- Reconsiders work by Shakespeare, Donne, and Jonson, as well as many other well-known and lesser-known writers
- Includes a number of previously unavailable primary sources
- Modern spelling and punctuation as well as full notes and introductions
Early Modern Catholicism makes available in modern spelling and punctuation substantial Catholic contributions to literature, history, political thought, devotion, and theology in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Rather than perpetuate the usual stereotypes and misinformation, it provides a fresh look at Catholic writing long suppressed, marginalized, and ignored. The anthology gives back voices to those silenced by prejudice, exile, persecution, or martyrdom while attention to actual texts challenges conventional beliefs about the period.
The anthology is divided into eight sections entitled Controversies,
Lives and Deaths, Poetry, Instructions and Devotions, Drama, Histories, Fiction, and Documents, and includes sixteen black and white illustrations from a variety of Early Modern sources. Amongst the selections are texts which illuminate the role of women in recusant community and in the Church; the rich traditions of prayer and mysticism; the theology and politics of martyrdom; the emergence of the Catholic Baroque in literature and art; and the polemical battles fought within the Church and against its enemies. Early Modern Catholicism also provides a context that redefines the established canons of Early Modern England, including such figures as Edmund Spenser, John Donne, John Milton, William Shakespeare, and Ben
Jonson.Readership: Students of Early Modern Literature, Theology, and History. Students of Shakespeare with an interest in cultural and religious contexts.

"Robert S. Miola's compendious and highly accessible collection of the polemical, biographical, poetic, devotional and historical texts of early modern Catholicism will prove an invaluable resource for students, their instructors, and interested members of the general public." - J. Patrick Hornbeck II, The Way "Robert Miola's excellent anthology offers a wide range of writing..." - Paul Dean "A highly useful set of primary historical sources... a fresh look at the history of the period... this book belongs in every college and university library where students of history and students of religion conduct primary research." - William V. Hudon, The Review of English Studies "The
insightful introduction, informative, non-tendentious footnotes, and an extensive bibliography demonstrate the editor's mastery of secondary literary and historical sources." - Thomas M McCoog "This is a rich and timely resource." - Alison Shell, Durham Univeristy "this anthology is a major achievement and is sure to be warmly welcomed" - Anne B. Gardiner, Recusant History "a collection that opens a window on the period, allowing you to breathe its air and hear its voices in a way that is quite revelatory, and it undermines much that has long been taken for granted about the Reformation." - The Tablet
