Iconoclasm vs. Art and Drama

by Clifford Davidson (Editor), Ann Eljenholm Nichols (Editor)

Overview

The radical Protestantism that led to the suppression of religious drama in England also by the early years of Queen Elizabeth I destroyed perhaps the majority of ecclesiastical art in the country. The essays in this book provide analysis of the intellectual and religious motivation as well as new historical information concerning this phase of iconoclasm.
