Thea Lindquist deposited John Taylor (1597-1655): English Catholic Gentleman and Caroline Diplomat in the group

Although he figured prominently in Charles I’s secret Habsburg foreign policy during the war, published information on Taylor is sparse.

Liesbeth Corens deposited Sermons, Sodalities, and Saints: the Role of Religious Houses for the English Expatriate Community in the group
Recusantsbaby on Humanities Commons 8 years, 8 months agoThis paper studies the interaction between clerical and lay English Catholics on the Continent in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.

Liesbeth Corens deposited Catholic Nuns and English Identities. English protestant travellers on the English convents in the Low Countries, 1660-1730 in the group
Recusantsbaby on Humanities Commons 8 years, 8 months agoThis article challenges the predominant identification of English national identity and Anti-Catholicism. By means of English travellers’ accounts of the English nunneries they visited in the Low Countries, it argues that these offer more complex identity formation. Travellers did not bluntly repeat the Anti-Catholic stereotypes historians have…[Read more]

Liesbeth Corens deposited Saints beyond borders: Relics and the English Catholic Community in the Southern Netherlands in the group
Recusantsbaby on Humanities Commons 8 years, 8 months agoThis paper proposes a Catholic case study in a field dominated by studies on Protestant migrants. One of the main differences between the confessions was the institutional provision for the liturgical and devotional lives of laity abroad. Catholics did not found separate institutions similar to Protestant exile churches which channelled the sense…[Read more]

Open-source historical mapping on Humanities Commons 9 years, 1 month agoI kicked off a MarineLives experiment today by creating a #maphackathon pinterest board, and publicising it on Twitter.
