About this book
This book examines John Donne’s theory of royal absolutism within a tradition of conformist thought.It argues that Donne displaced the conventional opposition between Catholics and Protestants and instead divided English subjects into two political categories: those who obey the law and those who break it.

Reviews
'Witnessing to the Faith offers a fresh perspective on how Donne studies can move beyond debates about conversion and absolutism by resisting biographical interpretations and paying increased attention to the concerns of Catholics. Altman's case is made in clear prose with abundant use of both primary and secondary source materials, including references to many of Donne's other writings, including poetry, prose letters, and sermons.'
