The problem of Catholicism preoccupied every English government between Elizabeth I and Charles I, even if the numbers of Catholics remained small. Nevertheless, a Catholic community not only survived in early modern England but also exerted a surprising degree of influence. Amid intense persecution, expressions of Catholicism ranged from those who refused outright to attend the parish church (recusants) to 'church papists' who remained Catholics at heart. \u003ci\u003eEnglish Catholicism 1558-1642\u003c\/i\u003e shows that, against all odds, Catholics remained an influential and historically significant minority of religious dissenters in early modern England.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCo-authored with Francis Young, this volume\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ehas been updated to include recent developments in the historiography of English Catholicism.
