“Manning’s work merits attention from scholars at all levels of study interested in the Society of Jesus in Spain. For those new to the field, it includes a glossary of commonly used terms and applicable English equivalents, as well as a comprehensive bibliography. Her panoramic view of Jesuit activity across multiple social sectors is sure to appeal to experts in the discipline as well since she attends to major events and personages while illuminating the Jesuits’ presence in the popular imagination throughout the essay.” Brandan Grayson, Anderson University.
