英语词汇barebones-s parliament的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Barebones’s Parliament. The historically important Bare- bones’s Parliament nominated by Cromwell in 1653 wasn’t so called because it was a small body, the skeleton of a real parlia- ment. Rather, the assembly, which first met on July 4th of that year, was derisively nicknamed for one of its members. Praise- God Barebones was his name. Barebones, a famous London preacher as well as a leather merchant and man of property, was vociferously opposed to the restoration of the Stuarts. Controversial for his Baptist religious views, Praise-God Bare- bones’s preaching attracted large crowds, the meetings fre- quently disturbed by riots, and one time a mob stormed his house, Barebones barely escaping with his life. Barebones’s Par- liament passed a number of reforms, including civil marriage and public registration of births and burials, but was generally unqualified for its task of governing, “more fools than knaves,” as someone wrote. Praise-God Barebones, who seems to have taken little part in the debates, long outlived his namesake, dy- ing in 1680, at about 84.
