He invites to think the Catholic question in a Counter-Reformation and Baroque rather than medieval/archaic frame, and to do so through a substantial and facinating body of texts that penetrates into Reformation England via the problem of recusancy. Francisco Suarez's Metaphysical Disputations were published in 1597, the same year that Richard II was entered into the Stationer's Register. The two texts share sacred tropes of sovereignty, yet exist on two sides of the Reformation divide. Through the case of Suarez, the author looks for deep structures of analogy, metaphor, and resistance that link the English ans Spanish Baroque, while also attending to the coercive character of religious conflict and affiliation in this period.
