After the Reformation, England's Catholics were marginalised andexcluded from using printed media for propagandist ends. Instead,they turned to oral media, such as ballads and stories, to pleadtheir case and maintain contact with their community. Building onthe growing interest in Catholic literature which has developed inearly modern studies, Alison Shell examines the relationshipbetween Catholicism and oral culture from the mid-sixteenth to theeighteenth centuries. In order to recover the textual traces ofthis minority culture, she expands canonical boundaries, looking atanecdotes, spells and popular verse alongside more conventionallyliterary material. In her archival research she uncovers manyimportant manu* sources. This book is an importantcontribution to the rediscovery of the writings and culture of theCatholic community and will be of great interest to scholars ofearly modern literature, history and theology.

Over the last decade there has been a resurgence of writing onthe Trinity, indicating a renewal of ideas and debate concerningthis key element of Christian theology. This introductionchallenges the standard account of a decline and revival inTrinitarian theology, taking into account recent, alternativereadings of the theological tradition by Lewis Ayres and MichelBarnes amongst other scholars. By clearly analysing the scope ofthese new approaches, the authors establish the importance of aconsidered understanding of the Trinity, resisting the notion ofseparating faith and reason and identifying theology's link tospirituality. Their account also eschews the easy stereotypes ofWestern Christianity's supposedly more Unitarian approach asopposed to the more Trinitarian view of the East. Offering anoverview of the main people and themes in Trinitarian theology pastand present, this book thus provides an accessible, comprehensiveguide for students and scholars alike.
