 The Past and Present Society has an invaluable blog available on its website. I was particularly interested to see the report by Olivia Formby on the conference held at Emmanuel College, Cambridge last April on this subject. It can be read  here  .

 There is an interesting article by Elizabeth Hines on this subject in the  Journal of Early Modern History . The abstract can be seen  here  . 

 Peter Gaunt is the recently retired Professor of History at the University of Chester. The World Turned Upside Down website has a trio of talks by him on these subjects which can be seen  here  .

  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.

This exhibition is currently being advertised along with a day conference in March, 2027 which will be led by Dr Ismini Pells (Oxford University) and involve other experts. The Museum's webpage will provide further details shortly.
