This collection of essays explores the survival of Catholic culture
in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England-a time of Protestant
domination and sometimes persecution. Contributors examine not only
devotional, political, autobiographical, and other written texts,
but also material objects such as church vestments, architecture,
and symbolic spaces. Among the topics discussed in this volume are
the influence of Latin culture on Catholic women, Marian devotion,
the activities of Catholics in continental seminaries and convents,
the international context of English Catholicism, and the
influential role of women as maintainers of Catholic culture in a
hostile religious and political environment. Catholic Culture in
Early Modern England makes an important contribution to the ongoing
project of historians and literary scholars to rewrite the cultural
history of post-Reformation English Catholicism.
This collection of original essays by literary critics and
historians analyzes a wide range of Milton's writing, from his
early poetry, through his mid-century political prose, to De
Doctrina Christiana, which was unpublished in his lifetime, and
finally to his last and greatest poems. The contributors
investigate the rich variety of approaches to Milton's engagement
with Catholicism and its relationship to reformed religion. The
essays address latent tensions and contradictions, explore the
nuances of Milton's relationship to the easy commonplaces of
Protestant compatriots, and disclose the polemical strategies and
tactics that often shape that engagement. The contributors link
Milton and Catholicism with early modern confessional conflicts
between Catholics and Protestants that in turn led to new models
and standards of authority, scholarship, and interiority. In
Milton's case, he deployed anti-Catholicism as a rhetorical device
and the negative example out of which Protestants could shape their
identity. The contributors argue that Milton's anti-Catholicism
aligns with his understanding of inwardness and conscience and
illuminates one of the central conflicts between Catholics and
Protestants in the period. Building on recent scholarship on
Catholic and anti-Catholic discourses over the English Tudor and
Stuart period, new understandings of martyrdom, and scholarship on
Catholic women, Milton and Catholicism, provides a diverse and
multifaceted investigation into a complex and little-explored field
in Milton studies. Contributors: Alastair Bellany, Thomas Cogswell,
Thomas N. Corns, Ronald Corthell, Angelica Duran, Martin
Dzelzainis, John Flood, Estelle Haan, and Elizabeth Sauer.
