Wyrd and Providence

A series from 2011 that I have reposted. I put up this series because I am leaving for Williamsburg today and want you to have something while I am gone until the 30th. This should keep you busy. Wyrd and Providence.   

A history professor tells me that Alexandra Walsham agrees with some of this in her Providence in Early Modern England, but at $100, it has sat on my wishlist for over a decade.

Please comment here and not at the individual links. Talk among yourselves and I'll catch up when I get back.  I will likely at least read the comments this week on my email, even iof I don't comment myself until May.

You can read it here (I have searched for 'fate' in this entry, which produced some leads; 'wyrd' did not produce anything).

I'll note that when I enter the isbn 0198208871 in my favorite book price aggregator (allbookstores.com) I see a few entries of copies available from the UK for under $25 (US) plus $10 shipping.
