Engaging with fiction and history-and reading both genres as texts
permeated with early modern anxieties, desires, and
apprehensions-this collection scrutinizes the historical
intersection of early modern European superstitions and English
stage literature. Contributors analyze the cultural mechanisms that
shape, preserve, and transmit beliefs. They investigate where
superstitions come from and how they are sustained and communicated
within early modern European society. It has been proposed by
scholars that once enacted on stage and thus brought into contact
with the literary-dramatic perspective, belief systems that had
been preserved and reinforced by historical-literary texts
underwent a drastic change. By highlighting the connection between
historical-literary and literary-dramatic culture, this volume
tests and explores the theory that performance of superstitions
opened the way to disbelief.
