The Oxford History of British and Irish Catholicism, Vol II

Description

The second volume of The Oxford History of British & Irish Catholicism traces the fortunes of Catholic communities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland from the outset of the Civil Wars in 1641 to the Jacobite rising of 1745. Consciously transnational, it stresses connections with the European continent and beyond.

• The work features chapters by 20 scholars ranging from established professors to early career scholars, all of whom are presenting current and cutting edge research, which brings together fields which are not well connected and especially the older 'ecclesiastical' history with the new emphases on religious cultures
• Offers a broad and comprehensive overview of Catholicism in Britain, Ireland and beyond, which not only summarises much important new work but makes connections not previously explored
• Offers a genuine attempt to move out of seeing English, Scottish and Irish Catholicism in their own 'silos ', rather encouraging a properly comparative and holistic study of Catholicism, bringing the way we look at British and Irish Catholicism into line with major re-evaluations of early modern history and the need for international analyses of the period
