My review article ‘Surveying a Field Come of Age’ has just been published in the journal British Catholic History. The book is a review of Robert E. Scully and Angela Ellis’s Companion to Catholicism and Recusancy in Britain and Ireland, but also goes beyond that to take stock of the historiography of early modern British Catholicism and the field’s recent evolution. The appearance of summative companions like Scully and Ellis’s is an indication that the field is approaching, or has attained, maturity and is seeking ways to define its identity and communicate it to scholars in other disciplines as well as to the wider public.
Nevertheless, I just wanted to capture this great list of references I can see:

As Young indicates, the field of English Reformation and Early Modern Catholic history has come a long way from the days when Maurice Powicke's The Reformation in England and H. Outram Evennett's The Spirit of the Counter-Reformation were highlights of the academic, non-confessional study of that era. It's just too bad, for me at least, that so many of these resources are so expensive! The book that tops his review essay, for example, costs $299.00!
