Exploring the intersection of Catholicism and early modern English law, literature, and politics, this study reveals how Catholics were uniquely represented and regulated compared to other marginalized groups. It delves into the portrayal of the "Catholic menace" during pivotal crises in Protestant-Catholic relations, including the Gunpowder Plot and the Popish Plot. Additionally, it provides a critical analysis of gender dynamics within both Catholicism and anti-Catholic sentiment, making it a valuable resource for scholars interested in these themes.
