Note:"To remedy that neglect [the works of relatively few Catholic writers are available in individual modern editions or collections], this volume presents Catholic writing under eight related headings: controversies, lives and deaths, poetry, instructions and devotions, drama, histories, fiction, documentsm and illustrations.... Most writers excerpted affirm Church beliefs and traditions.... [and] also takes notice of extraordinary English Catholic women [writers]." - Introd.
