Summary: | Preliminary Material -- Introduction -- 1 “Apostata Jesuits, Apostata Secular Priests”: Ongoing Domestic Discontent, 1598-1600 -- 2 Peace Unattained: 1598-1600 -- 3 “Havinge holines in there mouthes but wickednes in there heartes”: English Jesuits on the Defensive, 1601-1602 -- 4 Down but Not Out: English Jesuit Setbacks, 1601-1602 -- 5 “Your Redemption is at Hand”: The Passing of the Old Regime, 1603-1605 -- Conclusion: The Character of Elizabethan Jesuitism -- Bibliography -- Index.

Meanwhile the succession of Queen Elizabeth I, the subject that dared not speak its name, had become a more pressing concern.
