AB From the sixteenth century onwards, anti-Catholicism was at the heart of the tensionsbetween Spain and England. With the foundation of the Company of Jesus in 1534,anti-Catholic criticism focused on the Jesuits since they were the main representativesof Catholicism. The following dissertation assesses how James Wadsworth contributedto anti-Catholicism with his pamphlet The English Spanish Pilgrime, or, A NewDiscoverie of Spanish Popery and Jesuitical Stratagems (1629). To achieve thispurpose, it examines the author’s portrayal of the Jesuits in connection with thearguments commonly used by other anti-Catholic authors, and with the vocabulary orexpressions accompanying these arguments. This graduate dissertation proves that it is aJesuitical criticism heaped with negative connotations that influence the reader'sperception about the Jesuits.
