In 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus, a
dramatic, puzzling act that had a profound impact. This volume
traces the causes of the attack on the Jesuits, the national
expulsions that preceded universal suppression, and the
consequences of these extraordinary developments. The Suppression
occurred at a unique historical juncture, at the high-water mark of
the Enlightenment and on the cusp of global imperial crises and the
Age of Revolution. After more than two centuries, answers to how
and why it took place remain unclear. A diverse selection of essays
- covering France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, China,
Eastern Europe, and the Americas - reflects the complex
international elements of the Jesuit Suppression. The contributors
shed new light on its significance by drawing on the latest
research. Essential reading on a crucial yet previously neglected
topic, this collection will interest scholars of eighteenth-century
religious, intellectual, cultural, and political history.
