Members of the chambers saw themselves not only as entertainers, but as religious and cultural leaders, and on the strength of this sense of mission became the most influential performers of vernacular drama in the Low Countries. Gary Waite examines the social and religious messages of the plays presented, showing how they promoted or opposed calls for reform, religious and otherwise.Presenting an overview of some eighty surviving scripts from across the Low Countries, Waite considers the culture and drama of two distinct urban communities in particular: Antwerp and Amsterdam. He argues that the dramatists promoted a wide range of reform perspectives, but in so doing they reshaped reform ideas to accommodate their own concerns as urban artisans and merchants. In the end, despite their desire for peace, they contributed significantly to the rise of anticlerical sentiment and reform aspirations and to increasing dissatisfaction with Habsburg rule.Offering perspectives gleaned from primary material that is available only in sixteenth-century Dutch, this study adds significantly to existing scholarship on the local ramifications of the Reformation in the Low Countries. 606 $aChambers of rhetoric$zBenelux countries$xHistory 606 $aDutch drama$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater and society$zBenelux countries$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheater$xReligious aspects 606 $aReformation$zBenelux countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChambers of rhetoric$xHistory. 615 0$aDutch drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater and society$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReformation 676 $a839.3/12209382 700 $aWaite$b Gary K.$f1955-$0864983 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455864703321 996 $aReformers on stage$92475358 997 $aUNINA
