On Black Bartholomew's Day-August 24, 1662-nearly two thousand
ministers denied the authority of the Church of England and were
subsequently removed from their posts. Mary Franklin was the wife
of Presbyterian minister Robert Franklin, one of the dissenting
ministers ejected from their pulpits and their livings on that day.
She recorded the experience of her persecution in the unused pages
of her husband's sermon notebook. In 1782-some hundred years after
the composition of her grandmother's narrative- Mary's
granddaughter, Hannah Burton, took up this same notebook to
chronicle her experience as an impoverished widow, barely surviving
the economic revolutions of eighteenth-century London. Collected
for the first time, this volume of the Franklin Family Papers
offers rare insight into the personal lives of three generations of
dissenting women.
In 1649, the English people suffered a tremendous wound, a psychic
lesion, as they both instigated and endured the killing of their
king. John Bunyan came of age in the shadow of this rupture in the
political, social, and religious order of the nation; his life and
works follow the contours of the Civil War, the Restoration, and
the Glorious Revolution. Yet when compared with such contemporaries
as John Milton, Andrew Marvell, or Samuel Pepys, Bunyan is
strikingly silent about the political events of those tumultuous
years. In his single-minded spirituality, Bunyan endures as an
intriguing figure, but his conflicted political legacy remains
subject to dispute. "Trauma and Transformation" brings together
eight leading early modern scholars who radically reassess the
crises of authority, agency, and sexuality that have surrounded
John Bunyan since he first began to preach and to write. In his
anguished, self-conscious pursuit of salvation, Bunyan augurs the
dilemmas of modernity. At the same time, he vigorously espouses
dissent and liberty. The essays of this collection examine the
societal and psychological fault lines in the early modern culture
that Bunyan himself epitomizes.
