The Contemporary Printed Literature of the English Counter-Reformation between 1558 and 1640

British Authors Published Abroad

“…For example, students of Britain's Catholic culture(s) are naturally conscious that the English, Scottish and Irish seminaries and monasteries on the continent produced an extensive literature, which has its bibliographies (though for 1640-1700, covering only books in English). 6 Similarly, Protestants of various kinds escaped abroad when their views were deemed unacceptable by the authorities and continued to write and publish from their places of exile. These include Bible translators such as William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale in the time of Henry VIII and Puritans such as those who founded the 'Pilgrim Press' and 'Richt Right' press in the Netherlands in the early 17th century.…”
