This collection examines the widespread phenomenon of hypocrisy in
literary, theological, political, and social circles in England
during the years after the Reformation and up to the Restoration.
Bringing together current critical work on early modern
subjectivity, performance, print history, and private and public
identities and space, the collection provides readers with a way
into the complexity of the term, by offering an overview of
different forms of hypocrisy, including educational practice,
social transaction, dramatic technique, distorted worship, female
deceit, print controversy, and the performance of demonic
possession. Together these approaches present an interdisciplinary
examination of a term whose meanings have always been assumed, yet
never fully outlined, despite the proliferation of publications on
aspects of hypocrisy such as self-fashioning and disguise.
Questions the chapters collectively pose include: how did
hypocritical discourse conceal concerns relating to social status,
gender roles, religious doctrine, and print culture? How was
hypocrisy manifest materially? How did different literary genres
engage with hypocrisy?
