Reclaiming The Church: Puritan Structure, Political And Theological Distinctions In A Transatlantic Context, 1603-1689, Kevan Dale Keane
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
When Puritans crossed the Atlantic Ocean to populate the Thirteen Colonies (whether the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Virginia, Maryland, or others), they did so as loyal subjects of England who wanted a place to freely practice their religion. They never stopped their efforts at reforming the Church of England, nor did they stop seeing themselves as Englishmen. Neither did the Crown. As a result, if the Crown took measures that could affect Puritans in England, it could also affect Puritans in the colonies. In addition, if the Puritans in England became involved in a conflict, colonial Puritans often saw it as …

‘Framed And Clothed With Variety’: Print Culture, Multimodality, And Visual Design In John Derricke’S Image Of Irelande, Andie Silva
Publications and Research
This chapter argues that the twelve illustrative plates in John Derricke's Image of Ireland (1581) were the author's primary focus, aimed at readers who practiced the kinds of ‘laudable exercises’ demanded of committed Protestants: a kind of reading that was recursive, studious, and dynamic. This essay contextualises Derricke’s Image in relation to printer John Day’s output in the late sixteenth century as well as to contemporary illustrated texts from which Derricke may have drawn inspiration as a reader and woodcarver. I focus on the seven plates containing small alphabetical keys and their impact on how and in what order we …

History Class Publications
The Lindisfarne Gospels are an illuminated manuscript, written between 680 and 720 by a monk working on the island of Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, which is off the northern coast of England.1 An illuminated manuscript is a codex, or book, that is written by hand and is richly decorated with intricate designs and pictures and was the typical way that documents were copied.

The complex and beautiful designs were often complimented by a jeweled or expensive cover …
Pluralist Establishment: Reflections On The English Experience, Robert E. Rodes
Pluralist Establishment: Reflections On The English Experience, Robert E. Rodes
Journal Articles
England's historical and current synthesis of Church and State differs greatly from other European and American experiences. It contrasts sharply with the path taken by most states, which chose to cope with religious pluralism by privatizing religion and by trying to base public life on secular views of human nature. This paper reviews the unique inception, and continuance, of the church-state throughout English history. It also reviews the unique manner in which England chose to deal with religious pluralism while maintaining its established church. After reviewing the English experience of establishment of religion, this paper concludes that the total wall …

Inducing Breach Of Contract In Trade Disputes: Development Of The Law In England And Canada, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
In the course of his judgement in the Posluns case Gale J., now the Chief Justice of the High Court of Ontario, thus defined the tort of inducing breach of contract. The Posluns case was an action by a stockbroker against the Toronto Stock Exchange, but it is in the context of trade disputes, especially in cases of picketing, that the tort of inducing breach of contract is significant in Canada. In the confused fact situations arising out of trade disputes Canadian courts have not always been as careful as was Gale J. to identify each of the elements of …
