John Hungerford Pollen (Jesuit)
- John Hungerford Pollen (Jesuit)
John Hungerford Pollen (1858-1925) was an English Jesuit, known as a historian of the Protestant Reformation. [John Vidmar, "English Catholic Historians and the English Reformation, 1585-1954: 1585-1954" (2005) pp. 134-5.]
Life
He was one of the group of Jesuit historians restoring the reputation of Robert Persons. [Victor Houliston, "Catholic Resistance in Elizabethan England: Robert Persons's Jesuit Polemic, 1580-1610" (2007), p. 19.] He was influential in the history of the term "Counter-Reformation", accepting for the Catholic side the appellation for the period of Catholic reform centred on the Council of Trent, but at the same time offering an interpretation that made it less reactive, in relation to the Protestant Reformation. These ideas were out forth in the 1908 "Catholic Encyclopedia" article he wrote on the subject. [ John W. O'Malley, "The Historiography of the Society of Jesus", p. 20, in John W. O'Malley, Gauvin Alexander Bailey, Steve J. Harris, T. Frank Kennedy, "The Jesuits: Cultures, Sciences, and the Arts, 1540-1773" (1999).] [Original at ]
He was a correspondent of Georg Cantor, from 1896. [Christian Tapp, "Kardinalität und Kardinäle: Wissenschaftshistorische Aufarbeitung der Korrespondenz zwischen Georg Cantor und katholischen Theologen seiner Zeit" (2005), p. 478.]
