Just as the Reformation was a movement of intertwined theological and political aims, many individual authors of the time shifted back and forth between biblical interpretation and political writing. Two foundational figures in the history of the Renaissance Bible, Desiderius Erasmus and William Tyndale, are cases in point, one writing in Latin, the other in the vernacular. Erasmus undertook the project of retranslating and annotating the New Testament at the same time that he developed rhetorical approaches for addressing princes in his Education of a Christian Prince (1516); Tyndale was occupied with biblically inflected works such as his Obedience of a Christian Man (1528) while translating and annotating the first printed English Bibles.In The Book of Books, Thomas Fulton charts the process of recovery, interpretation, and reuse of scripture in early modern England, exploring the uses of the Bible as a supremely authoritative text that was continually transformed for political purposes. In a series of case studies linked to biblical translation, polemical tracts, and works of imaginative literature produced during the reigns of successive English rulers, he investigates the commerce between biblical interpretation, readership, and literary culture. Whereas scholars have often drawn exclusively on modern editions of the King James Version, Fulton turns our attention toward the specific Bibles that writers used and the specific manner in which they used them. In doing so, he argues that Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, and others were in conversation not just with the biblical text itself, but with the rich interpretive and paratextual structures that accompanied it, revolving around sites of social controversy as well as the larger, often dynastically oriented conditions under which particular Bibles were created.
The Making of a Best-Selling Book on Reproduction
2015
This article examines the 1965 first edition of Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson's Ett barn blir till (A Child Is Born) by placing the book back in the historical context in which it was produced, marketed, and reviewed. In particular it shows how medicine and the media in Sweden were intertwined in the process of incorporating Nilsson's photographs of aborted embryos and fetuses into a best-selling book on the origin and development of human life. Nilsson's work is related to other books in the same genre as well as the popular picture magazines of the time, in order to highlight how it aspired to offer something new. It is argued that a number of commercial and other interests were involved and that an immense effort went into not only making and promoting the book but also trying to control the meaning of the images.

William Wants a Doll. Can He Have One? Feminists, Child Care Advisors, and Gender-Neutral Child Rearing
2005
Using an analysis of child care books and parenting Web sites, this article asks if second-wave feminism 's vision of gender-neutral child rearing has been incorporated into contemporary advice on child rearing. The data suggest that while feminist understandings of gender have made significant inroads into popular advice, especially with regard to the social construction of gender, something akin to \"a stalled revolution \" has taken place. Children's gender nonconformity is still viewed as problematic because it is linked implicitly and explicitly to homosexuality.

A Narrative of Fear: Advice to Mothers
2015
When Jody Kantor, in an article in the New York Times on dietary requirements for children, describes one single hot dog as the gateway to a lifetime of unhealthy eating, what Rebecca Kukla terms \"the single corrupting bite,\" she is following in the tradition of, for example, Thomas Bull.11 In 1837 he warns that a pregnant woman must follow all the restrictions placed on her by her doctor, since \"by one act of disobedience she may blast every hope of success\" and lose the child.12 Like Kantor 's twenty-first century mother, who lets her guard down and allows the child one hot dog, thus ruining years of careful monitoring of its diet, Bull's prospective mother \"throw[s] away, in a single moment, the result of hours, nay of days and weeks, of careful and persevering deprivation\" and kills her unborn child.13 Pregnancy and mothering are presented by both Kantor and Bull as a constant struggle, where one momentary lapse of concentration can ruin the child. According to the authors of these advice books, the mother must accept her situation with equanimity no matter what difficulties she might face, and never complain, regardless of how difficult her situation might become.

Bilder von gewünschten Kindern. Einzelfallanalyse eines Kinderwunschratgebers
2023
Wenngleich Bilder von Kindern einen wichtigen Zugang der Kindheitsforschung darstellen, steht eine Untersuchung von Bildern, die in der Phase einer ungewollten Kinderlosigkeit bedeutsam werden, bislang aus. Im Rahmen der Einzelfallanalyse eines Kinderwunschratgebers werden fünf Bilder von gewünschten Kindern – das imaginierte, das ungewisse, das gezeugte, das temporäre und das geborene Kind – herausgearbeitet und auf ihren Stellenwert für die Adressierungen von Paaren mit unerfülltem Kinderwunsch hin befragt. Dabei zeigt sich, dass diese einen zentralen Baustein in der ambivalenten Argumentation und im Vermittlungsanliegen einer umfassenden Selbstsorge spielen.

Mothers, Wives, Widows, and Mother’s Advice Books of the Seventeenth Century
2006
Women of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England experienced a world where one woman could rule the country, but women, in general, had almost no legal power of their own. Women were in the same legal category as children, wards, lunatics, idiots, and outlaws. The ideal of woman dictated chastity, modesty, and silence. Moreover, this ideal placed women almost solely within the domestic sphere, hence many believed women did not need an extensive education. Women’s domestic education and the societal expectation of silence negatively impacted women’s ability to publish. Men, then, frequently wrote for and to women. Men wrote cookbooks and midwifery books, and they even put together most of the first needlework books.1 Although men could, and often did, give women advice about motherly topics, they could never experience motherhood. The exclusively female functions of childbirth and breast-feeding united women as mothers. This role gave women a natural authority that men could only imagine. Through their function as mothers, the authors of mother’s advice books entered publishing to advise their children and other women to live a good life. Their environment included childbirth, breast-feeding, illness and death, family, class, and aging. Although the authors wrote about domestic topics, only Anne Brockman advised women about their future: old age.
