Thoroughly updated with newly discovered archival material, this second edition of The Trials of Margaret Clitherow demonstrates that the complicated and controversial life story of Margaret Clitherow is not as unique as it was once thought. In fact, Peter Lake and Michael Questier argue that her case was comparable to those of other separatist females who were in trouble with the law at the same time, in particular Anne Foster, also of York. In doing so, they shed new light on the fascinating stories of these unruly women whose fates have been excluded from Catholic and women narratives of the period.
The result is a work which considers the questions of religious sainthood and martyrdom through a gender lens, providing important insights into the relationship between society, the state and the church in Britain during the 16th century. This is a major contribution to our understanding of both English Catholicism and the Protestant regime of the Elizabethan period.

Описание: This is the first book-length study of the fascinating life of the clergyman and scholar of Welsh descent Meredith Hanmer (c.1545-1604). Drawing extensively on archival evidence, it contextualises his clerical activities and wide-ranging scholarship, and elucidates several aspects of his previously little understood career.
Описание: Despite the best efforts of the English government, Elizabethan Ireland remained resolutely Catholic. Hutchinson examines this `failure` of the Protestant Reformation. He argues that the emerging political concept of the absolutist state forms a crucial link between English policy in Ireland and the aims of the Calvinist reformers.
Описание: Morrissey has written a lengthy and detailed life and times biography of Peter Kenney. His book is an important contribution to 19th-century Irish and American religious history.
