Mencken who defined a Puritan as a person who was “haunted by the fear that someone\, somewhere might be happy.” But if the 17th century Puritan Simonds D’Ewes was any example\, Shakespeare might have been closer to the truth in his comedy about The Merry Wives of Windsor. UCSB History Prof. J. Sears McGee will sort through the complicated—and sometimes hilarious—negotiations Sir Simonds undertook in his serial marriages to two teenaged Puritan heiresses. His talk will be based on some 70 volumes of Sir Simonds’ personal papers in the British Library that have never been published\, including more than 1400 letters to and from a wide range of correspondents in England and abroad.\nAbout Our Speaker\nA senior member of the History faculty and one of its most popular lecturers\, Prof. McGee specializes in the history of early modern Britain. His talk will be based on his forthcoming book\, “An Industrious Mind”: the Worlds of Sir Simonds D’Ewes\, being published by Stanford University Press. \nThe event will begin with light refreshments at 5:30 p.m. In gratitude for your loyalty and support\, the History Associates Board is sponsoring this as a free event\, but reservations are recommended because of limited seating.\nYou can make a reservation online by writing drake@history.ucsb.edu\,\nor phone (805) 893-4388 \nhm 10/4/14\, 10/10 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/single-puritan-girls-in-tudor-england/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20141023T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20141023T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T174115 CREATED:20150928T112900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112900Z UID:10001962-1414022400-1414022400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:IHC Open House: Annual Theme "Anthropocene" DESCRIPTION:IHC Public Events Series for 2014-15: The Anthropocene: Views from the Humanities The Anthropocene\, a newly-coined geologic term\, designates the age during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. While subject to the forces of nature\, the human species is itself a force that acts upon the natural world. We have altered the sea levels\, the composition of the atmosphere and the surfaces and depths of the earth. But unlike nature’s agents of change\, our species has now become fully cognizant of our impact. As Andrew Revkin has observed\, ?Two billion years ago\, cyanobacteria oxygenated the atmosphere and powerfully disrupted life on earth\, but they didn’t know it. We?re the first species that’s become a planet-scale influence and is aware of that reality. That?s what distinguishes us.? \nThe UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center?s 2014-2015 public events series\, The Anthropocene: Views from the Humanities\, will explore this time of significant biospheric human influence\, with the aim of bringing into focus the challenges that now confront the planet and its inhabitants through the unique\, critical perspectives afforded by the humanities and fine arts.\nFor more information and a list of upcoming speakers\, please visit: \nhm 10/10/14 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/ihc-open-house-annual-theme-anthropocene/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20141024T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20141024T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T174115 CREATED:20150928T112901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112901Z UID:10001970-1414108800-1414108800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:History of the Present: World War I and the Origins of Our Time DESCRIPTION:This panel in the McCune Conference Room (HSSB 6020) will be moderated by History Professor Alice O’Connor.It is open to all — families welcome! \nMany aspects of our modern world have their origin in the violent global rearrangements following World War I (1914-1918).

The many innovative material practices in which he engaged increased the understanding of the past and simultaneously helped to preserve it\, giving it a visual material presence beyond the written historical narrative. Prof. McCracken will focus on key examples of these strategies in his seven-decade career\, to illustrate how Fray Angelico Chavez’s innovative enhancements of traditional historiography point the way to enticing modes of amplifying the writing and presentation of history in the digital age. \nEllen McCracken is a professor of Spanish and comparative Latino/a literature at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Among her books are: The Life and Writing of Fray Angelico Chavez: A New Mexico Renaissance Man (2009) and New Latina Narrative: The Feminine Space of Postmodern Ethnicity (1999). Her edited volumes include: Fray Angelico Chavez: Poet\, Priest and Artist (2000) and Guitars and Adobes and the Uncollected Stories of Fray Angelico Chavez (2009). \nSaturday.
