Stuart writers -- The subject of exile: I -- The subject of exile: II. 330 $aThe 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. 517 3 $aCatholicism, Controversy & the English Literary Imagination, 1558-1660 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xCatholic authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aChristianity and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aChristian literature, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCatholics$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCatholics$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aCatholics$zEngland$xIntellectual life 606 $aAnti-Catholicism in literature 606 $aCatholics in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xCatholic authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity and literature$xHistory 615 0$aChristian literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCatholics$xHistory 615 0$aCatholics$xHistory 615 0$aCatholics$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAnti-Catholicism in literature. 615 0$aCatholics in literature. 676 $a820.9/9222/09031 700 $aShell$b Alison$0685803 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780069303321 996 $aCatholicism, controversy and the English literary imagination, 1558-1660$91269171 997 $aUNINA
