In this book, Bonnie Lander Johnson explores early modern ideas of
chastity, demonstrating how crucial early Stuart thinking on
chastity was to political, medical, theological and moral debates,
and that it was also a virtue that governed the construction of
different literary genres. Drawing on a range of materials, from
prose to theatre, theological controversy to legal trials, and
court ceremonies - including royal birthing rituals - Lander
Johnson unearths previously unrecognised opinions about chastity.
She reveals that early Stuart theatrical and court ceremonies were
part of the same political debate as prose pamphlets and religious
sermons. The volume also offers new readings of Milton's Comus,
Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, Henrietta Maria's queenship and
John Ford's plays. It will appeal to scholars of early modern
literature, theatre, political, medical and cultural history, and
gender studies.
