Whether situated in churches or circulating in more flexible,
mobile works - manuscript or printed texts, jewels or rosaries,
personal bequests or antique 'rarities' - monuments were ubiquitous
in post-Reformation England. In this period of religious change,
the unsettled meanings of sacred sites and artifacts encouraged a
new conception of remembrance and, with it, changed relationships
between devotional and secular writings, arts, and identities.
Beginning in the parish church, Shaping Remembrance from
Shakespeare to Milton moves beyond that space to see remembrance as
shaping dynamic systems within which early modern men and women
experienced loss and recollection. Removing monuments from
parochial or antiquarian concerns, this study re-imagines them as
pervasively involved with other commemorative works, not least the
writings of our most canonical authors. These far-reaching,
flexible chapters combine three critical strands - religion,
materiality, and gender - to describe the arts of remembrance as
material and textual remains of living webs of connection in which
creators and creations are mutually involved.
