Review Of Fire From Heaven: Life In An English Town In The Seventeenth Century By David Underdown, Carole Levin

Department of History: Faculty Publications

David Underdown, one of the foremost scholars of seventeenth-century England, has produced major political studies, such as Pride's Purge: Politics in the Puritan Revolution (Oxford, 1971), and works that combined social history with political change, such as Revel, Riot, and Rebellion (New York, 1985). Fire from Heaven is a case study of the west-county town of Dorchester, a proud and important community in the first half of the seventeenth century.

Demanding Citizenship: The U.S. Women's Movement, 1848-1930, Lena Sweeten

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The U. S. women's movement began in 1848 with the Seneca Falls Convention for women's rights. As set forth by the convention's "Declaration of Sentiments," the movement was concerned with a broad array of social, religious, cultural and political reforms to bring about gender equality. Following the Civil War, the women's movement took on the semblance of a single-issue movement, as the effort to achieve woman suffrage consumed feminists' resources and energies.
