Religious Ideology and Cultural Fantasy

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the interplay between Catholic and Protestant identities in early modern England, Arthur F. Marotti examines how both groups defined themselves and their adversaries through rhetoric and imagination. His study spans from the arrival of Jesuit missionaries in 1580 to the climax of religious conflict during the Restoration era. Through thematic essays, Marotti explores topics like print culture, the experiences of recusant women, and narratives of martyrdom, illuminating the enduring cultural dynamics of Catholicism and anti-Catholicism in Anglo-American history.
