Conclusion --Works Cited --IndexThis study takes a fresh look at the abundant scenarios of disguise in early modern prose fiction and suggests reading them in the light of the contemporary religio-political developments. More specifically, it argues that Elizabethan narratives adopt aspects of the heated Eucharist debate during the Reformation, including officially renounced notions like transubstantiation, to negotiate culturally pressing concerns regarding identity change. Drawing on the rich field of research on the adaptation of pre-Reformation concerns in Anglican England, the book traces a cross-fertilisation between the Reformation and the literary mode of romance. The study brings together topics which are currently being strongly debated in early modern studies: the turn to religion, a renewed interest in aesthetics, and a growing engagement with prose fiction. Narratives which are discussed in detail are William Baldwin's Beware the Cat, Robert Greene's Pandosto and Menaphon, Philip Sidney's Old and New Arcadia, and Thomas Lodge's Rosalynd and A Margarite of America, George Gascoigne's Steele Glas, John Lyly's Euphues: An Anatomy of Wit and Euphues and his England, Barnabe Riche's Farewell, Greene's A Quip for an Upstart Courtier, and Thomas Nashe's The Unfortunate Traveller.Buchreihe der Anglia ;Volume 44.English fictionEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismDisguise in literatureTransubstantiation in literatureLord's Supper in literatureReformation in literatureElectronic books.English fictionHistory and criticism.Disguise in literature.Transubstantiation in literature.Lord's Supper in literature.Reformation in literature.823/.309HI 1272rvkWald Christina1976-1056653MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459743803321The reformation of romance2491177UNINA
