The Benedictine Brethren of Glendalough

  1. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766163121. Volume 2 of 2. The authors state their object in these volumes has been to get rid of idealities, and in their historical views to substitute Daguerrotypes for fancy portraits. They wanted to get at the prose of life, for we have long been flooded by what passes for its poetry. They wished to get behind the scenes, to learn the secrets of the prompters and the tricks of the mechanists. Contents: Calvin and the church of Geneva; William Whittingam and the Puritans; Archbishop Whitgift and Dr. Cartwright; John Darrel, the exorcist; Loyola and the Order of the Jesuits; Robert Parsons, Edmund Campian and the Jesuits in England; Pope Sixtus V; Charles de Valois, Duc D'Angouleme; Henry de la Tour D'Auvergne, Viscount Turenne and Duke de Bouillon.
