Unsettled Toleration: Religious Difference on the Shakespearean
Stage historicizes and scrutinizes the unstable concept of
toleration as it emerges in drama performed on the Elizabethan and
Jacobean stages. Brian Walsh examines plays by Shakespeare and his
contemporaries that represent intra-Christian conflict between
mainstream believers and various minorities, analyzing the
sometimes explicit, sometimes indirect, occasionally smooth, but
more often halting and equivocal forms of dealing with difference
that these plays imagine can result from such exchanges. Through
innovative and in some cases unprecedented readings of a diverse
collection of plays, from Chapman's An Humorous Day's Mirth,
Middleton's The Puritan Widow, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Measure
for Measure, and Pericles, and Rowley's When You See Me You Know
Me, Walsh shows how the English stage in the first decade of the
seventeenth century, as a social barometer, registered the basic
condition of religious "unsettlement " of the post-Reformation era;
and concurrently that the stage, as a social incubator, brooded
over imagined scenarios of confessional conflict that could end
variously in irresolution, accommodation, or even religious
syncretism. It thus helped to create, sustain and enlarge an
open-ended public conversation on the vicissitudes of getting along
in a sectarian world. Attending to this conversation is vital to
our present understanding of the state of religious toleration the
early modern period, for it gives a fuller picture of the ways
religious difference was experienced than the limited and inert
pronouncements on the topic that officials of the church and state
offered.
