In Whores of Babylon, Frances E. Dolan offers a perceptive study of
the central role that Catholics and Catholicism played in early
modern English law, literature, and politics. She contends that
despite sharing the same blood, origins, and history as their
Protestant antagonists, Catholics provoked more prolific and
intemperate visual and verbal representation, and more elaborate
and sustained legal regulation, than any other marginal group in
seventeenth-century England. This careful and thorough study
examines legal and literary representations of the "Catholic
menace" during three crises in Protestant/Catholic relations, from
the Gunpowder Plot (1605) to the Popish Plot and Meal Tub Plot
(1678-80). It also offers the first sustained analysis of the
extent to which gender issues informed both Catholicism and
anti-Catholicism in the early modern period. Available for the
first time in paperback, this book will appeal to scholars and
students of early modern England, Catholic history, and gender
studies.
