Strikingly original and beautifully written....Prayer, Despair,and Drama is an extremely rich, complex study.' John Corrigan,Arizona State University WestPrayer, Despair, and Drama explores the godly sorrow and piousdisease, or lack of ease, of Elizabethan Calvinists and finds that whatsome have characterized as an evangelism of fear functioned more as akind of religious therapy.In this major contribution to discussions of the relationship betweenreligion and literature in Elizabethan England, Peter Iver Kaufman arguesthat the soulsearching and selfscourging typical of late Tudor Calvinismwas reflected in the rhetoric of selfloathing then prevalent in sermons,sonnets, and soliloquys. Kaufman shows how this spiritual psychology informsmajor literary texts including Hamlet,The Fairie Queene,Donne's Holy Sonnets, and other works.A volume in the series Studies in Anglican History, edited by PeterW. Williams
