Catholicism, Controversy and the English Literary Imagination, 1558-1660
"Catholicism, Controversy, and the English Literary Imagination, 1558-1660 is an complex study of Catholic poets and dramatists in what is perhaps the most complex period of English literary and religious history. Shell's approach to the religious and literary changes of this period is refreshingly candid. Most of the traditional literary historians simply group everything under the heading Christian, and as the author has shown, the differences are both confessional and aesthetic. All in all, Shell writes a very learned and interesting book." Church History
Susan Doran describes and analyses the process of the Elizabethan Reformation, placing it in the English and the European context. She examines the religious views and policies of the Queen, the making of the 1559 settlement and the resulting reforms. The changing beliefs of the English people are discussed and the fortunes of both Puritanism and Catholicism. Finally she looks at the strength and weaknesses of Elizabeth I as Royal Governor, and of the Church of England as a whole.
