The age of miracles was not yet past on the Shakespearean stage. In this study of the English saint play across the Reformation divide, 'The Renaissance of the Saints after Reform' recovers the surprisingly long theatrical life of the saints from a tenth-century monastery to the Restoration stage. Through a reassessment of archival records of performance and religious change, this book challenges the established history of the saint play as a product of medieval devotional culture that ended with the national conversion to Protestantism during the Reformation.
