Richard Holdsworth (or Houldsworth, Oldsworth) (1590, Newcastle-on-Tyne – 22 August 1649) was an English academic theologian, and Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge from 1637 to 1643. Although Emmanuel was a Puritan stronghold, Holdsworth, who in religion agreed,[1] in the political sphere resisted Parliamentary interference, and showed Royalist sympathies. LifeRichard Holdsworth was the son of Richard Holdswourth, Vicar of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and baptised at St Nicholas, Newcastle on 20 December 1590. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge as a scholar in 1607, graduated B.A. in 1610, and became a Fellow in 1613.[2] He was chaplain to Sir Henry Hobart, 1st Baronet.[3] He was rector of St Peter-le-Poor, London in 1624.[4] He was in 1629 the first Gresham College divinity lecturer appointed from the Puritan camp;[5] he held the position until 1637. A London reputation[6] brought him the presidency of Sion College in 1639. He became Archdeacon of Huntingdon. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly.[7] He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, for two years, and Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, from 1643. He lost his position as Master of Emmanuel, because of expressed royalist opinions;[8] and was briefly imprisoned by Parliament. He was appointed Dean of Worcester by the King, in 1647.[9] It is also claimed that the King wanted to appoint him Bishop of Bristol; this is mentioned by Thomas Fuller.[10] Given the wartime conditions, these appointments could have been taken up only with difficulty. Educational viewsHe is said to have been a modernizer in education, in the line of Francis Bacon and Comenius,[11] and a proponent of unadorned prose.[12] His students at St. John's included Simonds D'Ewes, whom he instructed by means of a system of note-taking.[13] He provided John Wallis with an introduction to William Oughtred, steering Wallis towards mathematics (Wallis graduated BA at Emmanuel as Holdsworth arrived). He was also a bibliophile who amassed a private collection of 10,000 books, bequeathed to the Cambridge University Library.[14] It arrived there in 1664, after a long legal limbo caused by testamentary conditions. It is said to have been the largest private collection of the time in England.[15] The Directions for a Student in the Universite[16] has been attributed to him. The attribution is questioned by Hill as not certain.[17] This work is a scheme of a four-year classical education.[18] Notes1. ^Christopher Hill, Intellectual Origins of the English Revolution (1965), p. 5, p. 56. 2. ^{{acad|id=HLDT607R|name=Houldsworth, Richard}} 3. ^Hill, Intellectual Origins, p. 215. 4. ^Concise Dictionary of National Biography 5. ^Hill, Intellectual Origins, p. 56. 6. ^The most celebrated preacher of Caroline LondonPDF 7. ^A List of the Members of the Westminster Assembly {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081108233244/http://www.apuritansmind.com/WCF/AssemblyMembers.htm |date=2008-11-08 }} 8. ^Emmanuel College - About Emmanuel - College Masters 9. ^Cambridge History of Later Medieval Philosophy, p. 881. 10. ^The history of the University of Cambridge, and of Waltham abbey 11. ^Hill, Intellectual Origins, p. 100. 12. ^Hill, Intellectual Origins, p. 130. 13. ^PDF, note 118, p. 37. 14. ^PDF, p. 48. 15. ^Cambridge University Library: A historical sketch 16. ^Reproduced in Harris Francis Fletcher, The Intellectual Development of John Milton, vol. 2, The Cambridge University Period, 1625-32 (Urbana, University of Illinois Press, 1961), Appendix II, 623-64. 17. ^Intellectual Origins, pp. 307-9. 18. ^Mordecai Feingold, The Humanities p. 258, in The History of the University of Oxford IV, Seventeenth-Century Oxford (1997) edited by Nicholas Tyacke.
