Staging the Superstitions of Early Modern Europe

By Andrew D McCarthy

Engaging with fiction and history- and reading both genres as texts permeated with early modern anxieties, desires and apprehensions- this collection scrutinizes the historical intersection of early modern European superstitions and English stage literature. By highlighting the connection between historical-literary and literary-dramatic culture, this volume tests and explores the current scholarly theory that performance opened the way to disbelief.
