The Catholic and Counter Reformations (2nd ed)

This edition incorporates a discussion of three important topics of the catholic reform period; the Council of Trent, the impact of the Jesuits and the international rivalry between catholics and protestants.

The author also considers the impact of the mystics and their movements.

In addition, the title explores the assumptions made by historians, encouraging the readers to make up their own minds about accepted ways of viewing these events.

It is intended for A level and undergraduate students.
