George Herman Simmons family papers, MSS.2220
No full textAbstract: Correspondence written by and related to the Simmons family, primarily George Herman Simmons.Scope and Content Note: This collection consists of correspondence related to the Simmons Family. The bulk of the letters are correspondence written to George Herman Simmons, though some correspondence is written to Warren Simmons, Ruthy Jane Simmons, and Bessie Spaulding. The collection also contains letters written by George Herman, Warren, Ruthy Jane, Usray(?), and Herald Herman Simmons.The majority of George Herman's incoming correspondence was written by young ladies whom George Herman was apparently courting. Some of these individuals are Nellie Bush from Adamsville, Alabama; Maumee Campbell from Centreville and Blocton, Alabama; "Carene" from McShan, Alabama, Ruby Jenkins from Midland, Georgia; Florence Lowry from Blocton, Alabama; "Maude" from Starkville, Mississippi; Ira Moore from Piedmont and Acmar, Alabama; Lizzie Moss from Cleveland, Alabama; Amy Reach from Roda, Virginia; and Bessie Spaulding from Blocton, Alabama. It should be noted that Bessie Spaulding's letters are highly decorated with pencil illustrations.Other letters are correspondence with family, including Simmons, Sims, and Brights, and correspondence with friends, such as Charlie Fulton in Starkville, Mississippi.Biographical/Historical Note: According to the Bibb County Census from 1900, George Herman Simmons was born in December, 1896, to Warren Simmons and Ruthy Jane (Bright) Simmons. Warren Simmons was born in December, 1870, in South Carolina to David Simmons and Frances Lena. Ruthy Jane Bright was born in May, 1871. The census lists two brothers, Tuly S. and Adicus G., born in 1898 and 1900, but grave stones from Bibb County indicate that they died a few years after birth. Letters in the collection indicate he may have had another brother, Usray(?) Simmons, and may have had a half brother, as J.C. Dutton wrote a letter to Ruty Jane Bright addressing her as "mother."George Herman Simmons had at least one aunt, Amanda (Bright) Sims, and two cousins, Raymond and Pearl Sims. Also present in the collection is a "Cousin Sudie," cousin Ethel Bright, a Millie Bright, and a W.B. Bright, all of whom appear to be related to George Herman.For the period of time covered by the collection, the family primarily resided in Bankhead, Alabama. George Herman worked in various places around the southeast, and by September, 1924, worked as a coal miner in Shoopman, Kentucky.George Herman married Bessie Spaulding sometime between 1922 and September, 1924, at which point he addressed her as "wife" in one letter. George Herman Simmons had at least one son, Herald Herman

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
