This bold and wide-ranging study takes a fresh look at a
controversial question: what do the acts and shows of grief
performed in early modern drama tell us about the religious culture
of the world in which they were historically staged? Many rites of
mourning shown in the theatre held Catholic resonances, but how did
such memories of traditional worship work in post-Reformation
England? Drawing on performance studies, this book provides
detailed readings of major playtexts, Shakespearean and others, to
explore the politics, pathologies, physiologies and parodies of
mourning.
