Correspondence Networks in Early Modern Europe: Jesuits in Action
Lecture/Readings
Before the development of regular modern postal systems (not to mention emails), letter-writing could be a precarious method of communication. There was plenty of opportunity for letters to get lost or intercepted or arrive too late and cause confusion, conflict, or misunderstanding. In the sixteenth century, the Society of Jesus, the largest of the Catholic religious orders, was already a worldwide organization operating in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The global reach of the Society meant that it had to develop an efficient correspondence network, with its central hub in Rome. In this talk, Prof. Houliston will give examples from the exchange of letters between the superior general of the Society, Claudio Acquaviva, and the leader of the English Jesuits during the reign of Elizabeth I, Robert Persons.
