Elizabethan writers -- Catholic loyalism: II. Stuart writers -- The subject of exile: I -- The subject of exile: II.The Catholic contribution to English literary culture has been widely neglected or misunderstood. This book sets out to rehabilitate a wide range of Catholic imaginative writing, while exposing the role of anti-Catholicism as an imaginative stimulus to mainstream writers in Tudor and Stuart England. It discusses canonical figures such as Sidney, Spenser, Webster and Middleton, those whose presence in the canon has been more fitful, and many who have escaped the attention of literary critics. Among the themes to emerge are the anti-Catholic imagery of revenge tragedy and the definitive contribution made by Southwell and Crashaw to the post-Reformation revival of religious verse in England. Alison Shell offers a fascinating exploration of the rhetorical stratagems by which Catholics sought to demonstrate simultaneous loyalties to the monarch and to their religion, and of the stimulus given to the Catholic literary imagination by the persecution and exile so many of these writers suffered.Catholicism, Controversy & the English Literary Imagination, 1558-1660English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismEnglish literatureCatholic authorsHistory and criticismChristianity and literatureEnglandHistory16th centuryChristianity and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryChristian literature, EnglishHistory and criticismCatholicsEnglandHistory16th centuryCatholicsEnglandHistory17th centuryCatholicsEnglandIntellectual lifeAnti-Catholicism in literatureCatholics in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.English literatureCatholic authorsHistory and criticism.Christianity and literatureHistoryChristianity and literatureHistoryChristian literature, EnglishHistory and criticism.CatholicsHistoryCatholicsHistoryCatholicsIntellectual life.Anti-Catholicism in literature.Catholics in literature.820.9/9222/09031Shell Alison685803UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910822496703321Catholicism, controversy and the English literary imagination, 1558-16601269171UNINA
