  • Nobody Expects the English Inquisition

    Open AccessFrank E Smith, Frederick E SmithARTICLEThe English Historical Review2026

    Historians have long regarded Mary I’s brutal campaign against heresy—a campaign which saw almost 300 Protestants burned alive—as a clumsy, heavy-handed and ultimately counter-productive attempt to turn back the clock of the English Reformation. However, in 2009, Eamon Duffy advanced a controversial new interpretation. Mary’s anti-heresy campaign was not only well planned and executed, Duffy argued, but it was achieving considerable success by th…

  • English Convents in Catholic Europe, c.1600–1800, by James E. Kelly

    Open AccessFrank E SmithARTICLEThe English Historical Review2021

    The key insight behind James Kelly’s meticulously researched exploration of early modern English convents in Catholic Europe is that ‘nationality was but a characteristic’ of these convents’ identities, ‘rather than the defining element’ (p. 186). In contrast to scholars who have foregrounded these institutions’ ‘Englishness’, Kelly argues that, even if they could never completely escape their national identity, English convents understood themse…

  • Reinventing the Counter-Reformation in Marian England, 1553–1558

    Open AccessFrank E SmithARTICLEThe Historical Journal2020References: 45

    Over the last thirty years, historians have made several important contributions to our understanding of the short but dramatic restoration of Catholicism in 1550s England. United by a shared rejection of the hitherto dominant interpretation of Mary I's reign as a retrograde and unfortunate interlude in the history of the English Reformation, so-called ‘revisionists’ have convincingly argued that Mary in fact presided over a remarkably dynamic an…

  • Life After Exile

    Open AccessFrank E SmithARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018Cited by: 1

    Over the last twenty years, a wealth of studies on early modern exile movements across Europe have emphasised the many problems experienced by émigrés, in particular when justifying their flight in the eyes of their compatriots back home. However, most of these studies see such difficulties coming to an end upon the return of émigrés to their native lands. Homecoming exiles were supposedly treated as quasi-martyrs for the faith and lauded as hero…

  • The Origins of Recusancy in Elizabethan England Reconsidered

    Open AccessFrank E SmithARTICLEThe Historical Journal2016Cited by: 2References: 11

    Most historians now acknowledge that Catholic recusancy existed in small pockets throughout 1560s and early 1570s England thanks to the sporadic efforts of a handful of former Marian priests. However, it is widely agreed that the influx of continentally trained seminarians and missionaries from abroad after 1574 was responsible for transforming the ‘curious and confused’ activities of these Marian clergymen into a fully fledged, intellectually ju…

  • The Struggle for Soft Power in Asia

    Ian Hall, Frank E Smith et al.ARTICLEAsian Security2013Cited by: 14

    Throughout Asia, states are competing to build and leverage soft power using public diplomacy. This article examines these investments, whether they pay dividends, and why they are being made. A mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis shows little, if any, positive correlation between public diplomacy by Asian states and foreign public opinion. We therefore ask why states invest in public diplomacy when it does not seem to work. We argue tha…
