Books by Jos Blom

The "Early Modern Englishwoman" series makes available a comprehensive and focused collection of writings in English from 1500 to 1750. Each book in the series is by women and for and about them.

Includes two early seventeenth-century translations of Roman Catholic books by English recusant nuns - Catherine Greenbury (a Franciscan) and Mary Percy (a Benedictine). To practise their faith on the continent both these women fled Elizabethan England where Roman Catholic practice had been outlawed under pain of severe penalty (even death).
