Opis

All Hail to the Archpriest is a study of public politics and polemical dispute in late Elizabethan England. It focuses on the debate among Catholic clergy about the appropriate mode of ecclesiastical government to be exercised over them, which allowed them to make a series of interventions in very major political issues of the day.

Recenzje

Written in the authors' typically punchy style, All Hail to the Archpriest should be required corrective reading for those who still believe the story of post-Reformation England can be told as if Catholics had disappeared from the scene, only to emerge whenever a handy scapegoat was required.
