About this book

This edited collection brings together varying angles and approaches to tackle the multi-dimensional issue of anti-Catholicism since the Protestant Reformation in Britain and Ireland. It is of course difficult to infer from such geographically and historically diverse studies one single contention, but what the book as a whole suggests is that there can be no teleological narration of anti-Catholicism – its manifestations were episodic, more or less rooted in common worldviews, and its history does not end today.

Reviews

“This collection therefore appears to be aimed at scholars and students already acquainted with the historical developments across the period. ... It is indeed a searching and empirically valuable collection of articles which includes some well-documented and persuasive case studies from researchers working across periods and fields.” (Rachel Rogers, Miranda, Vol. 23, 2021)
