Crockett, Bryan The Play of Paradox: Stage and Sermon in Renaissance England
Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania P December 1995 0-8122-3316-6 / 9780812233162 1st Edition Hardcover Near Fine/Near Fine
A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper, not price clipped, an ex-lib or any markings throughout. The Play of Paradox: Stage and Sermon in Renaissance England is a wide-ranging investigation of Tudor/Stuart drama, Reformation preaching, and the relations between the two. The cross-fertilization between the two kinds of performance engendered among audiences a ready receptivity to the rhetorical use of paradox. The two modes similarly capitalized on characteristic Renaissance syntheses of magic, drama, and religion to develop strategies for negotiating state control. In chapters that set comedies and tragedies by Shakespeare, Jonson, Webster, and others side by side with sermons by Hooker, Andrewes, Donne, and popular preachers whose works have not been reprinted since the early seventeenth century, Bryan Crockett argues that stage and pulpit performances elicited similar responses to the political and theological divisions marked by the incessant polemics of the age.
