Download or read book A Will to Believe written by David Scott Kastan and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 19 December 1601, John Croke, then Speaker of the House of Commons, addressed his colleagues: "If a question should be asked, What is the first and chief thing in a Commonwealth to be regarded? I should say, religion. If, What is the second? I should say, religion. If, What the third? I should still say, religion." But if religion was recognized as the "chief thing in a Commonwealth," we have been less certain what it does in Shakespeare's plays. Written and performed in a culture in which religion was indeed inescapable, the plays have usually been seen either as evidence of Shakespeare's own disinterested secularism or, more recently, as coded signposts to his own sectarian commitments. Based upon the inaugural series of the Oxford-Wells Shakespeare Lectures in 2008, A Will to Believe offers a thoughtful, surprising, and often moving consideration of how religion actually functions in them: not as keys to Shakespeare's own faith but as remarkably sensitive registers of the various ways in which religion charged the world in which he lived. The book shows what we know and can't know about Shakespeare's own beliefs, and demonstrates, in a series of wonderfully alert and agile readings, how the often fraught and vertiginous religious environment of Post-Reformation England gets refracted by the lens of Shakespeare's imagination.

The volume conveys a vivid picture of how politics, religion, popular culture, the world of work and social practices fit together in an exciting world of change, and will be invaluable reading for all students and scholars of the Elizabethan period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the varying attitudes toward the English crown and the order of English society were central to the differences between the loyalists and the militants, disagreements involved many questions other than political ones, including the role of the Jesuits in the English mission and the nature of church government. This first work to concentrate on the Elizabethan Catholic church relates party thought to the quarrels with the Catholic community during Elizabeth's reign. Originally published in 1979.

Download or read book Religion and Society in Elizabethan Sussex written by Roger Burrow Manning and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1969 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The success or failure of a legislative programme ultimately depends upon the personnel and institutions of local government. This book is a study of the agents who exercised the powers of the royal supremacy in ecclesiastical affairs and of the institutions--civil and ecclesiastical--which were employed in the enforcement of the Elizabethan religious settlement in one particular county. Taking Sussex as a microcosm of Elizabethan society, the role of the bishop of Chichester and their episcopal courts, the lords lieutenant and the justices of the peace in enforcing the acts of supremacy and uniformity is examined in detail. The chief merit of the book is that it is the only work so far produced that examines all aspects of the enforcement of the religious settlement. Dr Manning has sought to determine just how successful the government of Elizabeth was in imposing religious uniformity and to what extent this was resisted by clerical Puritanism or by Roman Catholic recusancy among the gentry and nobility. This situation is explained in terms not only of religious influence but also of administrative, sociological and economic factors" -Publishers
