TY - GEN T1 - The Catholicism of literature in the age of the Book of common prayer : poetry, plays, works, 1558-1689 A1 - Rist, Thomas, 1971- LA - English PP - Manchester PB - Manchester University Press YR - 2025 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_on1504564772 AB - "Offering a complete reading of English Literature throughout 1558-1689, this book demonstrates the continuity of Roman Catholicism in English Literature from the accession of Elizabeth I to the deposing of James II. Rist shows that poetry and plays promoted Roman Catholic ideas in a Biblicist age which established the Church of England through the Book of Common Prayer. From the very idea of literary works to chapters on the Eucharist, Purgatory, Christian worship and the Virgin Mary, Rist joins together major and minor authors of the era to present English Literature afresh. Important literary figures include William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton, Queen Henrietta Maria, John Donne, John Dryden, Robert Herrick, Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn" -- CN - PR428.C3 SN - 9781526183293 SN - 1526183293 SN - 9781526183316 SN - 1526183315 SN - 1526183307 SN - 9781526183309 KW - Church of England. : Book of common prayer.
