Early modern England was a nation alive with intense religious
debate, with often violent results. Central to these debates were
questions of prayer, questions powerful enough to splinter the
English church and to fuel a ferocious civil war. This collection
of thirteen newly commissioned essays traces the controversy and
value given to the performance of prayer, through the body, the
spoken word and written text, as well as its representation on
stage. Through close readings of the works of Christopher Marlowe,
William Shakespeare, John Donne, John Milton and Henry Vaughan
amongst others, this book examines the performative aspects of
prayer in a range of literary modes. This broad range of study is
expanded further with chapters focussing on the private religious
diaries of men and women throughout the seventeenth century, and
the convergence of music and prayer in the work of William Byrd.
