This book explores the fall of Jerusalem and restores to its
rightful place one of the key explanatory tropes of early modern
English culture. Showing the importance of Jerusalem's destruction
in sermons, ballads, puppet shows and provincial drama of the
period, Beatrice Groves brings a new perspective to works by
canonical authors such as Marlowe, Nashe, Shakespeare, Dekker and
Milton. The volume also offers a historically compelling and
wide-ranging account of major shifts in cultural attitudes towards
Judaism by situating texts in their wider cultural and theological
context. Groves examines the continuities and differences between
medieval and early modern theatre, London as an imagined community
and the way that narratives about Jerusalem and Judaism informed
notions of English identity in the wake of the Reformation.
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this volume will interest
researchers and upper-level students of early modern literature,
religious studies and theatre.
