In this new book, Arthur F. Marotti analyzes some of the rhetorical
and imaginative means by which the Catholic minority and the
Protestant majority defined themselves and their religious and
political antagonists in early modern England. He considers
Catholic writings that have been relatively neglected, as well as
the discourse of anti-Catholicism. Straddling the boundary of
history and literature, this study offers an intriguing cultural
history that focuses on the ideologized fantasies and language
found on both sides of the early modern Christian religious divide.
Marotti focuses on the period between the arrival of the first
Jesuit missionaries in England in 1580 and the climax of ongoing
religious conflict in the Restoration-era Popish Plot and the 1688
Glorious Revolution. In a series of thematically focused essays, he
covers such issues as the relationship of print culture to the
residual Catholic culture in Elizabethan England; recusant women,
Jesuits and the cultural othering of Catholics, martyrdom accounts,
the manuscript circulation of Catholic martyrdom accounts;
polemically charged Catholic and Protestant narratives of
conversion; and the depiction of Catholic plots or outrages and
providential Protestant deliverances in the construction of
Protestant English history and identity. This important and eagerly
anticipated book makes a substantial contribution to our
understanding of Catholicism and anti-Catholicism in the early
modern period. It also points to a cultural dynamic in
Anglo-American history that persisted far into the modern era.
