Title: Southwell the vociferous martyr
Review: In his time, Southwell's writing was as widespread, as famous, as Shakespeare's. It's tragic that his career was so short. He was executed at the age of 33 for refusing to convert from his faith to the king's religion. He was one of the greatest recusanyt writers, & this book offers work from both his prose output & his poetry. This is a very recommendable book to read for 3 reasons:1 -- the historical period it embodies2 -- his writing echoes through other people's even today, one example being eminent avant-garde poet Michael Palmer3 -- it's interesting & enjoyable just for its own sake
