... English Text Society ( EETS ) Founded in 1864 by *Furnivall , EETS has produced editions of works from the Anglo-Saxon to the Elizabethan periods. One of the oldest scholarly societies in England still in existence, EETS is part of a broader Victorian antiquarian and philological movement concerned with promoting Englishness and national identity. Most of the co-founders of the Society were also members of the Council of the Philological Society, and one of the chief impulses to the creation of EETS was the need to provide materials for use in the *...

By contrast, some counties, such as Derbyshire, were badly provided for, and the national coverage was very patchy. See E. L. C. Mullins (ed.), Texts and Calendars: A Guide to the Historical and Archaeological Publications of Societies in England and Wales, 1901–33 (1968) .

...of both, since 1950 . Joan Wake was an early pioneer. She had attended London School of Economics courses in 1913 , when Eileen Power was her tutor; she became the founder of the Northants Record Society, and then county archivist. Mary Dormer Harris also straddled two worlds. She was highly respected for her profound knowledge of documents and the architecture of Warwickshire. Her main scholarly book, taking ten years to complete, was a transcript of the Coventry Leet Book (Early English Text Society, 4 vols, 1907–13 ), but her popular reputation...

...Using old *ballad and prose narrative forms in an archaic self-conscious manner, most English and Scots Gothicists of the late 1790s conveyed an anti-clerical undercurrent that was fully modern in its application: for ‘Gothic’ read ‘old-regime’. In the journal of the Society of Antiquaries, Archaeologia , Douce went on to publish a series of papers (gathered as a volume in 1825 ) which before 1810 typically carried political critique. The first, read to the Society on 27 November 1800 , included a proclamation by Queen Elizabeth on the scarcity of...

...social, and national identity. Challenges to that identity were perceived as coming from many different sources in a rapidly changing society. English was increasingly being valued over the classical languages as a national treasure, though the possession of Latin and Greek remained important markers of gentility, but this development brought with it a desire to stabilize English itself into a standard or ‘classical’ form. Texts concerned with such issues became an important growth area in the eighteenth century's expanding *publishing [21] industry. Fewer...

The first of the dedicated societies, the Roxburghe, was founded in 1812 , and the 19th century saw the publication of most of the meagre extant medieval records of burgh and monastery . Most of the societies are now defunct, but publication of primary sources is continued by the Scottish History Society and the Scottish Record Society.

...by London Corresponding Society literature, and there was an agreed policy of subversion of the army among some cells of the United Englishmen—the English counterpart to the United Irishmen. There was a brief French landing in Wales in February 1797 and an abortive rebellion in Ireland, with a mistimed French landing in Ireland in 1798 . Faced with these strains, the government took more draconian measures against the radical organizations. In 1799–1800 the London Corresponding Society and the British and Irish *United societies were outlawed. Habeas...

In the same year, Brougham's parliamentary committee on education noted the ‘very many instances’ at Christ's Hospital ‘of children being admitted, whose parents are totally destitute’. But all the other establishments selected for inclusion in the Ackermann volume were identical to those in Smith's list of ‘public schools’ (with Harrow now added as well), and the text quoted a statement...

...to a fair share rather than to the whole produce). The truly Christian society honoured the divine rights of labour and the poor and also embodied Christ's teaching about mutuality: ‘do unto others as ye would they do unto you’ was a favoured text for Chartist *sermons which invoked the still-cherished popular ideals of moral economy. Those in power who ignored these rights were oppressors who had repudiated God: ‘He who oppresseth the poor’, ran another popular banner text, ‘reproacheth his maker.’ Like the Old Testament prophets and Christ, Chartists...

At every period, towns contained approved structures of authority responsible to the Crown.

...and finally commercial society. *Scottish Enlightenment writers systematically elaborated this scheme in works such as Adam *Ferguson 's Essay on the History of Civil Society ( 1767 ) and John *Millar 's Origin of the Distinction of Ranks in Society ( 1771 ). Early forms of society were hypothetically reconstructed on the basis of what were taken to be elementary needs and impulses, and were often offered explicitly as rhetorical models rather than as characterizations of societies in actual existence. In the case of societies that had developed beyond...

...and to call them ‘ancient countryside’, as in some texts, for there are very great differences in landscape texture and in regional society between the Cornish and Warwickshire examples just given. It must be added that it is not always easy to make a case for the deep antiquity of settlement in some landscapes of dispersal and its relative freshness in others. In Wales, for example, a country once far more wooded than it is today, some farms and hamlets were still being newly created from woodland in the early modern period while others were undoubtedly already...

...exhibition. Relations between members in the Society of Artists and between artists in similar bodies were frequently marred by dissension over the selection and arrangement of pictures in exhibition, the question of charging the public an admission fee, and the deployment of the receipts from its events—in short, by practical manifestations of the ongoing debate over the nature and function of art exhibition and the social composition of its viewing public. The boisterous early years of the Society of Artists exhibition are a case in point. In 1761 ...

...progress of different societies with one another, and are to some degree explicable by relating the state of a society to the ‘state of the world’ at that same moment. To locate a given state of society within a given state of the world is to establish its age or epoch in the most complete sense, and thus to establish the most thorough understanding of it as a culture or a historical situation for the actions of those who inhabit it. The relational paradigm I am describing abstractly here can be briefly illustrated by John *Millar 's early study of class and...
