Klappentext zu „In Hope of Heaven “
This book represents a fresh look at four Recusant writers of the sixteenth century - John Fisher, Thomas More, Robert Southwell, and Benedict Canfield - each imprisoned for the practice of his Catholic faith. All are united by the additional bond that while in prison, they wrote books in which they stated their ultimate belief that the crown of martyrdom awaited those who persevered. At times polemical, at other times reflective and consolatory, these men encapsulated the best of traditional Catholic thought for an audience living in shifting and perilous times. This book offers a new evaluation of an old and vital tradition, one too often neglected by traditional literary studies.

Pressezitat
"Dr. Strauss has written a valuable and extraordinarily lucid study of four Catholic Recusant writers of the sixteenth century. John Fisher, Thomas More, and Robert Southwell were imprisoned and executed for holding on to the old faith; Benedict Canfield was imprisoned and later exiled for the same reason. They all wrote books while undergoing their ordeal, and these books have a perennial interest since they search out hope and consolation during times of religious persecution. This study is particularly useful because these Recusant writers are often neglected in current critical study. In addition, the book is a pleasure to read." (Richard Harp, University of Nevada, Las Vegas)
