Publisher's Synopsis
""The Condition of Catholics under James I: Father Gerard's Narrative of the Gunpowder Plot"" is a historical book written by John Morris and published in 1871. The book explores the experiences of Catholics during the reign of James I in England, and focuses on the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The author relies heavily on the first-hand account of Father John Gerard, a Jesuit priest who was involved in the plot and later wrote a detailed narrative of his experiences. Morris uses Father Gerard's narrative to shed light on the challenges faced by Catholics in England during this period, including persecution, discrimination, and restrictions on their religious practices. The book also delves into the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between Catholics and Protestants, and the broader religious and political conflicts that shaped the era. Overall, ""The Condition of Catholics under James I"" is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism in England, the Gunpowder Plot, and the broader political and social context of early modern England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
