The Reckoned Expense

Essays exploring different facets of the life and influence of Edmund Campion the sixteenth-century Jesuit and martyr. This volume forms the first modern study of Edmund Campion the Jesuit priest executed at Tyburn in 1581 and through him focuses on a theme that has been attracting growing interest among sixteenth-century historians: the passagefrom a Catholic to an Anglican England and the resistance to this move. The essays collected here investigate the historical context of Campion's mission; different aspects of his writing and work; the network of colleagues withwhom he was in contact; his relationship with contemporaries such as Sir Philip Sidney; the effect of his English mission; and the legacy he left. THOMAS M. MCCOOG S. J. is the Archivist of the British province of theSociety of Jesus and a member of the Jesuit Historical Institute at Rome.
