Kilroy (English, King Edward's School, Bath, England) discusses the transmission of private handwritten texts related to Campion (1540-81) after his death. He reveals a network that stretched from the Court to Warwickshire and East Anglia and crossed the confessional boundaries of Catholic and Protestant. John Harrington and Thomas Tresham emerge as central figures in the effort to keep Campion's memory alive. Included is the first printed text and translation of his Virgilian epic Why Doe I Use My Paper, Ynke and Pen. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
