For this purpose, churches, priests or scholars no less than writers frequently participate in giving sacred figures a local habitation and, sometimes, voice or name. But whatever sites, rites, images or narratives have thus been constructed, they also raise some complex questions: how can the sacred be presented and yet guarded, claimed yet concealed, staged in public and at the same time kept exclusive? Such questions are pursued here in a variety of English texts historically employed to manifest and manage versions of the sacred. But since their performances inhabit social space, this often functions as a theatrical arena which is also used to stage modes of dissent, difference, sacrifice and sacrilege. In this way, all aspects of social life - the family, the nation, the idea of kingship, gender identities, courtly ideals, love making or smoking - may become sacralized and buttress claims for power by recourse to a repertoire of religious symbolic forms. Through critical readings of central texts and authors - such as Sir Gawain, Foxe, Sidney, Shakespeare, Donne, or Vaughan - as well as less canonical examples - the Croxton play, Buchanan, Lanyer, Wroth, or the tobacco pamphlets - the twelve contributions all engage with the crucial question how, and to what end, performances of the sacred affect, or effect, cultural transformation. 410 0$aInternationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;$v86. 606 $aHoly, The 606 $aSacred space$zEngland 615 0$aHoly, The. 615 0$aSacred space 676 $a820.9382 702 $aRupp$b Susanne 702 $aDöring$b Tobias 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777688303321 996 $aPerformances of the Sacred in Late Medieval and Early Modern England$93817721 997 $aUNINA
