  Connop Thirlwall - LoveToKnow 1911
CONNOP THIRLWALL (1797-1875), English bishop and historian, was born at Stepney, London, on the 11th of January 17 9 7.
Thomas Turton, the regius professor of divinity (afterwards dean of Westminster and bishop of Ely), had written a pamphlet objecting to the admission, on the ground of the apprehended unsettlement of the religious opinions of young churchmen.
Thirlwall replied by pointing out that no provision for theological instruction wa,s in fact made by the colleges except compulsory attendance at chapel, and that this was mischievous.

It is all the more to Thirlwall’s honour that, from the first, he should have welcomed so formidable a competitor; while Grote declared that, had Thirlwall’s book appeared two or three years sooner, he would have abandoned his own design.
Thirlwall, though he cannot be said to have been superseded by Grote, must, if the highest standard is impartially applied to the whole historical achievements of both, be allowed to be surpassed by him.
This training was carried on, partly as a discipline of private enquiry and study, and partly under the influence of the school or party of which Bentham was the founder or “spiritual father,” and of which James Mill was the indefatigable prophet.

 Review - Luke: A Critical Study - Friedrich Schleiermacher
Translator Connop Thirlwall, himself a remarkable figure whose biography Tice has gone to the trouble to provide in engaging detail, seeks in his essay to relate Schleiermacher's observations to a wider variety of then-contemporary critical hypotheses, some of them home-grown in England and thus not treated by Schleiermacher.
Thirlwall treats in turn a veritable Valhalla of forgotten theories about the gospels, the most intriguing of which, however, are German hypotheses, those of Gieseler, Eichhorn, and Semler.
As Thirlwall notes, Gieseler's theory of oral tradition as the direct source of the gospels entails what it tries to avoid: the idea that the gospel pericopae were the distillation of a careful process of artificial and conventional standardization.

 History of Iran: The Persian Wars
A facile writer of history, Bishop Connop Thirlwall, who now is entirely forgotten but in his time was most influential because he was a popularizer of Niebuhr's ideas and wrote in consultation with him, declared that Dareios' "adventures in Scythia elude every attempt to conceive their real nature and connection." (34)
Bishop Thirlwall asserted that all that the Persians did was to engage in a campaign for the conquest of Thrakia in the course of which they conducted a foray across the Danube in order to intimidate the Skythians from molesting the newly acquired territories.
Thirlwall's theory has been accepted by the majority of historians among which I may quote Beloch, De Sanctis, and G. Grundy in his book on the Persian Wars, and their preliminaries.

His first work, An Elementary Treatise on Mechanics (1819), co-operated with those of George Peacock and John Herschel in reforming the Cambridge method of mathematical teaching; he influenced the recognition of the moral and natural sciences as an integral part of the Cambridge curriculum (1850).
In general, however, especially in later years, he opposed reform: he defended the tutorial system[?], and in a controversy with Connop Thirlwall (1834), opposed the admission of Dissenters[?]; he upheld the clerical fellowship system, the privileged class of "fellow-commoners," and the authority of heads of colleges in university affairs.
He opposed the appointment of the University Commission (1850), and wrote two pamphlets (Remarks) against the reform of the university (1855).

 Sample text for Library of Congress control number 2003052628
In 1824 one of Schleiermacher's minor pieces (on the Gospel of St. Luke) was translated into English, and so impressed the ecclesiastical powers-that-were that it achieved for the translator the prestige job of bishop of St. David's in Wales.
Thirlwall's History was published by the then-famous Dionysius Lardner.
Regarded as a major science popularizer (or charlatan, depending on who was regarding), Lardner forecast the link to India through the Red Sea long before the Suez Canal, and lobbied for transatlantic steamships when people thought the idea of dropping sail was crazy.

The Letter to a friend savors, it is true, a little of the pomposity of precocious youth, but it was the rare mark of ThirIwall's genius that early maturity was in him consistent with permanent strength.
One can more than half pardon the parental folly of printing the writings of a boy of eleven when one knows that the capacity of the boy was not the result of too early development, and foretold the intellectual powers of the man. Nor was Thirlwall's knowledge inferior to his literary skill.
His life was, from youth to age, a life of reading and study.

 The Oxford Movement, by R.W. Church
But besides these two great parties, each of them claiming to represent the authentic and unchanging mind of the Church, there were independent thinkers who took their place with neither and criticised both.
Paley had still his disciples at Cambridge, or if not disciples, yet representatives.of his masculine but not very profound and reverent way of thinking; and a critical school, represented by names afterwards famous, Connop Thirlwall and Julius Hare, strongly influenced by German speculation, both in theology and history, began to attract attention.
And at Cambridge was growing, slowly and out of sight, a mind and an influence which were to be at once the counterpart and the rival of the Oxford movement, its ally for a short moment, and then its earnest and often bitter enemy.

 Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": "Irony" by Norman D. Knox
Bishop Connop Thirlwall, who believed in a just god, spelled out the two movements of irony, both in life and in Sophocles.
In his discussion of ambiguous language in Sophocles’ tragedies, Thirlwall apparently established the association of the term "Sophoclean irony" with dialogue that means one thing to the speaker, another to author and audience, whose view of the situation is wider and truer.
This sort of thing had been recognized as a common form of irony in satiric narrative; Thirlwall simply extended the field to tragedy.

The twentieth century has seen many attempts to formulate irony as a coherent concept.

It is the first history of Greece that combines extensive research and profound philosophical reflection; but it is "a monarchical" history, by a writer of very strong anti-republican principles.
