David Anderson explores a link between the unstable emotional response of society to religious executions in the Tudor-Stuart period, and the revival of tragic drama as a major cultural form for the first time since classical antiquity. Placing John Foxe at the center of his historical argument, he argues that Foxe's Book of Martyrs exerted a profound effect on the social conscience of English Protestantism in his own time and for the next century. While scholars have in recent years discussed the impact of Foxe and the martyrs on the period's literature, this book is the first to examine how these most vivid symbols of Reformation-era violence influenced the makers of tragedy. As the persecuting and the persecuted churches collided over the martyr's body, Anderson posits, stress fractures ran through the culture and into the playhouse; in their depictions of violence, the early modern tragedians focused on the ethical confrontation between collective power and the individual sufferer. 'Martyrs and Players in Early Modern England' sheds new light on the particular emotional energy of Tudor-Stuart tragedy, and helps explain why the genre reemerged at this time. 650 0 $a English drama $y Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama (Tragedy) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Violence in literature. 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a English drama $x Early modern and Elizabethan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710950 650 7 $a English drama (Tragedy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910801 650 7 $a Violence in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167282 650 7 $a TragoÌdie. $0 (DE-588)4060591-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a FruÌhneuenglisch. $0 (DE-588)4352423-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Gewalt. $0 (DE-588)4113748-6 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Christentum. $0 (DE-588)4201464-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a MaÌrtyrer. $0 (DE-588)4114478-8 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1500 - 1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Studies in performance and early modern drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019012257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D372944AB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
