| Summary: |
"This book examines the activities of William Blundell, a seventeenth-century Catholic gentleman, and using the approaches of the history of reading provides a detailed analysis of his mindset. This is an important study that will be of interest to all who work on the early modern period. The examination of Blundell's political and cultural worlds complicates generalisations about early modern religious identities and challenges a historical determinism which removes Catholics from the mainstream of early modern society."--BOOK JACKET. |
