Summary

"The word recusant was originally used to describe those Catholics whose names were entered on registers because of their refusal to attend Anglican services during the reign of Elizabeth I, but the term 'recusant writings' covers writing by Catholics, whether open or covert. For more than a hundred years after the accession of Elizabeth in 1588, the publication of Catholic books was prohibited by law. Geraint Bowen's book is the first to be published on writing by Welsh recusants."--BOOK JACKET
