NEW : Volume 73: Francis Slingsby (1611–1642) and the Jesuits , edited by Brian Mac Cuarta (September 2026) This new Camden volume highlights Jesuit involvement in conversion to Catholicism in the Caroline era. It draws on the experience of one young man, Francis Slinsgby, in Rome and Ireland. Themes include elite women as promotors of Catholic life in Wentworth’s Ireland; Jesuit efforts to liberate their protégé, imprisoned in Dublin; Slingsby’s friendship with the 3rd earl of Castlehaven; and travels in France with a visit to Loudun, scene of the celebrated exorcisms. First-hand testimonies illuminate the experience of students from the Stuart kingdoms in Catholic educational institutions in mid-seventeenth century Rome.
