Organized by Anne Heminger, the panel brought together two musicologists (Heminger and Samantha Arten) and a literary scholar (Scott Lucas) to present new work on the music and verse of the enormously popular genre of mid-Tudor metrical scripture paraphrase. The panel proved to be a stimulating and thought-provoking success, as musicologists on the panel and in the audience gained new perspectives on the genre from the approaches of literary analysis, and literary scholars in attendance learned much about the important and often understudied musical contexts in which so many authors of vernacular biblical verse placed their scriptural paraphrase. Discussions of the subjects raised by the panelists lasted well beyond the session itself, and soon talk with Reformation editor Mark Rankin (who was in the audience for the panel) turned to the possibility of expanding the panel’s approaches in a special issue of this journal. The timing was and remains auspicious for new interdisciplinary investigations into mid-Tudor scriptural verse paraphrase, since much excitement has been generated by the 2018 release of the long-awaited critical edition of the Elizabethan Whole Book of Psalmes (1562), the most important text of the entire English metrical scripture movement. This publication brought together in interdisciplinary collaboration literary scholar Beth Quitslund and musicologist Nicholas Temperley. Their meticulous and expert edition of verse (Quitslund) and music (Temperley; supplied both as text and as recorded performance) of this enormously popular and influential psalter offered new pathways of exploration of the Sternhold and Hopkins metrical psalter, particularly for the many scholars in various fields who tend to focus only on their own disciplines’ specific practices and areas of interest. Of course, much excellent scholarship on the music and verse of mid-Tudor metrical scripture has already been published over previous decades, including Nicholas Temperley’s The Music of the English Parish Church (1978) andHymn Tune Index (1998); Rivkah","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"1 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45718729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims first to document the material, rhetorical, and prosodic details of a book neglected in histories of English verse and produced by a major figure in Tudor reform and biblical translation efforts, and through this close attention better to understand the possible motivations behind its production and factors contributing to its eventual fate. In so doing, it also reconsiders the place of Goostly psalmes in the history of the development of musical psalmody and prosody in England, here by contrasting it against the regular, syllabic metrics of the “Sternhold and Hopkins” psalter, to see what its detailed inclusion in that story can clarify.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"4 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47341920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New evidence for Seager’s background and career reveals his evangelical commitments and his focus on common audiences, attitudes shared by his text’s publisher William Seres. To attract common audiences, Seager selects psalms that speak particularly to the experiences and hopes of those of the lower classes, and he cast his psalm paraphrases as works to be communally sung rather than silently read, granting to them a form that allows their messages to travel beyond any individual owners of his work to all who might gather to sing or hear sung his psalms.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"27 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42032931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was immediately translated into English and German, with editions printed in London, Dresden, Cologne, Cracow, Ingolstadt, Hagenau, Rome, Leipzig and so on. Obviously Luther was embarrassed and angry, and of course he responded to Henry’s Responsio, making matters worse: a lame explanation of his actions was accompanied by a renewal of his initial furious attack from 1521. These are the central documents of the “Second Controversy,” contextualized, edited, translated, and analyzed by Rex. From my point of view, the most interesting one is Henry’s Responsio to Luther’s letter. It is much shorter than Henry’s Assertio septem sacramentorum of 1521, but I daresay more substantive. Here Henry, perhaps with the help of Thomas More, engaged a wide range of Luther’s “heresies,” with extraordinary attention to free will, justification by faith, and so on. Could it be that Henry had read De servo arbitrio? Rex, for his part, seems impressed with Henry’s grasp of the deeper issues. Rex supplements these key texts with some twenty, mostly shorter, ancillary documents. These include prefaces to various editions, prologues, epigraphs, letters of congratulation, commendatory verses, and so on. These are not entirely without interest. For instance, the Archbishop of Mainz’s 1527 letter to Henry just may be the most overwrought, bombastic, grandiloquent Thank You Note ever written! Or, what is one to say about Pope Clement VII’s Preface to the Roman edition, promising Henry “everlasting Glory with God” for writing this? There are, theologically speaking, more substantive attacks on Luther’s “Response” (e.g. Cochlaeus’ “Brief Discussion”), but Rex concedes that at least some of these amount to “tiresome nitpicking” (245). And so the question must be raised: where does one draw the line? For instance, do all three versions of Ortwin Gratius’s “Preface” to the Cologne edition really need to be included in this collection? And more generally, does every Early Modern printed text deserve a critical edition? Finally, I return to my initial puzzlement: has Rex uncovered something new – a “Second Controversy” between Henry VIII and Luther? Or is this at best an angry footnote to the First Controversy, a concluding furious round in a match with nothing much at stake, a final collision between two titans both with huge egos and short attention spans? Call it what you will, we can be grateful to Rex for bringing it to our attention in an elegant and intelligent way, to repeat, by offering us a lucid narrative based on meticulous documentation.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"90 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49525934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes evidence of reading proves elusive, but she makes an important point in that “multiple absences may themselves be telling,” such as “[t]he lack of any Protestant-leaning comments or despoilations” (128) despite the risk posed by possessing material at odds with reformed theology. Another instance exists in the names of children erased from a genealogy kept in a book of hours, the resulting gaps striking and summed up poignantly: “T Robertes hath in all xxiiij chyldern wherof xviij ben decessed” (Cambridge University Library Ii.6.2, f.33r; Connolly pp. 168-69). The author charts a conservative course in her analysis, eschewing extrapolation and acknowledging when evidence of reception proves equivocal; even so, her rigorous study offers interesting clues as to how the middle-ranking gentry fared amid the rapid shifts in religious policy from one Tudor monarch to the next. Its value as a representative case study gains weight through the tenacious pursuit of archival records, which connect the Roberts family of Willesden with contemporary families in similar circumstances. Unfortunately, some proofreading mistakes escaped notice; there are a few transcription errors, too, but these are small quibbles for a monograph that makes an important contribution to reception studies. It is a feat of scholarship that few researchers could achieve. Connolly does so, masterfully.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"92 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42625027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the psalter’s success, illustrated by its rapid and enthusiastic adoption by the English people for public worship and private devotion, was due in part to audiences failing to use it as directed. Close study of 133 editions, 222 book-copies, shows that in their use of the book, many readers of the WBP freely adapted this psalter to navigate a myriad of problems related to its printing—memorization demanded by page turns, conflicting tune references, and music typesetting errors—and to accommodate their own religious and musical desires. Congregations and individuals interacted with their WBPs in a dynamic process, freely adapting its texts, music, and even the pages themselves for purposes of convenience, recreation, and devotion.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"65 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46429208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pro-Marian work, read as a parable of the defeat of John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland and Mary’s accession, works as a text of political counsel, in Walker’s reading as “Heywood’s most insistent attempt to counsel his queen on the benefits of moderation” (339). Yet as Mary’s reign progressed, Heywood’s “politics of merriness” waned, and his style lost its gadfly qualities, not least owing to the fact that he was an outsider in a court influenced by Mary’s Spanish husband, his entourage, and Cardinal Reginald Pole. Mary’s death and Queen Elizabeth’s accession with its restoration of reformed religion only exacerbated that outsider status so that, at the age of sixty-seven, Heywood felt forced into exile: Walker points to the prospect of a second Oath of Supremacy and the fact that his children were grown as strong factors in his decision to flee to the Netherlands in 1564. Yet his own sense of his writing as political counsel remained: Walker echoes Jane Flynn in identifying the poem “When all that is to was is brought” as Heywood’s, a work addressing his situation around 1564 as he prepared to leave England. A ballad serving as an ars moriendi, it counsels balancing earthly duties with God’s commandments, emphasizing penitence and the penance of exile as the way to salvation. Walker compares it to Heywood’s uncle Thomas More’s Tower cell A Dialogue of Comfort, as a model for personal resolution in a time of tribulation: yet Heywood’s ballad significantly does not end with a prayer for the queen, as all his other ballads had, and is recognized by Walker as “simultaneously a confession, an apologia, and a work of counsel” (373). Ultimately Walker places Heywood’s work within the tradition of civic religious drama of York, Chester, and his native Coventry, a tradition reflecting a lived experience of the religious life of the laity, a diverse and complex urban community. Heywood’s work too, even in its function as political counsel, impinged upon the very personal: moved continuously to reconcile various regimes’ orthodoxy with his own religious faith, he used verse to chart the Erasmian response to competing demands upon an artistic conscience.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"27 1","pages":"94 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46667822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
