This volume asks, how did theatrical practice shape the multiplying
forms of conversion that emerged in early modern Europe? Each
chapter focuses on a specific city or selection of cities,
beginning with Venice, then moving to London, Mexico City,
Tlaxcalla, Seville, Madrid, Amsterdam, Zurich, Berne, and Lucerne
(among others). Collectively, these studies establish a picture of
early modernity as an age teeming with both excitement and anxiety
over conversional activity. In addition to considering the
commercial theater that produced professional dramatists such as
Lope de Vega and Thomas Middleton, the volume surveys a wide
variety of kinds of theatre that brought theatricality into
formative relationship with conversional practice. Examples range
from civic pageantry in Piazza San Marco, to mechanical statues in
Amsterdam's pleasure labyrinths, to the dramatic dialogues
performed by students of rhetoric in colonial Mexico. As a whole,
the volume addresses issues of conversion as it pertains to early
modern theatre, literature, theology, philosophy, economics, urban
culture, globalism, colonialism, trade, and cross-cultural
exchange.
