We would like to warmly thank their directors, namely Miguel Olmos (ERIAC), Michel Biard and Anna Bellavitis (GRHis), and Jean- François Dunyach (GDR3434), and wish to extend our thanks to the support staff in those research units, particularly to François Delisle (GRHis) and Benoît Roux (ERIAC). We are also grateful to Adam Morton and the participants in the “Anti- Catholicism in Britain and Europe” workshop at Newcastle University (September 2018) for providing stimulating ideas which helped to build this edited collection. The publishing team at Palgrave has been immensely helpful and reac- tive, and we would like to thank David Nash for including this volume in the series Histories of the Sacred and the Secular, 1700–2000. Last but not least, we would like to convey our sincerest gratitude to all the authors of this collection, for the high quality of their contributions as well as for their patience during the editorial process. v c ontents 1 The Catholic “Other” 1 Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille and Geraldine Vaughan Part I Living Together: Catholic Responses to Anti-Catholicism 19 2 Catholic Strategies of Resistance to Anti- Catholicism in Seventeenth-Century England 21 Luc Borot 3 Anti-Popery in Eighteenth-Century Scotland: A Scottish Catholic Perspective 37 Clotilde Prunier 4 Everyday Anti-Catholicism in Early Eighteenth-Century England 55 Carys Brown vii viii CONTENTS Part II Hating the Other: The Polemics of Anti-Catholicism 73 5 “The Great Contest Between the Papist and Protestant”: Anti-Catholicism in Lucy Hutchinson’s Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson 75 Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille 6 “Papists Make a Direct Profession of This Shamefull Sin”: Denouncing Catholic Ignorance in Seventeenth-Century England 93 Sandrine Parageau 7 Beyond “The General Consent of the Principall Puritans and Jesuits against Kings”: The Rationalist Plea for Resistance in John Milton and Algernon Sidney 109 Christopher Hamel 8 Through the French Looking Glass: Anti- Semitism, Anti-Protestantism and Anticlericalism.
