Abstract

This book describes the texts produced by recusant writers as part of an effort to reconvert Britain to Catholicism between 1580 and 1603 and suggests that rhetoric is consciously and successfully used by these authors. It also shows how rhetoric is necessary for recusant works to accomplish their devotional purpose.
