years 1560 to 1640, they see not only an ferment involving an increase in number of schools but also an expansion of opportunities which brought schooling within reach of hitherto deprived lower members of society. The expansion of printing as well as expansion of education leads R. D. Alti…

The Protestant Calendar and the Vocabulary of Celebration in Early Modern England
Under Elizabeth and the early Stuarts the English developed a relationship to time—current time within the cycle of the year and historical time with reference to the past—that set them apart from the rest of early modern Europe. All countries followed a calendar that was rooted in the rhythms of ancient Europe and that marked the passage of time by reference to the life of Christ and his saints. But only in England was this traditional calendar …

Literacy and the Social Order
In this exploration of the social context of reading and writing in pre-industrial England, David Cressy tackles important questions about the limits of participation in the mainstream of early modern society. To what extent could people at different social levels share in political, religious, literary and cultural life; how vital was the ability to read and write; and how widely distributed were these skills? Using a combination of humanist and…

ENGLISH emigrants and travelers who journeyed to America in the seventeenth century underwent a crucial seasoning process, a passage in several senses of the word. Whether they shipped to the Chesapeake or sailed to the island colonies or New England, the voyagers experienced travails that could not be met on dry land. Puritans in particular, sailing to New England in the 163os, perceived their journey as a series of tests and revelations, a prim…
