(Rethinking the Early Modern)
by Katherine Steele Brokaw, Jason Zysk, Sarah Beckwith, Kent Cartwright, Brian Cummings, Margreta De Grazia, Tobias Doring, Helga Duncan, Angela Heetderks, Robert Hornback, Jeanne Mccarthy, Jennifer R. Rust, E. Maggie Solberg, William West, Rachael Deagman, Rachel Deagman

ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-4051-6, ISBN: 0-8101-4051-9

"The term “secular” inspires thinking about disenchantment, periodization, modernity, and subjectivity. The essays in Sacred and Secular Transactions in the Age of Shakespeare argue that Shakespeare’s plays present “secularization” not only as a historical narrative of progress but also as a hermeneutic process that unleashes complex and often problematic transactions between sacred and secular. These transactions shape ideas about every ..."

Paperback, 248 Pages, Published 2012 by Cornell University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8014-7835-2, ISBN: 0-8014-7835-9

"Shakespeare lived at a time when England was undergoing the revolution in ritual theory and practice we know as the English Reformation. With it came an unprecedented transformation in the language of religious life. Whereas priests had once acted as mediators between God and men through sacramental rites, Reformed theology declared the priesthood of all believers. What ensued was not the tidy replacement of one doctrine by another but ..."

Paperback, 312 Pages, Published 2003 by University Of Chicago Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-226-04133-9, ISBN: 0-226-04133-6

"In "Signifying God" Sarah Beckwith explores the most lavish, long-lasting, and complex form of collective theatrical enterprise in English history: the York Corpus Christi plays. First staged as early as 1376, the plays were performed annually until the late 1500s and involved as much as a tenth of the city in multiple performances at a dozen or more locations. Introducing a radical new understanding of these plays as "sacramental theat ..."

"This was a deliberate ambiguity that Arcand and the director of photography, Guy Dufaux, wished to exploit: “La caméra s'ap- proche des personnages et les montres comme on ne peut pas les voir pendant une représentation théâtrale.”19 In exploring its central metaphor of actor as Christ, church as theater,the film begins with a death that is not one.In a stark beginning— with no signs of staging —we hear Smerdiakov and Karamazov in a ..."

Paperback, 216 Pages, Published 1996 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-0-415-14426-1, ISBN: 0-415-14426-4

"At the very heart of Christian doctrine and late medieval practice was the image of the crucified Christ. Sarah Beckwith examines the social meaning of this image across a range of key devotional English texts, using insights from anthropology and cultural studies. The image of the crucified Christ, she argues, acted as a place where the tensions between the sacred and the profane, the individual and the collective, were played out. The ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-134-76153-1, ISBN: 1-134-76153-8

"Adaptation does not allow perfect encoding of achromatic contrast. At low luminances local apparent contrasts (brightness contrasts) depart significantly from Weber's law, and lightnesses are slightly affected (Arend, 1993b). It is possible that chromatic adaptation also serves accurate encoding of image contrasts by chromatic mechanisms, and that departures from Weber's law affect chromatic appearance in a manner analogous to the ..."
