Focusing on the evolution of Catholic communities in post-Reformation Britain, this collection of essays by Alexandra Walsham shifts the narrative from traditional themes of recusants and martyrs to those who conformed to the ecclesiastical establishment. It delves into the moral and political challenges faced by clergy and laity, reassesses the Counter Reformation as an evangelical movement, and examines the communication strategies employed by Catholics. Additionally, it highlights the adaptation of Catholic ritual life amidst a repressive environment.
