Yet Wood’s adage can highlight the extent to which ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ provided an academic community in which ‘Golden Scholars’ could find a base for their non-academic pursuits. Both Pink and Twisse can be seen as emblematic figures in the ambiguities of religious-political divergence during the decades before the English Civil War.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Robert Pinke (oil on panel) by Paul van Somer (<em>c</em>. 1572–1621) (circle of), New College, Oxford, NCI 631 [detail]</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2025-01/22NCN3%20%282024%29%20Maxwell%20on%20Robert%20Pink%20and%20William%20Twisse.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=286090" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">22NCN3 (2024) Maxwell on Robert Pink and William Twisse.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">279.38 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 31 Dec 2024 06:09:29 +0000 Christopher 3263 at
