John Morrill studied in Oxford and then taught in Cambridge for 40 years, supervising more than 100 PhD students. He has written and edited 25 books and more than 100 essays in edited volumes and refereed journals. His interests are in the political, social, religious, and cultural history of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and their interactions, principally in the period 1500-1750. Since 1996 he has been ordained as a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church.Liam Temple gained his PhD from Northumbria University and has since published widely on the religious history of Britain. His first book, Mysticism in Early Modern England, was published in 2019. He has published articles in Church History, Reformation and Renaissance Review, and British Catholic History. His current research explores the influence of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in England from the start of the seventeenth century to the present day. He has previously taught at a range of UK universities including Durham, Northumbria, and Sunderland.

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.
