Synopsis

This book presents historical accounts of the reestablishment and evolution of the Roman Catholic Church and Benedictine Order in England during the 17th century. Following the Reformation, the Church was forced to adapt and the Benedictine Order had a major role to play in that process. This volume primarily offers an examination of the Benedictine Congregation from its reestablishment under the first of the Stuarts to the death of James II. The latter half of the book features the diary entries of a member of the Benedictine community, providing first-hand accounts of the community's internal workings. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of the Catholic Church and the evolution of religious life in England during and after the Reformation.
