Recusant History is an academic journal dedicated to the study of Catholic history in England and Wales since 1535, currently published twice yearly by the Catholic Record Society.[1][2] The journal began publication in 1951 under the title Biographical Studies of English Catholics,[3] under the editorship of the librarians and bibliographers A. F. Allison (of the British Library) and D. M. Rogers (of the Bodleian Library). With volume 5 (1959) the title was changed to Recusant History, a reference to recusancy as a defining characteristic of early modern English Catholicism and a move away from the more strictly biographical focus of the early issues.
