What is Apocalypse and anti-Catholicism in seventeenth-century English drama about?

This Book Examines The Many And Varied Uses Of Apocalyptic And Anti-catholic Language In Seventeenth-century English Drama. Adrian Streete Argues That This Rhetoric Is Not Simply An Expression Of Religious Bigotry, Nor Is It Only Deployed At Moments Of Political Crisis. Rather, It Is An Adaptable And Flexible Language With National And International Implications. It Offers A Measure Of Cohesion And Order In A Volatile Century. By Rethinking The Relationship Between Theatre, Theology And Polemic, Streete Shows How Playwrights Exploited These Connections For A Diverse Range Of Political Ends. Chapters Focus On Playwrights Like Marston, Middleton, Massinger, Shirley, Dryden And Lee, And On A Range Of Topics Including Imperialism, Reason Of State, Commerce, Prostitution, Resistance, Prophecy, Church Reform And Liberty. Drawing On Important Recent Work In Religious And Political History, This Is A Major Re-interpretation Of How And Why Religious Ideas Are Debated In The Early Modern Theatre. Adrian Streete, University Of Glasgow. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
