Download or read book Divinity and State written by David Womersley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1589 the Privy Council encouraged the Archbishop of Canterbury to take steps to control the theatres, which had offended authority by putting on plays which addressed 'certen matters of Divinytie and of State unfitt to be suffred'. How had questions of divinity and state become entangled? The Reformation had invested the English Crown with supremacy over the Church, and religious belief had thus been transformed into a political statement. In the plentiful chronicle literature of the sixteenth-century, questions of monarchical legitimacy and religious orthodoxy became intertwined as a consequence of that demand for a usable national past created by the high political developments of the 1530s. Divinity and State explores the consequences of these events in the English historiography and historical drama of the sixteenth century. It is divided into four parts. In the first, the impact of reformed religion on narratives of the national past is measured and described. Part II examines how the entanglement of the national past and reformed religion was reflected in historical drama from Bale to the early years of James I, and focuses on two paradigmatic characters: the sanctified monarch and the martyred subject. Part III considers Shakespeare's history plays in the light of the preceding discussion, and finds that Shakespeare's career as a historical dramatist shows him eventually re-shaping the history play with great audacity. Part IV corroborates this reading of Shakespeare's later history plays by reference to the dramatic ripostes they provoked.
Download or read book Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age written by Michael Warner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÒWhat does it mean to say that we live in a secular age?Ó This apparently simple question opens into the massive, provocative, and complex A Secular Age, where Charles Taylor positions secularism as a defining feature of the modern world, not the mere absence of religion, and casts light on the experience of transcendence that scientistic explanations of the world tend to neglect. In Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age, a prominent and varied group of scholars chart the conversations in which A Secular Age intervenes and address wider questions of secularism and secularity. The distinguished contributors include Robert Bellah, Jos Casanova, Nilfer Gle, William E. Connolly, Wendy Brown, Simon During, Colin Jager, Jon Butler, Jonathan Sheehan, Akeel Bilgrami, John Milbank, and Saba Mahmood. Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age succeeds in conveying to readers the complexity of secularism while serving as an invaluable guide to a landmark book.

Download or read book The English Ars Moriendi written by David William Atkinson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a period when death was an ever-present reality, the tradition of the ars moriendi provided instructions on how one must prepare for God's inevitable judgement. While examples of the tradition are found in virtually every European language, the ars moriendi in English comprises a strikingly rich corpus of literature that provides remarkable insight into the religious concerns of those living between the fifteenth century and the end of the seventeenth. This book collects together for the first time representative texts from the traditon of the English ars moriendi, chosen because they reflect the religious and literary developments of the period. Each work is thoroughly annotated, and the book contains a comprehensive introductory essay that focuses on the particular importance to the tradition of each work included in the collection.
