In the 19th century, the Roman Catholic Church observed books from England with a strict eye. The Church of England, which Henry VIII had detached from Rome, was finally considered heretical. Elizabeth-Marie Richter takes an exemplary look at four works of English literature with which the Index Congregation and the Holy Office were concerned: Laurence Sterne’s “A Sentimental Journey”, Lady Sydney Morgan’s “Italy”, Mary Martha Sherwood’s “Little Henry and His Bearer” and Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Poetical Works”.
