Description



Book Synopsis



Early modern drama is steeped in biblical language, imagery and stories. This collection examines the pervasive presence of scripture on the early modern stage. Exploring plays by writers such as Shakespeare, Marlowe, Middleton, and Webster, the contributors show how theatre offers a site of public and communal engagement with the Bible.



Review Quotes




"This confident and seductive collection of essays is alive with a sense of the transformative power of performance. By inviting us to think about the Bible as stage property, philosophical concept, and as linguistic intervention, it establishes a bold new scholarly landscape for understanding early modern material, spiritual, and theatrical cultures." Julie Sanders, University of Nottingham, UK

"At a time when it is fashionable to write and read religion out of, or at least minimize its impact on, the culture of earlier epochs, this study stands as a useful corrective, reminding us of the Bible's elevated position in early modern literature and drama,

and its capacity to navigate between the two." Philip Major, Modern Language Review
