Shadowplay : The Hidden Beliefs And Coded Politics Of William Shakespeare

Attribution
Clare Asquith
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, PublicAffairs, 2005
Description
A revelatory new look at how Shakespeare secretly addressed the most profound political issues of his day, and how his plays embody a hidden history of England In 16th century England many loyal subjects to the crown were asked to make a terrible choice: to follow their monarch or their God. Revealing Shakespeare’s sophisticated version of a forgotten code developed by 16th-century dissidents, Clare Asquith shows how he was both a genius for all time and utterly a creature of his own era: a writer who was supported by dissident Catholic aristocrats, who agonized about the fate of England’s spiritual and political life and who used the stage to attack and expose a regime which he believed had seized illegal control of the country he loved.

Mary Magdalene And The Drama Of Saints : Theater, Gender, And Religion In Late Medieval England

Attribution
Theresa Coletti
Publication Details
Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004
Description
Looking to East Anglian texts including the N-Town Plays, The Book of Margery Kempe, The Revelations of Julian of Norwich, and Bokenham’s Legend of Holy Women, Theresa Coletti explores how the gendered symbol of Mary Magdalene mediates tensions between masculine and feminine spiritual power, institutional and individual modes of religious expression, and authorized and unauthorized forms of revelation and sacred speech. In bringing the disciplinary perspectives of literary history and criticism, gender studies, and social and religious history to bear on specific local instances of dramatic practice, Mary Magdalene and the Drama of Saints highlights the relevance of Middle English dramatic discourse to the dynamic religious climate of late medieval England.
