Come Rack! Come Rope! is a historical novel by the English priest and writer Robert Hugh Benson. Set in Derbyshire at the time of the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics, the inspiration for the story comes from Dom Bede Camm's account of the recusant Fitzherbert family in Forgotten Shrines. The title of the book is taken from a letter of Saint Edmund Campion in which, after torture, he assured Catholics that he had revealed "no things of secret, nor would he, come rack, come rope." Most of the characters in the book are historical people; only the hero and heroine, their parents, and some minor characters are fictional."Come Rack! Come Rope!" is an inspiring portrayal of Catholic life in Elizabethan England.

Set in Derbyshire at the time of the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics, when being or harbouring a priest was considered treason and was punishable with death, it tells the story of two young lovers who give up their chance of happiness together, choosing instead to face imprisonment and martyrdom, so that God's will may be done.PLOT/PARTI./ Robin Audrey and Marjorie Manners, both aged seventeen, are secretly engaged. They both come from recusant Catholic families in Derbyshire, but she is the more devout of the two. Robin's mother died when he was about seven, and his father has continued to practise the Catholic faith, despite having to pay heavy fines for refusing to attend services in the established Church of England. The two families meet several times a year, when Mass is being secretly offered by a priest.The story begins when Robin visits his fiancée and tells her that his father has announced that he can no longer tolerate the persecution and fines, that he will take the bread and wine in the Anglican church at Easter, and that Robin must do the same. Marjorie advises her lover to leave the area for Easter, so that his father will have time to accept that his son will not follow him. She gives him a rosary which belonged to the recently executed priest Cuthbert Mayne, kisses him for the first time, and urges him to trust in God.When he arrives home, Robin finds his friend Anthony Babington waiting for him. Anthony is also a Catholic, fanatically devoted to the imprisoned, Catholic Queen of Scots. Robin tells Anthony of his troubles. Later, the two men are out riding, and pass three other men. One of them, Mr. Garlick, recognises Anthony, having heard Mass in his house, and on being assured that Robin is also a Catholic, introduces the newly ordained Mr. Simpson and his travelling companion Mr. Ludlam to the two friends, telling them that Mr. Simpson will say Mass the following Sunday. Robin realises, as he goes home, that he must not mention this to his father.Robin's troubles at home increase, as he has to cope with his father's anger and sneers. Meanwhile, Marjorie is tormented by unexpected but persistent ideas that perhaps God is calling Robin to the priesthood. She feels that if a love higher than hers is calling, she must not stand in the way, but is unsure whether such thoughts come from God or from her own imagination. She talks to Mr. Simpson, but he is unable to advise her. She is afraid to mention it to Robin, in case she has merely imagined this to be God's will, yet feels she should at least sow a seed in his mind. She prays for guidance, thinking that "a broken heart and God's will done would be better than that God's will should be avoided and her own satisfied...".Robert Hugh Benson AFSC KC*SG KGCHS (18 November 1871 - 19 October 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904.

Robert Hugh Benson (18 November 1871 - 19 October 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904. He was lauded in his own day as one of the leading figures in English literature, having written the notable novel Lord of the World (1907).Benson was the youngest son of Edward White Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury) and his wife, Mary, and the younger brother of Edward Frederic Benson and A. C. Benson. Benson was educated at Eton College and then studied classics and theology at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1890 to 1893. In 1895, Benson was ordained a priest in the Church of England by his father, who was the then Archbishop of Canterbury. After his father died suddenly in 1896, Benson was sent on a trip to the Middle East to recover his own health. While there he began to question the status of the Church of England and to consider the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. His own piety began to tend toward the High Church tradition, and he started exploring religious life in various Anglican communities, eventually obtaining permission to join the Community of the Resurrection. Benson made his profession as a member of the community in 1901, at which time he had no thoughts of leaving the Church of England. As he continued his studies and began writing, however, he became more and more uneasy with his own doctrinal position and, on 11 September 1903, he was received into the Catholic Church. He was awarded the Dignitary of Honour of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Benson was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1904 and sent to Cambridge. He continued his writing career along with his ministry as a priest.Like both his brothers, Edward Frederic Benson ("Fred") and Arthur Christopher Benson, Robert wrote many ghost and horror stories, collected in The Light Invisible (1903) and A Mirror of Shallott (1907). His novel, Lord of the World (1907), is generally regarded as one of the first modern dystopias (see List of dystopian literature). As a young man, Benson recalled, he had rejected the idea of marriage as "quite inconceivable." Benson was appointed a supernumerary private chamberlain to the Pope in 1911 and, consequently, styled as Monsignor

Come Rack! Come Rope! is a dramatic novel set in England during the Elizabethan era; a time in which religion, and the violence which ensued after the Reformation, played a heavy role in everyday life. True to form, Robert Hugh Benson opens the novel in dramatic style. We are introduced to a seventeen year old couple, Robin Audrey and Marjorie Manners, who have become secretly engaged. While both are Catholic, they and their families live in rural Derbyshire at a time when Catholicism has become subject to persecution. We are led to contemplate not merely how the fate of the young couple will transpire, but how the entire community will cope with the animosity born of religious upheavals. Benson's research of the time shines, as certain characters pledge support to the imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots and contemplate how to survive the violent oppression. The darkness of these days is reflected in the title of the book: the rack and rope were a method of torture, which was employed against many priests and openly religious people at the time. It was a common prelude to violent execution, such as being hung, drawn and quartered in public. Such events were intended to discourage Catholics from challenging the new order, and such terrifying, grisly barbarity commonly succeeded in its aims. Yet Robin, who becomes the novel's protagonist, is not cowed to submission by such horrific acts - he sets off to France to study in the priesthood instead. The scene in which he announces his intentions to his father is the novel's first major turning point; we realize that even the mutual romantic affection between he and Marjorie is not enough to dissuade him from following his calling - Marjorie humbly encourages him to pursue his course as set out by God. The intensity of spiritual beliefs, and consequences of defiance, are a recurring theme throughout this novel. Even when the author published this book in 1912, the 16th century persecutions were becoming less mentioned and remembered. Robert Hugh Benson is keen to reflect historical accuracy and minimize his personal outlook - that he, a Catholic priest, constructed a novel that portrays the time in an evenhanded manner, is a noteworthy accomplishment.
