Riassunto

This book brings together leading historians of Catholicism and other notable historians of early modern English society in order to pull Catholicism back into the mainstream of English historiography, and to ask readers to suspend their assumptions and prejudices about the nature of Catholic history. Its primary assertion is that many of the fundamental issues of English history cannot be adequately understood without taking into account a Catholic perspective, while many of the fundamental issues of Catholic history cannot be understood in isolation from the rest of English society.

This is not a work of Catholic history, nor a history of English Catholics, at least as those terms are usually understood, but it is a work of significant importance to our understanding of early modern English society.

Recensione:

One of the strengths of this collection is its sensitivity to language and texts. Dr Cooper, University of York, Church Times --Dr Cooper, University of York, Church Times

ground-breaking and highly controversial. Lively and provocative, one of the most important books concerned with Catholic history for a while. (James Kelly, Catholic Times) --(James Kelly, Catholic Times)

Marshall's investigation will intrigue anyone who has pondered, during the Church of England creed, quite what they were saying. Lake's argument will become required reading for students of literature and politics in early modern England.
