The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575: Religion, Drama, and the Impact of Change de Jessica Dell

The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575: Religion, Drama, and the Impact of Change: Studies in Performance and Early Modern Drama

Autor Jessica Dell Editat de Helen Ostovich Autor David Klausner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mai 2017
The Chester Cycle in Context, 1555-1575 considers the implications of recent archival research which has profoundly changed our view of the continuation of performances of Chester's civic biblical play cycle into the reign of Elizabeth I. Scholars now view the decline and ultimate abandonment of civic religious drama as the result of a complex network of local pressures, heavily dependent upon individual civic and ecclesiastical authorities, rather than a result of a nation-wide policy of suppression, as had previously been assumed.

Recenzii

’Reading [the essays] from first to last is an enriching experience: its authors all have the most relevant materials at their fingertips (such as the recently discovered letter of Christopher Goodman), and all are equally sensitive to the necessity of understanding the late Chester Whitsun play as a unique artifact enacted within a specific urban, social, and religious context.’ Renaissance Quarterly ’The Chester Cycle in Context breaks new ground in relation to the Chester plays and will reinvigorate research on the cycle. It is also a collection that speaks across early drama studies, encourages cross-period and interdisciplinary enquiry, and highlights drama as central to the religious and political negotiations of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century England.’ Early Theatre

Descriere

Approaching individual plays in the Chester cycle from the point of view of recent and startling research findings, this volume investigates how new sources shift our understanding of the last years of cycle's performance. The essays help to clarify our current perception that it was not a nation-wide policy of suppression, but rather a complex network of local pressures, that affected the decline and eventual abandonment of civic religious drama.
