General note |
In 1581 Edmund Campion, a Jesuit priest working underground in Protestant England, was found guilty of treason and hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn. Years later he would be beatified. Evelyn Waugh's compelling and elegant narrative is a homage to the man he revered as a poet, scholar, hero and martyr. He tells Campion's story with a novelist's eye for detail, from his success as an Oxford scholar, through his travels around Europe, his doomed secret mission to England and on to his capture and dramatic trial. Vividly re-creating a time of persecution and surveillance, Evelyn Waugh - author of A Handful of Dust, Scoop, Vile Bodies, Brideshead Revisited and the Sword of Honour trilogy - writes that 'the hunted, trapped murdered priest is our contemporary and Campion's voice sounds to us across the centuries'.<br/><br/>Home<br/>Search results<br/>Full display<br/>Previous recordNext record<br/>Edmund Campion : Jesuit and martyr<br/>Edmund Campion : Jesuit and martyr<br/>Waugh, Evelyn, 1903-1966<br/>2011<br/>Books, Manuscripts<br/>Record details<br/>Title:<br/>Edmund Campion : Jesuit and martyr / Evelyn Waugh.<br/>Creator/Contributor:<br/>Waugh, Evelyn, 1903-1966<br/>Publisher:<br/>London : Penguin, 2011.<br/>Show More<br/>Similar searches<br/>Loading...<br/>People who borrowed this also borrowed<br/>Loading...<br/>Similar titles<br/>Loading...<br/>Titles by this author<br/>Loading...<br/>Titles in this series<br/>Loading...<br/>Summary<br/>Edmund Campion (1540-1581) was a Jesuit priest who, in the turbulent years before the Spanish Armada, was charged with treason and executed.
