Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating historical examination of the Elizabethan era's anti-theatrical movement, from around 1579 to 1642. It examines ideological roots, as well as the influence of religious beliefs, morality, and economics on theatre in England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The author, Stephen Gosson, was himself a playwright and poet who later became a vocal critic of the theatre after experiencing a religious conversion. This anti-theatrical stance positioned plays as hotbeds of immorality that preyed on the passions of their working-class audiences and led to societal chaos. It was a complex argument with dangerous potential religious and political consequences. Gosson's views were not unique, and this book provides a rich and detailed overview of the dynamic historical context that made this perspective not only possible, but influential. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330105573_0
