Zusatztext The title of Brian Walshs book, Unsettled Toleration, seems especially resonant in the context of contemporary anxieties about religious difference. Focusing on an intra-Christian conflict between dominant and minority believers, Walshs thesis re-engages with the relationships between faiths in early modern drama ... Walsh analyses the instrumental role that the theatre played to create, enlarge, and sustain an openended public conversation on the vicissitudes of getting along in a sectarian world. Walshs argument is not that Shakespeares theatre produced liberal versions of religious pluralism but rather that the stage hatched imagined scenarios of confessional conflict. Informationen zum Autor Brian Walsh has taught at Rutgers, the University of Illinois, and Yale University. He is the author of Shakespeare, The Queen's Men, and The Elizabethan Performance of History (Cambridge University Press, 2009) as well as several articles and book chapters on Elizabethan and Jacobean drama.
