Some 280 letters from a leading figure in the eighteenth-century
Catholic community shed new light on a turbulent period. Edited by
FRANS KORSTEN, JOSS BLOM, FRANS BLOM AND GEOFFREY SCOTT James Peter
Coghlan [1731-1800] was the chief English Catholic printer,
publisher and bookseller of the second half of the eighteenth
century. It was mainly through him that the English Catholics were
provided with an extensive polemical, catechetical, pastoral and
devotional literature of their own. Coghlan was also a pivotal
figure in the infrastructure and logistics of the Catholic
community, acting as a middleman between the various layers and
segments of that community. In the turbulent days of the Catholic
Committee after 1785, he found himself uneasily in the midst of the
fray. He corresponded with dozens of British Catholics, at home and
abroad, and his letters, pious, shrewd, dedicated, garrulous and
eminently practical, yield a fascinating insight into the
day-to-day working of Catholic book production as well as the
behind-the-scenes life of the English Catholic community. FRANS
KORSTEN, JOSS BLOM and FRANS BLOM teach English Literature at
Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. GEOFFREY SCOTT is
Abbot of Douai.
Delicious entertainments of the soule is a translation of a
collection of conferences which Francis de Sales held for the Order
of the Sisters of the Visitation. This order took the form of an
institute for young girls and widows who wanted to enter a convent
but lacked the strength or the inclination for the physical
austerities of the great orders. It was for these sisters that
Francis held conferences or 'familiar conversations' on religious
topics at regular intervals. These conversations were not written
out by Francis himself but were noted down and collected by the
sisters. Pudentiana Deacon's translation of these transcripts gives
the reader an idea of the personality of the speaker. De Sale comes
across as a humane, commonsensical, practical man with an
occasional sense of humour and a shrewd idea of the specific
worries and temptations of his audience.
This is a new release of the original 1937 edition.
