  • God and the Great Reform Act: Preaching against Reform, 1831–32

  • Robert Saunders
  • Journal:
    Journal of British Studies / Volume 53 / Issue 2 / April 2014
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2014, pp. 378-399

  • The struggle for the “Great” Reform Act was one of the most serious crises of the nineteenth century, stirring controversy not only in Parliament and the political unions but in churches and chapels across the country. For many of its supporters, reform was a holy cause; for its opponents, it was a “Satanic” measure. This article seeks to reestablish reform as a religious controversy, paying special attention to the religious press and to the hundreds of sermons preached by the Anglican clergy. Anglicans mobilized an array of scriptural authorities against the reform bill, contributing directly to the rising temperature of debate. This was a “Constitution in Church and State,” and the church possessed both an authority and an audience that few institutions could match. Restoring it to the center of debate helps us to understand what was at stake in the reform bill and why it aroused such bitter passions.

  • Revisiting Southam Street: Class, Generation, Gender, and Race in the Photography of Roger Mayne

  • Stephen Brooke
  • Journal:
    Journal of British Studies / Volume 53 / Issue 2 / April 2014
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2014, pp. 453-496

  • This article examines pictures taken by the British photographer Roger Mayne of Southam Street, London, in the 1950s and 1960s. It explores these photographs as a way of thinking about the representation of urban, working-class life in Britain after the Second World War. The article uses this focused perspective as a line of sight on a broader landscape: the relationship among class, identity, and social change in the English city after the Second World War. Mayne's photographs of Southam Street afford an examination of the representation of economic and social change in the postwar city and, not least, the intersections among class, race, generation, and gender that reshaped that city.

  • Missing Women: Sex Ratios in England, 1000–1500

  • Sandy Bardsley
  • Journal:
    Journal of British Studies / Volume 53 / Issue 2 / April 2014
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2014, pp. 273-309

  • This article proposes that late medieval English men may have outnumbered women by a significant margin, perhaps as high as 110 to 115 men for every 100 women. Data from both documentary and archaeological sources suggest that fewer females survived to adulthood and that those who did may have died younger than their husbands and brothers. Historians of medieval England have said little about the possibility of a skewed sex ratio, yet if women were indeed “missing” from the population as a whole in a significant and sustained way, we must reinterpret much of the social, economic, gender, and cultural history of late medieval England.
