This biography of Saint Edmund Campion, written by the acclaimed novelist Evelyn Waugh, offers a vivid and insightful portrayal of the life and martyrdom of one of the most celebrated figures of the English Reformation. Campion, a Jesuit priest who returned to England in 1580 to minister to the persecuted Catholic community, was eventually captured, tortured, and executed for his faith. Waugh’s masterful storytelling brings to life the tumultuous religious and political climate of Elizabethan England, and his deep admiration for Campion’s unwavering courage and devotion shines through the pages. This edition, despite its well-loved appearance, remains an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and readers interested in the rich tapestry of English history and the enduring legacy of religious martyrdom.
