“A rewarding collection of essays.”<br />Peter Marshall, University of Warwick. In: <i>The Journal of Ecclesiastical History</i>, Vol. 70, No. 1 (January 2019), pp. 188-190.<br /><br />
“the collection reflects the growing prominence of early modern Catholic history in the British and European historiography and would be relevant to anyone interested in the social and cultural history of Catholicism.” <br />
Eilish Gregory, University College London. In: <i>The English Historical Review</i>, Vol. 134, No. 566 (February 2019), pp. 206-208. <br /><br />

Early Modern English Catholicism: Identity, Memory and Counter-Reformation brings together leading scholars in the field to explore the interlocking relationship between the key themes of identity, memory and Counter-Reformation and to assess the way the three themes shaped English Catholicism in the early modern period. The collection takes a long-term view of the historical development of English Catholicism and encompasses the English Catholic diaspora to demonstrate the important advances that have been made in the study of English Catholicism c.1570–1800.

The interdisciplinary collection brings together scholars from history, literary, and art history backgrounds. Consisting of eleven essays and an afterword by the late John Bossy, the book underlines the significance of early modern English Catholicism as a contributor to national and European Counter-Reformation culture.
