Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is a scholarly reassessment of English Roman Catholic piety at grass-roots level in Victorian England. Dr Heimann's study offers a controversial analysis of the influence of long-established recusant practices and attitudes in the new context of the re-establishment of Roman Catholicism in England from the mid-nineteenth century.
MoreLong description:
This is the first full study of English Catholic spirituality in the modern period. Mary Heimann reassesses Roman Catholic piety as practised in Victorian England, stressing the importance of devotion in shaping the characteristics of the Catholic community. Prayers, devotions, catechisms, confraternities, and missionary work enabled traditional English Catholicism not only to survive but to emerge as the most resilient Christian community in twentieth-century England.
Dr Heimann's scholarly and original study offers a controversial analysis of the influence of long-established recusant devotions and attitudes in the new context of the re-establishment of Roman Catholicism in England from the mid-nineteenth century. Challenging widely held assumptions that Irish influences, government legislation, or directives from Rome can account for English developments in this period, this book offers important new insights into religion and culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This book has a valuable message: devotional practice is not to be dismissed as merely a manifestation of social conformity; but neither is it a private matter.
