This study utilises John Donne’s works concerning the Jacobean
Settlement as a contextualised case study to examine a seriously
pressing issue in contemporary society: the issue of Catholic
loyalism post-1603 and the disputes that thistopic sparked over the
matter of conformity.Altman examines Donne’s polemic in line with
the vast expanse of literature relating to the pamphlet war and
situates Donne’s arguments within a strong contemporary tradition
of conformist thought. Within this context, the study argues that
Donne articulated a theory of royal absolutism that would have
struck home with many contemporaries who, whether Catholic or not,
were faced with a regime determined to bring them into conformity.
It further contends that the religio-political standpoint
represented by Donne was not only fairly obvious to the English
state but was also widely accepted by it. -- .
