Doth not this artful Saxon Hold the great seal Of England in his clutches Ride with the king, dice, drink, and dine with him Why not, when he who wears the diadem Of Norman William takes the cast-off wife Of Louis, king Of France, and makes her mistress Of the same bed where William's holy queen In travail brought forth princes to this realm 7 Why not, when every palace in the kingdom Haunted by ghosts Of his dread predecessors When Winchester and Woodstock, Westminster Are playhouses, where Circe keeps her court, As hell or Aquitaine had come to London york. Dares the justiciary to mock the king? Glan. I do not mock the king. Could I but see This leprosy, which we do call the queen, Touched by the healing hand Of penitence, My Lord Archbishop, gladly I'd give up The keys Of Henry's treasury and his mace.

Download or read book Censorship and the Representation of the Sacred in Nineteenth Century England written by Jan-Melissa Schramm and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the nineteenth century, the performance of sacred drama on the English public stage was prohibited by law and custom left over from the Reformation: successive Examiners of Plays, under the control of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, censored and suppressed both devotional and blasphemous plays alike. Whilst the Biblical sublime found expression in the visual arts, the epic, and the oratorio, nineteenth-century spoken drama remained secular by force of precedent and law. The maintenance of this ban was underpinned by Protestant anxieties about bodily performance, impersonation, and the power of the image that persisted long after the Reformation, and that were in fact bolstered by the return of Catholicism to public prominence after the passage of the Catholic Relief Act in 1829 and the restoration of the Catholic Archbishoprics in 1850. But even as anti-Catholic prejudice at mid-century reached new heights, the turn towards medievalism in the visual arts, antiquarianism in literary history, and the 'popular' in constitutional reform placed England's pre- Reformation past at the centre of debates about the uses of the public stage and the functions of a truly national drama. This book explores the recovery of the texts of the extant mystery-play cycles undertaken by antiquarians in the early nineteenth century and the eventual return of sacred drama to English public theatres at the start of the twentieth century. Consequently, law, literature, politics, and theatre history are brought into conversation with one another in order to illuminate the history of sacred drama and Protestant ant-theatricalism in England in the long nineteenth-century.
