The reign of Queen Mary is popularly remembered largely for her
re-introduction of Catholicism into England, and especially for the
persecution of Protestants, memorably described in John Foxe's Acts
and Monuments. Mary's brief reign has often been treated as an
aberrant interruption of England's march to triumphant
Protestantism, a period of political sterility, foreign influence
and religious repression rightly eclipsed by the happier reign of
her more sympathetic half-sister, Elizabeth. In pursuit of a more
balanced assessment of Mary's religious policies, this volume
explores the theology, pastoral practice and ecclesiastical
administration of the Church in England during her reign. Focusing
on the neglected Catholic renaissance which she ushered in, the
book traces its influences and emphases, its methods and its
rationales - together the role of Philip's Spanish clergy and
native English Catholics - in relation to the wider influence of
the continental Counter Reformation and Mary's humanist learning.
Measuring these issues against the reintroduction of papal
authority into England, and the balance between persuasion and
coercion used by the authorities to restore Catholic worship, the
volume offers a more nuanced and balanced view of Mary's religious
policies. Addressing such intriguing and under-researched matters
from a variety of literary, political and theological perspectives,
the essays in this volume cast new light, not only on Marian
Catholicism, but also on the wider European religious picture.
