Reformations of the Body establishes new ties between theology and
theatricality in the time of Shakespeare, juxtaposing original
readings of religious thinkers such as John Calvin with case
studies of influential tragedies such as Doctor Faustus and
Othello. While current accounts of the Reformation often assume
that Protestant iconoclasts devalued sensory experience and bodily
praxis, Jennifer Waldron shows how and why the human body and the
bodily senses retained sacred value after the Reformation. In
readings of scenes of providential revival, bloody pacts with the
devil, and sacrificial rites of revenge, she shows how theological
problems became tightly bound to the living medium of theater
itself.
