Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The Life of the Ven. Philip Howard Earl of Arundel and Surrey" offers a compelling and scholarly look into the life of one of the most significant figures of the Elizabethan era. This biography traces the journey of Philip Howard, the 20th Earl of Arundel, from his early years as a prominent courtier in the favor of Queen Elizabeth I to his profound spiritual awakening and eventual conversion to Catholicism. Author Cecil Kerr provides a detailed narrative of the religious and political turmoil of late 16th-century England, focusing on the heavy price paid by those who maintained their allegiance to the Catholic Church. After his attempt to flee the country to practice his faith was thwarted, Howard was imprisoned in the Tower of London. The work highlights his ten-year confinement, during which his commitment to his beliefs remained unshaken despite the loss of his titles, wealth, and family contact. Drawing upon historical records, this work portrays a man whose internal transformation from a worldly aristocrat to a devout martyr serves as a testament to the power of conviction. This biography is an essential resource for those interested in Tudor history, the history of the Catholic Church in Britain, and the personal struggles behind the Great Recusancy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
