St Robert Southwell: Collected PoemsPaperback, 1 April 2007

Presented not only in English but also featuring rare Latin verses accompanied by a faithful new translation, this is the definitive volume of poems of a neglected figure in sixteenth-century literature. New texts are offered based on the manuscripts that were circulated in secret among English Catholics after Southwell's death, returning to the poems some of their original purpose of communicating forbidden theologies and doctrines among a criminalized and near-silenced readership of secret groups.
