The Church And The Stage (1886) - William Henry Hudson - Bog

The Church And The Stage is a book written by William Henry Hudson and first published in 1886. The book is a critical analysis of the relationship between the church and the stage in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. Hudson examines the conflict between the church and the theatre, a conflict that was fueled by the Puritan movement and the rise of religious conservatism. He explores the various ways in which the church sought to suppress and control the theatre, including censorship and the enforcement of strict moral standards. Hudson also looks at the ways in which the theatre responded to these challenges, including the development of new genres and the use of satire and parody to critique the church. The book is a fascinating exploration of the complex and often contentious relationship between these two important cultural institutions, and provides valuable insights into the history of both the church and the theatre in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
