Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - Messiah Handel - Composition and premiere

In the summer of 1741 Handel, at the peak of his musical powers but depressed and in debt, began setting Charles Jennens' Biblical libretto to music at his usual breakneck speed. In just 24 days, Messiah was complete. However it was not first performed until 1742, at a charity concert on Fishamble Street in Dublin's Temple Bar district on April 13 after production difficulties and last-minute rearrangements of the score. Johnathan Swift (author of "Gulliver's Travels" and a local clergyman), had put some pressure on the premiere and h ...

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - John Donne - Career

Donne's writings of this period, notable for their realistic and sensual style, include many songs and sonnets. His poetry is noted for its vibrancy of language and immediacy of metaphor compared with that of his contemporaries. Donne composed many satirical verses. The account of Donne's life in the 1590s from an early biographer, Izaak Walton, paints a picture of a young rake. Scholars believe this is misleading, since the account was given by the older Donne, after being ordained; he may have wanted to separate, more cleanly than was possible, the younger man-about-town from the older clergyman. After a study of theology, he c ...

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - Methodist Church of Great Britain - History

Methodism arose as a revival movement within the Church of England in the 18th century and was organised by the Church of England clergyman, John Wesley.

Wesley insisted that Methodists regularly attend their local parish church as well as Methodist meetings. Although Wesley declared, "I live and die a member of the Church of England", the impact of the movement, ...

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peace - Early years

Charles Peace told a clergyman who had an interview with him in prison shortly before his execution that he hoped that, after he was gone, he would be entirely forgotten by everybody and his name never mentioned again. Yet he stands out as the one great personality among English criminals of the 19th century. From the literary point of view Peace was unfortunate even in the hour of his notoriety. In the very year of his trial and execution, the Annual Register ceased to give the summaries of celebrated trials which for many years had been a feature of its volumes. Of the trial and execution of Peac ...

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - 1972 outbreak of smallpox in Yugoslavia - The outbreak

In early 1972, a 38-year-old Muslim clergyman from Damnjan near Djakovica, Kosovo, undertook the pilgrimage to Mecca. He also visited holy sites in Iraq, where there were known cases of smallpox. He returned home on February 15. The following morning he felt achy and tired, but attributed this to the long bus journey.

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - Tess of the d'Urbervilles - Plot summary

The story concerns a simple country girl, Teresa "Tess" Durbeyfield, the daughter of uneducated (and rather shiftless) peasants. Tess's father hears from a local clergyman that apparently the Durbeyfields are descendants of the medieval noble family d'Urberville. Upon hearing this, Tess's father sends her to the local nouveau-riche (Stoke)-d'Urberville family. Tess begins working at the d'Urberville house, and attracts the attention of the playboy son of the household, Alec D'Urberville. In a rape (although the scene is open to interpretatio ...

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - Pierre Prévost - Life

Son of a protestant clergyman in Geneva, he was born in that city, and was educated for a clerical career. However, he abandoned it for law, and this too he quickly deserted to devote himself to education and to travelling. He became close friends with J. J. Rousseau, and, a little later, with Dugald Stewart, having previously distinguished himself as a translator of and commentator on Euripides. Frederick II of Prussia secured him in 1780 as professor of philosophy, and made him member of the Akademie der Wissenschaften in Berlin. He there became acquainted with Joseph Louis Lagrange , and was thus led to ...

Clergyman: Encyclopedia II - R. S. Thomas - Works

Almost all of Thomas' work concerns his twin passions, the Welsh landscape and the Welsh people. Underlying these twin themes are the politics. Even simple, lyrical descriptions of a hillside or a field can be read as a political statement. His views on the position of the Welsh people, as a conquered people are never far below the surface. His religious views, as might be expected from a clergyman, are also present in his works. These concerns mark out his work as particularly distinctive and, perhaps, an easy subject for satire. The reader ...
