Jews in the Society of Jesus
The Spanish origins of the Society of Jesus entailed a sensitivity about the Jewish ancestry of many of its members. This article examines the decision taken by the Fifth General Congregation of the Society (1593–1594) to exclude persons of Jewish descent ( conversos ), in light of strong criticism voiced by three leading Jesuits: Robert Persons (1546–1610), superior of the English mission, Diego de Guzmán (c.1522–1606), a noted Spanish preacher …

The Merchant of Venice in the City of Gold
Johannesburg in 1916 was feeling the vibrations of an extraordinary combination of symbolic conflicts. Lithuanian Jews who had fled to the Rand from persecution at home were ready to cheer the Russian Revolution. As Europe began to experience these seismic shifts, so Johannesburg sought to make itself, as a new city on the world scene, part of an international chorus of applause for Shakespeare. The Johannesburg Tercentenary had three main branch…
Robert Persons’s Precarious Correspondence
The Jesuit mission to England during the reign of Elizabeth depended a great deal on written correspondence with Rome and other missionaries “in the field.” As the superior of the mission, Robert Persons wrote frequently and sometimes voluminously to his colleagues and associates, as well as to interested lay people and political figures. This article considers the effect of the urgency and the unpredictability of his correspondence. He was often…

An Apology for Donne's Pseudo-Martyr
This article interprets John Donne's Pseudo-Martyr in the context of the polemical strategies of the controversy over the new Oath of Allegiance following the Gunpowder plot, drawing on recent findings on his professional career as lawyer and preacher. In view of his private views on the Oath (as expressed in a letter to Sir Henry Goodyer) and his minimal reference to Robert Persons, the chief English Jesuit adversary, I argue that the work is ne…

Romeo and Juliet
The Lord Treasurer and the Jesuit
In October 1591 an English royal proclamation, probably drafted by Lord Burghley, denounced seditious Jesuits and seminary priests in the most intemperate language. This article analyzes the Roman Catholic response, paying special attention to the rhetorical strategies employed by the Jesuit leader-in-exile, Robert Person. His so-called Philopater (1592) developed a coherent satirical critique of the religious policy of Burghley and his fellow Pr…
