Abstract

Abstract:In a controversial attempt to impose order after the Gunpowder Plot, James I sought to require the entire nation to take an Oath of Allegiance confirming his political and religious authority. This essay traces two popular attacks on London's immorality and disunity performed in St. Paul's Cathedral churchyard that respond to the Oath during this period (1606–1609): Thomas Middleton's "city comedy" The Puritan Widow, performed by the choirboy-actors of St. Paul's, and William Crashawe's Paul's Cross sermon Against the Papists and Brownists. Despite Crashawe's famous denunciation of Middleton from the pulpit, I argue that Middleton's iconoclastic play carefully reforms its own satire and concludes with a proposal for a united front between the Puritans and their less zealous coreligionists against Catholics and foreigners that would have been acceptable to a preacher like Crashawe in matter if not in medium.
“清教徒”传教士与清教徒寡妇
摘要:在一次有争议的试图在火药阴谋后实施秩序的尝试中,詹姆斯一世试图要求整个国家宣誓效忠,以确认他的政治和宗教权威。这篇文章追溯了这一时期(1606-1609)在圣保罗大教堂教堂墓地对伦敦不道德和不团结的两次流行攻击:托马斯·米德尔顿的“城市喜剧”《清教徒寡妇》,由圣保罗的唱诗班演员表演,以及威廉·克拉肖的《保罗反对教皇和布朗主义者的十字架布道》。尽管克拉肖在讲坛上对米德尔顿进行了著名的谴责,但我认为米德尔顿的反传统戏剧谨慎地改革了自己的讽刺,并以清教徒和他们反对天主教徒和外国人的不那么热心的宗教信仰者之间建立统一战线的提议结束,如果不是在媒体上,像克拉肖这样的传教士在物质上是可以接受的。
