Central to these debates were questions of prayer, questions powerful enough to splinter the English church and to fuel a ferocious civil war. This collection of thirteen newly commissioned essays traces the controversy and value given to the performance of prayer, through the body, the spoken word and written text, as well as its representation on stage. Through close readings of the works of Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, John Donne, John Milton and Henry Vaughan amongst others, this book examines the performative aspects of prayer in a range of literary modes. This broad range of study is expanded further with chapters focussing on the private religious diaries of men and women throughout the seventeenth century, and the convergence of music and prayer in the work of William Byrd. 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Religion and culture $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Religion and culture $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Prayer $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Prayer $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Religion in literature. 650 0 $a Reformation $z England. 650 7 $a English literature $x Early modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 $a Prayer. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074680 650 7 $a Reformation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092555 650 7 $a Religion and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093823 650 7 $a Religion and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093839 650 7 $a Religion in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01732559 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a 1500-1700 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Sterrett, Joseph, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108572392 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191121012700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D41A39A462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
