About This Book

A chronological biography traces the life of a sixteenth-century English scholar from promising schoolboy and celebrated Oxford academic to a committed member of the Society of Jesus. It follows his continental studies and theological formation at Douay, Prague and Rome, his missionary labours in Ireland and clandestine ministry in the English counties, and the events leading to his arrest, trial, and execution. Alongside this narrative the author examines intellectual influences, personal vocation, relationships with benefactors and fellow Catholics, and the wider confessional conflicts that shaped both his public actions and private convictions.
