The Idolatrous Eye: Iconoclasm and Theater in Early Modern England
O'Connell, Michael (Professor of English, Professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara)
Michael O'Connell shows that Reformation culture was preoccupied with idolatry and that the theatre was attacked as idolatrous. This anti-theatricalism targeted the traditional mystery plays. The text aims to explain what this meant for the secular theatre that followed.
