The death of Edmund Campion in 1581 marked a disjunction between
the world of printed untruth and private, handwritten, truth in
early modern England. Gerard Kilroy traces the circulation of
manuscripts connected with Campion to reveal a fascinating network
that not only stretched from the Court to Warwickshire and East
Anglia but also crossed the confessional boundaries. Kilroy shows
that in this intricate web Sir John Harington was a key figure,
using his disguise as a wit to conceal a lifelong dedication to
Campion's memory. Sir Thomas Tresham is shown as expressing his
devotion to Campion both in his coded buildings and in a previously
unpublished manuscript, Bodleian MS Eng. th. b. 1-2, whose
theological and cultural riches are here fully explored. This book
provides startling new views about Campion's literary, historical
and cultural impact in early modern England. The great strength of
this study is its exploitation of archival manuscript sources,
offering the first printed text and translation of Campion's
Virgilian epic, a fully collated text of 'Why doe I use my paper,
ynke and pen', and Harington's four decades of theological
epigrams, printed for the first time in the order he so carefully
designed. Edmund Campion: Memory and Transcription lays the
foundations of the first full literary assessment of Campion the
scholar, the impact he had on the literature of early modern
England, and the long legacy in manuscript writing.
