I'm interested in the relationship between preachers and players in early modern England, 1575-1640. How did London actors conceive of their social roles, personal lives, and religious convictions as they found themselves under attack by the church for their deviant professional proclivities?
Using historical and intertextual analyses of literary, visual, and other primary sources, my dissertation demonstrates that church and theatre were competing kinds of performance in early modern England. Accounting for the ways in which preachers and players embodied their ideologies—while in the pulpit or on stage—further illuminates the historical relationship between church and theatre in the post-Reformation era.
Supervisors: Christopher Ocker, Rossitza Schroeder, William B. Worthen, and Devin Zuber
