L. Underwood 
Childhood, Youth, and Religious Dissent in Post-Reformation England 

This book explores the role of children and young people within early modern England’s Catholic minority. It examines Catholic attempts to capture the next generation, Protestant reactions to these initiatives, and the social, legal and political contexts in which young people formed, maintained and attempted to explain their religious identity.
