The survival and revival of Roman Catholicism in post-Reformation
Britain remains the subject of lively debate. This volume examines
key aspects of the evolution and experience of the Catholic
communities of these Protestant kingdoms during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Rejecting an earlier preoccupation with
recusants and martyrs, it highlights the importance of those who
exhibited varying degrees of conformity with the ecclesiastical
establishment and explores the moral and political dilemmas that
confronted the clergy and laity. It reassesses the significance of
the Counter Reformation mission as an evangelical enterprise;
analyses its communication strategies and its impact on popular
piety; and illuminates how Catholic ritual life creatively adapted
itself to a climate of repression. Reacting sharply against the
insularity of many previous accounts, this book investigates
developments in the British Isles in relation to wider
international initiatives for the renewal of the Catholic faith in
Europe and for its plantation overseas. It emphasises the
reciprocal interaction between Catholicism and anti-Catholicism
throughout the period and casts fresh light on the nature of
interconfessional relations in a pluralistic society. It argues
that persecution and suffering paradoxically both constrained and
facilitated the resurgence of the Church of Rome. They presented
challenges and fostered internal frictions, but they also catalysed
the process of religious identity formation and imbued English,
Welsh and Scottish Catholicism with peculiar dynamism. Prefaced by
an extensive new historiographical overview, this collection brings
together a selection of Alexandra Walsham's essays written over the
last fifteen years, fully revised and updated to reflect recent
research in this flourishing field. Collectively these make a major
contribution to our understanding of minority Catholicism and the
Counter Reformation in the era after the Council of Trent.
