Recenzje

Corens gives a solid overview of underappreciated aspects of English Catholic networks which sustained English Catholicism during a period of disruption and dislocation ... Corens has presented an excellent case for a more fluid approach to early modern English Catholicism which recognizes the ongoing exchanges between Catholics in England and their counterparts on the European mainland. This book is a timely reminder that it was people rather than institutions who sustained English Catholicism in times of trouble.
