Extract

This new study of the hymn results from the work of the Dr Williams's Centre for Dissenting Studies, established in September 2004 as a collaboration between the School of English and Drama, Queen Mary, University of London, and Dr Williams's Library, Gordon Square, London. The objectives of the Centre are to promote the use of the Library's unique holdings of puritan, Protestant nonconformist, and dissenting books and manuscripts; to encourage research into and dissemination of these resources; and to increase knowledge and understanding of the importance of puritanism and Protestant dissent to English society and literature from the sixteenth century to the present.

The Centre has developed an extensive programme of conferences, seminars, workshops, and publications to support these aims. The annual one-day conferences have led to five volumes of essays: Joseph Priestley, Scientist, Philosopher, and Theologian, published by Oxford University Press in 2008, and now Dissenting Praise, both edited by Isabel Rivers and David L. Wykes; Women, Dissent and Anti-Slavery in Britain and America, 1790–1865, edited by Elizabeth J. Clapp and Julie Roy Jeffrey, and Dissent and the Bible in Britain, 1650–1950, edited by Scott Mandelbrote and Michael Ledger-Lomas, also forthcoming from the Press; and Religious Dissent and the Aikin-Barbauld Circle, 1740–1830, edited by Felicity James and Ian Inkster, forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. The Centre's Dissenting Academies Project, in association with the Sussex Centre for Intellectual History, is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and the Arts and Humanities Research Council and will produce both print and online publications: A History of the Dissenting Academies in the British Isles, 1660–1860, edited by Rivers and Wykes, with Knud Haakonssen and Richard Whatmore as associate editors, to be published by Cambridge University Press, and two relational databases to be published online on the Centre's website. In addition the following electronic editions have been published online by the Centre's postgraduates: The Letters of Joseph Priestley to Theophilus Lindsey 1769–1794, edited by Simon Mills (2007); A Bibliography of the Writings of William Hazlitt 1737–1820 (2009) and New College, Hackney (1786–96): A Selection of Printed and Archival Sources (2010), both by Stephen Burley; and Dissenting Education and the Legacy of John Jennings c.1720–c.1729 (2010), by Tessa Whitehouse. The Centre is also supporting the publication of a new edition of Reliquiae Baxterianae by Neil Keeble, John Coffey, and Tim Cooper, to be published by Oxford University Press, as well as a number of other major initiatives such as an edition of Henry Crabb Robinson's diary and correspondence.
