Abstract

Abstract

Amid present-day conflagrations, this illuminating book reminds us of the sources, and profound consequences, of Christian fundamentalism in the sixteenth century. Simpson focuses on the cultural transformation in early modern England that allowed common people to read the Bible for the first time. The last wave of fundamentalist reading in the West provoked 150 years of violent upheaval; as we approach a second wave, this powerful book alerts us to our peril.

Abstract

The eighteenth century was a key period in the development of the English language, in which the modern standard emerged and many dictionaries and grammars first appeared. This book is divided into thematic sections which deal with issues central to English in the eighteenth century. These include linguistic ideology and the grammatical tradition, the contribution of women to the writing of grammars, the interactions of writers at this time and how politeness was encoded in language, including that on a regional level. The contributions also discuss how language was seen and discussed in public and how grammarians, lexicographers, journalists, pamphleteers and publishers judged on-going change. The novel insights offered in this book extend our knowledge of the English language at the onset of the modern period.

Abstract

Brussel 1565. Cripijn Matsijs is eigenaar van bierbrouwerij en taveerne Au brasseur. Hij wordt in zijn werk bijgestaan door de dienstmeid Stina en haar dochter Eva. Sinds de gevreesde inquisiteur Pieter Titelmans in de stad is, wordt het dagelijkse leven steeds vaker verstoord door openbare executies, waarbij iedereen die commentaar heeft op het katholieke geloof, op de brandstapel belandt. De situatie wordt nog dreigender als de Spaanse koning de hertog van Alva naar de nederlanden stuurt om schoon schip te maken met alle ketterij. Vanaf dat moment is niemand zijn leven meer zeker. Ook Crispijn komt in moeilijkheden en moet Brussel ontvluchten. Hij sluit zich aan bij de bosgeuzen, die zich verzetten tegen de katholieke machthebbers. Maar Crispijn voelt zich niet erg thuis in het ruwe gezelschap. Hij mist niet alleen het leven in Brussel ; ook Eva, op wie hij steeds meer gesteld is geraakt, krijgt hij niet uit zijn gedachten ...

Abstract

During the last decade of Henry VIII's life, his Protestant subjects struggled to reconcile two loyalties: to their Gospel and to their king. This book tells the story of that struggle and describes how a radicalised English Protestantism emerged from it. Focusing on the critical but neglected period 1539-47, Dr Ryrie argues that these years were not the 'conservative reaction' of conventional historiography, but a time of political fluidity and ambiguity. Most evangelicals continued to hope that the king would favour their cause, and remained doctrinally moderate and politically conformist. The author examines this moderate reformism in a range of settings - in the book trade, in the universities, at court and in underground congregations. He also describes its gradual eclipse, as shifting royal policy and the dynamics of the evangelical movement itself pushed reformers towards the more radical, confrontational Protestantism which was to shape the English identity for centuries.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de marquer quelques-uns des lieux où la phonologie est présente et sa contribution significative. Si le foisonnement des formalismes concurrents tend à masquer la richesse des questions soulevées, la confrontation avec d’autres champs du savoir remet en lumière l’intérêt majeur des interrogations que nous propose l’interprétation symbolique du continuum sonore (relations entre forme et substance, mentalisme linguistique, arbitraire du signe, réalisme des interprétations plurilinéaires, etc.) La phonologie sera ainsi présentée dans ses contributions à l’acquisition, à la réconciliation entre forme et substance, à l’analyse des textes littéraires, à la tonologie, à l’organisation sémantique du lexique, à un « connexionisme réaliste », à la diachronie.

Abstract

This book explores the enforcement of the English Reformation in the heartland of English Ireland during the sixteenth century. Focusing on the diocese of Dublin - the central ecclesiastical unit of the Pale - James Murray explains why the various initiatives undertaken by the reforming archbishops of Dublin, and several of the Tudor viceroys, to secure the allegiance of the indigenous community to the established Church ultimately failed. Led by its clergy, the Pale's loyal colonial community ultimately rejected the Reformation and Protestantism because it perceived them to be irreconcilable with its own traditional English culture and medieval Catholic identity. Dr Murray identifies the Marian period, and the opening decade of Elizabeth I's reign, as the crucial times during which this attachment to survivalist Catholicism solidified, and became a sufficiently powerful ideological force to stand against the theological and liturgical innovations advanced by the Protestant reformers.
