Beskrivning

The second volume of The Oxford History of British & Irish Catholicism traces the fortunes of Catholic communities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland across a period of great uncertainty and change. From the outset of the Civil Wars in 1641 to the Jacobite rising of 1745, Catholics in the three kingdoms were varied in their responses to tumultuous events and tantalising opportunities. The competing forces of dynamism and conservatism within these communities saw them constantly seeking to re-situate or re-imagine themselves as their relationship to the state, to Protestantism, to continental Europe, as well as the wider world beyond, changed and evolved. Consciously transnational, the volume moves away from insular conceptualisations of Catholicism and instead stresses connections with the European continent and beyond. Early chapters give broad overviews of the experience of Catholics in the period, tracking key events and important developments from 1641 to 1745. Chapters then address specific aspects of Catholicism, including empire and overseas missions, missionary activity, devotion, spirituality, trade, material culture, music, and architecture, among others, revealing a complex, rich and varied history of Catholicism in the period.

Recensioner i media

The rich discussions, considerations, and coverage contained in Volume II make it an excellent investment. It provides a means to access critical topics that often receive less attention. The volume makes clear that Catholic studies encompass the devotional but also the political, economic, and imperial, showing how Catholics engaged in "state growing" events. All of this succeeds in reinforcing the volume's goal to demonstrate the importance of bringing Catholics into the broader narrative of early modern British studies.
