Examining the complex and painful shift from late medieval religious culture to a society dominated by the ideas of the Reformers, Adrian Streete presents a fresh understanding of Reformed theology and the representation of early modern subjectivity. Through close analysis of major thinkers such as Augustine, William of Ockham, Erasmus, Luther and Calvin, the book argues for the profoundly Christological focus of Reformed theology and explores how this manifests itself in early modern drama. Moving beyond questions of authorial ‘belief’, Streete assesses Elizabethan and Jacobean drama’s engagement with the challenges ofthe Reformation.  \nAdriAn Streete is Lecturer in English at Queen’s University, Belfast. His research focuses on Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, poetry and prose, and his previous publications include Re-Figuring Mimesis: Representation in Early Modern Literature (co-editor, with Jonathan Holmes, 2005) and articles in journals such as the Review of English Studies, Textual Practice, Shakespeare and Literature and History.  \nPROtEStAntiSM And dRAMA in EARLy MOdERn EngLAnd  \nAdRiAn StREEtE  \nCAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS  \nCambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, São Paulo, Delhi, Dubai, Tokyo  \nCambridge University Press  \nThe Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 8RU, UK  \nPublished in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York  \n[www.cambridge.org](www.cambridge.org)  \nInformation on this [title: www.cambridge.org/9780521760171](title: www.cambridge.org/9780521760171)[ ](title: www.cambridge.org/9780521760171)© Adrian Streete 2009  \nThis publication is in copyright.
