Edmund Gosse was one of England's foremost men of letters, despite his reputation for literary criticism which was distinctly careless with the facts. At times his mistakes were so egregious that Henry James was moved to lament Gosse's 'genius for inaccuracy'. When Rolfe's case came before the committee, Gosse urged its rejection, embroidering his remarks with gratuitous exaggerations. He was a man used to getting his own way, and having come to the view that Rolfe was undeserving, he took his 'genius for inaccuracy' to the Committee table and ensured that Rolfe's long struggle against dire poverty would continue.</i><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i><br /></i></span></span></span></div>Dr. Simon P.

Described by <i>Time </i>magazine as a, 'freakishly talented eccentric', Rolfe, after a somewhat troubled youth, grew into a literary polymath in later life before he succumbed to alcoholism and a plethora of other unsavoury activities. Nevertheless, much of his life went with the territory of being a young Catholic artist. Rolfe's infamous, <i>Hadrian VII </i>(1904) remains one of the few books that I re-read time and time again - no seminarian should be without a copy. It's genius represents a literary parallel with similar cultural shifts in late nineteenth century Europe: what Pugin and Hardman did to imagine ecclesiastical architecture as it would have been without the Reformation, Rolfe provided a narrative utopia of Catholic England without the nasty hangover of the Elizabethan Settlement: the canonisation of Mary Queen of Scots, the papal golden rose to Empress Victoria - a 'do it yourself' vade mecum to the Reconversion of England - Victoriana style.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few years ago, I was contacted by a PhD student in Sydney, Australia, who asked for information as to Rolfe's links with the English Catholic Diaspora and the Ecclesiastical Missionary Infrastructure on the Continent. At first I was horrified to think that Rolfe had anything to do with Douai, Lisbon, Valladolid et. al.

Few can argue that the subject matter of Duffy's recent opus <em>Fires of Faith: Catholic England under Mary Tudor (Yale University Press, 2009) </em>could ever be described as humourous. Duffy is acutely aware of the current global climate and naturally opens himself up to accusations of cold heartedness and a lack of compassion. An historian is not a novelist and I think, having finished the book, Duffy doesw well to avoid the bloody coating that has oozed through centuries of ecclesiastical historiography. Historical understanding is not enhanced by an endless debate as to who suffered most.</span></div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', -webkit-fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">As a triumvirate of works, with, <em>The Stripping of the Altars</em> and, <em>The Vicar Morepath, </em>Professor Duffy has done more to attack the monolithic A.G. Dicken's classical text, <em>The English Reformation </em>(London, 1964) which, despite being written in the swinging sixties, was little more than the academic equiavlent to three centuries of Whig domination of British history, than any scholar in the past forty-five years.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I was frankly suprised by the range of reviews. No-one expected Duffy to be able to publish anything without considerable attention and critical analysis. That is the measure of the man. However, the hostility evoked by the book came from the most unlikely of sources (more to follow).</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I was most suprised by David Starkey's review in <em>The Sunday Times </em>(14 June 2009):</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Eamon Duffy is a 62-year-old Irish "cradle Catholic" who, as professor of the history of Christianity at Cambridge, has made it his business to force the English to think again about the central event in their history, the Protestant Reformation. Did the Reformation take place, as Protestants claimed, because the Catholic Church was rotten within, and overwhelmed from without by the new doctrine? Or was it simply, as Catholics argued, that Henry VIII fell in lust with Anne Boleyn and, because he couldn't have his way, broke with Rome?</span></em></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></em> </div><div align="right"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Copyright - The Times</span></em></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></em> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The beauty about Starkey's analysis of <em>Fires of Faith </em>is that it is one of the few that takes the work and places it soundly with the context of its rightful historiography - as a piece of analytical historical research and without the confessionalism that has plagued English ecclesiastical history since the Reformation. That is Starkey's most attractive point - he's not anti-Catholic, he's anti-God. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I shall not give away too much from the book as it's worth buying for yourselves: Pole looms large, Mary doesn't and at times the work is chillingly uncompassionate... as all good history should be. For example, citing Starkey again:</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">[T]this is the nub of the book, the burning - all 284 of them - worked. There is no evidence, Duffy claims, that public sympathy was on the side of the heretics. If the burnings tailed off towards the end of Mary's reign, it was not because of any failure of nerve but because the supply of victimes was getting exhausted.</span></em></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span></em> </div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">To read the full review of Starkey click <span style="color:#6600cc;"><a href="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/non-fiction/article6470578.ece">here</a></span>.</span></div>Dr. Simon P.
