This book examines the relationship between literature and
religious conflict in seventeenth-century England, showing how
literary texts grew out of and addressed the contemporary
controversy over ceremonial worship. Examining the meaning and
function of religion in seventeenth-century England, the book shows
that the conflicts over religious ceremony which were central to
the English Revolution had broad cultural significance; they
involved not only conflicting attitudes towards art and the body,
but a clash between different ways of constructing social
relations, human identity, and the relation of the Protestant
present to the Jewish, pagan and Catholic past. Achsah Guibbory's
readings of Herbert, Herrick, Browne, Donne and Milton explain how
their writings show what was at stake in the conflict over
ceremonial worship, and how different ideas of community turned on
that conflict.
