H. Outram Evennett was a university lecturer in history at Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity College. This book, based on his Birkbeck Lectures of 1951, represents some twenty years' work on the sources of the Counter-Reformation. Evennett did not live to complete his task, but he has provided a remarkable synthesis of the vast European literature on this subject.
Dr John Bossy (1933 – 2015) was a British historian who was a Professor of History at the University of York. He edited Evennett's lectures for publication and added a Postscript, analysing some of the problems raised in the years since the lectures were delivered.
"The book is outstanding because it presents a new and perceptive approach to the whole question of Catholic reform in the sixteenth century... perhaps the most important contribution yet made by an English-speaking historian in this field of study." —The Catholic Historical Review
