‘The authors do a superb job of analysing these fault line. They take the time to place Clitherow's story in the context of her family life and political events but they are not afraid of drawing broader conclusions. In their hands Clitherow's sorry tale reasserts itself as one of the most important prisms through which to view the puzzling internecine struggles of Elizabethan Catholicism as well as the contours of early-modern martyrdom. We'll continue to argue about Clitherow; was she saintly or stubborn? The best place to begin any study of this conundrum is this outstanding book.'
