- Summary:
- "This collection of essays, previously published but substantively updated and revised and prefaced by a wide-ranging introduction that sets them within the larger scholarly context, explores the persistent Catholic presence in English literature from the mid-sixteenth through the late seventeenth centuries, despite the anti-Catholicism that is at the foundation of English nationalism during the period."-- Provided by publisher.
