In this book, Paul Whitfield White examines the interplay between
theatre and religion in provincial England from the early Tudors to
1660. In challenging the critical narrative of secularization,
suppression, and demise, he recasts the history of that drama in
the light of fresh sources and scholarship. The project engages
with recent interests in Shakespearean criticism concerning the
theatrical culture of the north of England, where a documented
contemporary touring troupe performed Shakespeare's plays in
Catholic households. Defying the 'medieval/renaissance' divide of
past drama/literature scholarship, the book begins in the early
Tudor period, when parish revels flourished as part of a nationwide
surge in religious fund-raising and charity. It proceeds with the
argument that the history of early modern theatre in provincial
society, as in London, remained vibrant and diverse for popular
audiences in many parts of the country, and that religion
contributed to that vitality and variety.
