This volume presents a sampling of the more than 250 papers presented at the Congress of the ISA held at Stratford-upon-Avon in August 1981. Most of the papers are concerned with Shakespeare as a writer for the theater. Other essays deal with Shakespeare as a literary, rather than theatrical, writer. Several of the offerings cover subjects usually neglected, and develop fresh insight into his work.

This work provides the first detailed examination of the bed-trick in English Renaissance drama. Written from a feminist perspective and based on an analysis of over 250 plays, this study places the bed-trick in its historical and theatrical context in order to challenge widely held assumptions about its theatrical history and use on the stage.

This book studies the interplay of theology and poetics in the three great epics of early-modern England: the Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained. Bond examines the relationship between the poems' primary heroes, Arthur and the Son, who are godlike, virtuous, and powerful, and the secondary heroes, Redcrosse and Adam, who are human, fallible, and weak. He looks back at the development of this pattern of dual heroism in classical, Medieval, and Italian Renaissance literature, investigates the ways in which Spenser and Milton adapted the model, and demonstrates how the Jesus of Paradise Regained can be seen as the culmination of this tradition. Challenging the opposition between "Calvinist," "allegorical" Spenser and "Arminian," "dramatic" Milton, this book offers a new account of their doctrinal and literary affinities within the European epic tradition. Arguing that Spenser influenced Milton in fundamental ways, Bond establishes a firmer structural and thematic link between the two authors, and shows how they transformed a strongly antifeminist genre by the addition of a crucial, although at times ambivalent, heroine. He also proposes solutions to some of the most difficult and controversial theological cruxes posed by these poems, in particular Spenser's attitude to free will and Milton's to the Trinity. By providing a deeper understanding of the religious agendas of these epics, this book encourages a rapprochement between scholarly approaches that are too narrowly concerned with either theology or poetics.

Picturing Religious Experience: George Herbert, Calvin, and the Scriptures

Little has been said about the relationship of Herbert’s writings to those of John Calvin, yet the latter were abundant and influential in Herbert’s Church of England. Accordingly Picturing Religious Experience studies Herbert’s poetry in relation to those writings, particularly regarding “spiritual conflicts,” which the poet himself said would be found depicted in his book of poems. Much more than is generally realized, Calvin wrote about the experience of living the Christian life – also Herbert’s subject in many of his poems. Altogether, this study maintains that Herbert owes to his religious orientation not just themes or details, but an impulse to observe and depict the inner life, and scriptural patterns which significantly contribute to the substance and literary excellence of The Temple.

Doerksen, Daniel W.

<i>The Rape Case</i> chronicles one lawyer's seven-year struggle to ensure that long-delayed justice was not permanently denied. This true story details the sensational events of a fall night in 1947 that shocked the sleepy city of Wilmington, Delaware, and left three young men fighting for their lives in a lurid, highly publicized trial. Found guilty, the men languished in jail. Their hope for freedom faded slowly over the years, until a young attorney named Irving Morris took up their case. The sole champion of an infamous and unpopular cause, Morris endured derision and numerous courtroom defeats before finally winning his clients their freedom. This engaging, detailed account of the events surrounding Delaware's "trial of the century," written by the man who ultimately saw that justice was done, is a lesson in the courage and character required of those who would ensure fairness and the rule of law.
