Old St Paul's and Culture is an interdisciplinary collection of
essays that looks predominantly at the culture of Old St Paul's and
its wider precinct in the early modern period, while also providing
important insights into the Cathedral's medieval institution. The
chapters examine the symbolic role of the site in England's
Christian history, the London book trade based in and around St
Paul's, the place of St Paul's commercial indoor playhouse within
the performance culture of sixteenth and seventeenth-century
London, and the intersection of religion and politics through
events such as civic ceremonies and occasional sermons. Through the
organising theme of culture, the authors demonstrate how the site,
as well as the people and trades occupying the precinct, can be
positioned within wider fields of representations, practices, and
social networks. A focus on St Paul's is therefore about more than
just the specific site on Ludgate Hill: it is about those practices
and representations connected to it, which either extended beyond
or originated in places other than the Cathedral environs. This
points to the range of localised, regional, national, and
transnational relationships in which the precinct and its people
were situated and to which they contributed.
