Description: "In English and Catholic, John D. Krugler traces the development of the 'Maryland Designe', the novel solution the Calverts devised to resolve the conflict of loyalty they faced as English Catholics. In doing so, Krugler places the founding and early history of Maryland in the context of pervasive anxieties in England - and the New World - over identity, allegiance, and conscience." "Krugler ties together three main elements of George Calvert's career: his nationalism and enthusiasm for English imperialism; his aim to find fortune and fame; and his deepening sense of himself as a Catholic. The story of the Calverts' bold experiment in advancing freedom of conscience supplies an early chapter in the story of American liberty."--BOOK JACKET.
