Description

The Materiality of Religion in Early Modern English Drama is the first comprehensive examination of how early modern theatrical properties reflected post-Reformation religious practice. This scholarly work explores the paradox at the heart of English Protestant reform: whilst reformers sought to eliminate Catholic material worship, theatre companies strategically employed stage properties to highlight remnants of traditional religion and the continued importance of material objects in reformed worship. By analysing the relationship between popular culture and religious material practice, this book reveals how early modern drama engaged audiences with complex theological questions through tangible, visible elements on stage. Essential reading for scholars of performance history, religious studies, and early modern literature seeking to understand how theatre companies navigated religious change whilst maintaining audience engagement through the power of physical objects and ceremonial practices.

Key Features

Routledge academic study offering the first detailed analysis of theatrical properties in post-Reformation English drama.

Examines how stage properties functioned as sites of religious meaning during England's transition from Catholic to Protestant practice.

Explores the tension between Protestant reform ideology and the persistent materiality of worship as represented in early modern theatre.

Connects performance history with religious studies to illuminate how drama negotiated theological complexity through visual and physical means.

Essential resource for scholars in early modern drama, performance studies, and the history of English Protestantism.
