The second volume of The Oxford History of British & Irish Catholicism traces the fortunes of Catholic communities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland across a period of great uncertainty and change. From the outset of the Civil Wars in 1641 to the Jacobite rising of 1745, Catholics in the three kingdoms were varied in their responses to tumultuous events and tantalising opportunities. The competing forces of dynamism and conservatism within these communities saw them constantly seeking to re-situate or re-imagine themselves as their relationship to the state, to Protestantism, to continental Europe, as well as the wider world beyond, changed and evolved. Consciously transnational, the volume moves away from insular conceptualisations of Catholicism and instead stresses connections with the European continent and beyond. Early chapters give broad overviews of the experience of Catholics in the period, tracking key events and important developments from 1641 to 1745. Chapters then address specific aspects of Catholicism, including empire and overseas missions, missionary activity, devotion, spirituality, trade, material culture, music, and architecture, among others, revealing a complex, rich and varied history of Catholicism in the period.
John Morrill studied in Oxford and then taught in Cambridge for 40 years, supervising more than 100 PhD students. He has written and edited 25 books and more than 100 essays in edited volumes and refereed journals. His interests are in the political, social, religious, and cultural history of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and their interactions, principally in the period 1500-1750. Since 1996 he has been ordained as a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church.
Liam Temple gained his PhD from Northumbria University and has since published widely on the religious history of Britain. His first book, Mysticism in Early Modern England, was published in 2019. He has published articles in Church History, Reformation and Renaissance Review, and British Catholic History. His current research explores the influence of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in England from the start of the seventeenth century to the present day. He has previously taught at a range of UK universities including Durham, Northumbria, and Sunderland.
