The plight of Catholics in Elizabethan England has long attracted
the interest of historians and it has long been appreciated that
the key to understanding their position lies partly in the
voluminous polemical literature which they published. Nearly three
hundred tracts were printed in English and Latin and more
circulated in manuscript. The purpose of this book is to use such
material as a source for understanding the political ideas of this
religious minority in the age of the Wars of Religion. Dr Holmes
concentrates on the two principal dilemmas which faced Catholics:
whether they should remain loyal to the Queen or might resist her
government and how far, if loyal, they might accommodate themselves
to the religious laws she imposed on all Englishmen. He sees the
Catholic response to both these problems as being in essence an
interplay between the desire to resist and the need to find
compromise or some means of peaceful accommodation with the
political and religious status quo.
