Catholics Writing the Nation in Early Modern Britain and Ireland

Zusatztext ... this is a well-written and appealing book ... this study sheds important light on the differing ways in which exiles negotiated and reconciled being both English and Catholic. Informationen zum Autor Christopher Highley received his Ph.D. in English from Stanford University in 1990 and has taught since then at The Ohio State University. He is the author of Shakespeare, Spenser, and the Crisis in Ireland (Cambridge, 1997) and the co-editor of two collections of essays: John Foxe and his World (Ashgate, 2002) and Catholic Culture in Early Modern England (University of Notre Dame Press, 2007). Klappentext Examines the ways in which Catholic writers between the reigns of Mary Tudor and James I fashioned their own competing discourses of national and cultural identity. Highley considers a range of writing produced by a diverse Catholic community: religious polemic, ecclesiastical histories, martyrologies, and correspondence.
