This study argues that the century after the Reformation saw a
crisis in the way that Europeans expressed their religious
experience. Focusing specifically on how this crisis affected the
drama of England, O'Connell shows that Reformation culture was
preoccupied with idolatry and that the theater was frequently
attacked as idolatrous. This anti-theatricalism notably targeted
the traditional cycles of mystery plays--a type of vernacular,
popular biblical theater that from a modern perspective would seem
ideally suited to advance the Reformation project. The Idolatrous
Eye provides a wide perspective on iconoclasm in the sixteenth
century, and in so doing, helps us to understand why this biblical
theater was found transgressive and what this meant for the secular
theater that followed.
