Book Description
A True and Faithful Narrative of Oliver Cromwell's Compact with the Devil for Seven Years, on the day in which he gain'd the battle at Worcester; and on which day, at the expiration of the said term, he afterwards died. As it was related by Colonel Lindsey, who was an eye witness of that diabolical conference, related in Mr. Arch-Deacon Eachard's History of England. With a letter from the Lady Claypole, Oliver Cromwell's beloved daughter, to her sister the Vice Countess Falconbridge ... which in a great measure confirms the same, also some minutes from Secretary Thurloe's pocket-book, which corroborate the truth of this fact; never before printed. To which is added. The Earl of Clarendon's character of the usurper; and an account of his death

The Devil from over the Sea
Author: Sarah Covington
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192587676
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
In Ireland, few figures have generated more hatred than Oliver Cromwell, whose seventeenth-century conquest, massacres, and dispossessions would endure in the social memory for ages to come. The Devil from over the Sea explores the many ways in which Cromwell was remembered and sometimes conveniently 'forgotten' in historical, religious, political, and literary texts, according to the interests of different communities across time. Cromwell's powerful afterlife in Ireland, however, cannot be understood without also investigating his presence in folklore and the landscape, in ruins and curses. Nor can he be separated from the idea of the 'Cromwellian': a term which came to elicit an entire chain of contemptuous associations that would begin after his invasion and assume a wholly new force in the nineteenth century. What emerges from all these memorializing traces is a multitudinous Cromwell who could be represented as brutal, comic, sympathetic, or satanic. He could be discarded also, tellingly, from the accounts of the past, and especially by those which viewed him as an embarrassment or worse. In addition to exploring the many reasons why Cromwell was so vehemently remembered or forgotten in Ireland, Sarah Covington finally uncovers the larger truths conveyed by sometimes fanciful or invented accounts. Contrary to being damaging examples of myth-making, the memorializations contained in martyrologies, folk tales, or newspaper polemics were often productive in cohering communities, or in displaying agency in the form of 'counter-memories' that claimed Cromwell for their own and reshaped Irish history in the process.

The Devil and Demonism in Early Modern England
Author: Nathan Johnstone
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 113944736X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
An original book examining the concept of the Devil in English culture between the Reformation and the end of the English Civil War. Nathan Johnstone looks at the ways in which beliefs about the nature of the Devil and his power in human affairs changed as a consequence of the Reformation, and its impact on religious, literary and political culture. He moves away from the established focus on demonology as a component of the belief in witchcraft and examines a wide range of religious and political milieux, such as practical divinity, the interiority of Puritan godliness, anti-popery, polemic and propaganda, and popular culture. The concept of the Devil that emerged from the Reformation had a profound impact on the beliefs and practices of committed Protestants, but it also influenced both the political debates of the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I, and in popular culture more widely.
