Disorienting masculinity:movement, emotion and chivalric identity in <i>Partonope of Blois</i>
No full textJane Bonsall considers how action and mobility are gendered in medieval romance by exploring the quality and impact of the hero’s movement in the fifteenth-century Middle English Partonope of Blois. Focusing on the emotional landscape of romance, Bonsall invokes queer theorist Sara Ahmed to examine the queer potential of Partonope’s emotional and physical journey through fairy spaces. Reading romance conventions of masculinity and madness in dialogue with theories of queer orientation and disability, this chapter explores the subversive potential of knightly emotionality, stasis and movement. She determines that the multivalent readings of Partonope’s movement through this text—as queered, as feminised, as representing a breadth of masculine potentialities in romance—reveals an underlying tension with gendered expectations of the genre

Introduction
No full textThe editors’ introduction situates Troubling Mobilities at the intersection of ongoing dialogues about gender and mobility in medieval studies. We begin by suggesting that, as a discipline, medieval studies has long conceived of gender as the space between two static points, building upon the foundational feminist scholarship of the late twentieth century. A brief historiography demonstrates that existing scholarship has neglected to fully explore the ways in which bodies, spaces, and movements are intertwined and gendered across the global Middle Ages. We then address how queer theory informs our approach to this question, and how engaging with theorists such as Sara Ahmed (2009) and Jack Halberstam (Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire. Durham: Duke University Press, 2020) may offer new possibilities for approaching medieval gender as constantly (and kinetically) negotiated across bodies and spaces

Hamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841–1935), author and journalist
No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland. She was of Irish heritage on both sides. Her father belonged to a military family with roots in Strabane (county Tyrone) - his father, John Hamilton, and her father’s four older brothers were all officers in the Fifth Foot – and was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion
