The History of the Jesuits in England 1580 to 1773 is a comprehensive account of the Jesuit order's presence and influence in England during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Written by Ethelred L. Taunton, the book explores the Jesuits' role in English society, their involvement in political and religious affairs, and their impact on the cultural and intellectual landscape of the country.The book begins with an overview of the Jesuits' arrival in England in the late 16th century, and their subsequent efforts to establish a foothold in the country despite intense opposition from the Protestant establishment. Taunton then delves into the Jesuits' activities during the reigns of James I, Charles I, and the Commonwealth, examining their involvement in various political and religious controversies, including the Gunpowder Plot and the Popish Plot.Throughout the book, Taunton provides detailed biographies of key Jesuit figures, including Robert Persons, Henry Garnet, and John Gerard, and explores their contributions to the order's mission in England. He also examines the Jesuits' role in the development of Catholic scholarship and education in England, particularly through the establishment of schools and colleges.The book concludes with an analysis of the Jesuits' expulsion from England in 1773, and their subsequent return to the country in the 19th century. Overall, The History of the Jesuits in England 1580 to 1773 is a comprehensive and engaging account of the Jesuits' complex and often controversial history in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
