The Jesuits and the Joint Mission to England During 1580-1581 (Renaissance Studies, V. 4) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Did the 16th-century English Jesuits Robert Persons and Edmund Campion seek converts in order to overthrow Elizabeth's government in Pope-inspired treason as they were accused, or did they simply wish to minister to the spiritual needs of their minority coreligionists? Persecution necessitated that English Catholics study for the priesthood in Europe. The 1580-81 joint mission refers to such trained priests returning to England along with secular missionaries. In light of recent scholarship, this analysis by South (English, East Carolina U.) provides a balanced view of their motives, actions, and trial along with a graphic description of executions of the era.
