As we know from northern parishes Anglican clergy were often willing to connive at, or at least turn a blind eye to, burials of their Catholic parishioners in the churchyard, even with the presence of a priest on occasion. Furthermore a funeral gave the family of the deceased the opportunity to demonstrate their public affirmation of loyalty to the state and their commitment and generosity to their neighbours by the provision of hospitality and even charity on the day of the funeral, as did the Catholic Salvin family at Durham soon after the accession of George I. Dr Brown has provided a rich narrative and a finely nuanced argument welding together diverse strands in recent historiography into a major contribution to lively field of historical debate to religious, social and political historians, as well as those concerned with shifts in cultural practices. There is much to be pondered in this excellent book.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"36 1","pages":"382 - 385"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42067345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard account of events was established more than sixty years ago by David Knowles (1896-1974), Benedictine monk and Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge, in his evocative and indispensable work, The Religious Orders in England.1 In more recent years, the overwhelming success of Eamon Duffy’s The Stripping of the Altars has led scholars to concentrate not on the abbeys, but rather on life in English parishes in the sixteenth century.2 Now however, two fresh studies about the closure of the religious houses, with dramatically different approaches, have emerged almost at once: James G.

Charles II’s having negotiated, on the eve of the 1681 Oxford Parliament, a new deal with Louis XIV so that he would no longer have to depend on parliamentary subsidies is seen as a winning move: ‘another high card : : :with this knowledge he could face a new assembly with confidence’ (269). Charles’s failure to pardon those condemned for the Plot is seen as strategic: he ‘shrewdly avoided further inflaming the situation’ which only would have ‘delighted’ Shaftesbury (139). The king’s continued prosecution of recusants, even when belief in the Plot was waning, was a political necessity: ‘tightening the screws on English Catholics aided King Charles in his increasingly determined effort to counter Shaftesbury’ (210). But if Stater is at a loss to explain the king’s ready acquiescence to the death of the Catholic primate Oliver Plunkett in July 1681 (‘Charles was not by nature a persecutor’ [274]), contemporaries knew the court was keen to dispatch Plunkett’s fellow-sufferer Edward Fitzharris, a double agent hired by Charles II’s favourite mistress to plant a seditious libel on his political enemies, to prevent him from making damaging revelations in Parliament. There is a happy ending, of sorts: Shaftesbury, after plotting ‘overt treason’, flees to the Netherlands where he dies soon afterwards. The merry monarch, ‘after checkmating the Whigs’, ‘ruled a one-party state’ and ‘reverted to his former state of charismatic indolence’ (278). The judicial murders of Catholics were followed by executions for the Rye House Plot and then the infamous Bloody Assizes under James II, whose short reign ended with the Revolution of 1688. This is a glossy and gory narrative that will appeal to generalists and should attract a new generation of readers to late Stuart history and its surprising, and alarming, relevance to our own conspiratorial age. In this Victor Stater has done a service to scholars, as well as the broader popular audience targeted by this book.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"36 1","pages":"376 - 379"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47215545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite his rural location and apparently humble status, he played an important part in supporting the Catholic seminaries in France and Portugal by supplying them with students, material goods and financial assistance. Bordley left behind him a lively correspondence relating to these activities which provides us with a valuable insight into the world of eighteenth-century priestly training in the English colleges. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of a churchman who laboured with an impressive level of entrepreneurial skill and independence. This article argues that Bordley defies the common image of the seigneurial Catholic curate in service primarily to a family of the landed gentry in the eighteenth century. In doing so he illustrates an example of the type of energetic cleric who provided a crucial lifeline to a church that came to rely less and less on its aristocracy as the century progressed.","PeriodicalId":41292,"journal":{"name":"British Catholic History","volume":"36 1","pages":"280 - 308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41876954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
