“…In fact, Alec Ryrie has recently argued for a broad resurgence of strikingly visual, emotive Passion piety amongst later Protestants, a a trend furthered by an increasing return to medieval devotional sources. 94 The steady influx of Counter-Reformation influences also proved a significant factor in this shift. In relation to women's writing, some recent reassessments of Amelia Lanyer's 1611 Passion poem, Salue Deus Rex Iudaeorum, have helped to contextualize her work within a devotional landscape which reveals surprising quantities of highly vivid and affective Passion discourse.…”

Despite frequent claims to the contrary, Passion piety maintained a significant presence within English devotion throughout the sixteenth century. This article centres on several female contributors to evangelical Passion devotion, including Katherine Parr and Elizabeth Tyrwhit. Moving beyond essentialized notions of gendered authorship, the study offers a comparative, historicizing perspective on women's Passion writings, situating female-authored works within their wider contemporary devotional contexts. An argument is advanced for the fluidity and open-endedness of the early landscape of reform, uncovering the surprising continuities which shaped reformed spirituality and revealing a level of confessional interplay at variance with polarized models of Catholic and Protestant devotion.

“…Perhaps because early modern society did not allow women's sins to be so easily shrugged off, it tends to be amongst women, such as the Northamptonshire gentlewoman and diarist Elizabeth Isham, that we find alternative narratives, of quiet and gradual awakenings to faith rather than dramatic conversions. 22 Not exclusively so, however. Theologies of conversion which demanded set-piece battles with despair repeatedly ran up against believers whose experiences did not fit the pattern.…”

Conserving Health in Early Modern Culture

Early modern diaries and letters are replete with complaints about the state of the body after illness. ' A long sicknes … has much drained mee … and indeed … my feeble hands … can scarce write', remarked Rev. Thomas Lowgh from Cumbria in 1654. 1 A few years later, the London gentlewoman Ann Fanshawe recorded in her memoirs, 'a very ill kind of fever … brought me so low that I was like an anatomy'. 2 In 1697, Elizabeth Freke from Norfolk lamented, 'God raised me up againe a miserable spectt[ac]le … hardly able to goe or stand'. 3 Serious physical illness thus left the body weak and lean, full of the 'footsteps of disease', to use the early modern term. It was not until full strength and flesh had returned that the patient was pronounced back to health. This chapter asks how doctors and laypeople measured the patient's growing strength after illness, and analyses the physiological processes through which this restitution was thought to occur. It shows that both the measures and the mechanisms for the restoration of strength were intimately connected to the 'six Non-Natural things': excretion, sleep, food, passions, air and exercise. Patients' sleeping patterns, appetites for foods, and emotions, along with other inclinations and behaviours that related to the Non-Naturals, were used to track their progression on 'the road to health'. Medical practitioners and the patient's family sought to regulate each Non-Natural in order to promote the body's restoration, and 4
