This is the first full study of English Catholic spirituality in
the modern period. Mary Heimann reassesses Roman Catholic piety as
practised in Victorian England, stressing the importance of
devotion in shaping the characteristics of the Catholic community.
Prayers, devotions, catechisms, confraternities, and missionary
work enabled traditional English Catholicism not only to survive
but to emerge as the most resilient Christian community in
twentieth-century England. Dr Heimann's scholarly and original
study offers a controversial analysis of the influence of
long-established recusant devotions and attitudes in the new
context of the re-establishment of Roman Catholicism in England
from the mid-nineteenth century. Challenging widely held
assumptions that Irish influences, government legislation, or
directives from Rome can account for English developments in this
period, this book offers important new insights into religion and
culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
