This page intentionally left blank L I T U RG Y A N D L I T E R AT U R E I N T H E M A K I N G O F P ROT E S TA N T E N G L A N D The Book of Common Prayer is one of the most important and influential books in English history, but it has received relatively little attention from literary scholars This study seeks to remedy this by attending to the Prayerbook’s importance in England’s political, intellectual, religious, and literary history The first half of the book presents extensive analyses of the Book of Common Prayer’s involvement in early modern discourses of nationalism and individualism, and argues that the liturgy sought to engage and textually reconcile these potentially competing cultural impulses In its second half, Liturgy and Literature traces these tensions in subsequent works by four major authors – Sidney, Shakespeare, Milton, and Hobbes – and contends that they operate within the dialectical parameters laid out in the Prayerbook decades earlier Central to all these cultural negotiations, both liturgical and literary, is an emphasis on symbolic representation, in which the conflict between collective and individual authority is worked out through complex acts of interpretation Rosendale’s analyses are supplemented by a brief history of the Book of Common Prayer, and by an appendix which discusses its contents t i m ot h y ro s en d a l e is

speaks very obscurely, and however you may try to explain it with candour, you cannot avoid great absurdity “O Sir, the prayers of my mother, the Church of England, no other prayers are equal to them!” (George Herbert) Contents Acknowledgments Note on texts page viii x Introduction prelude/m at t ins: through 1549 25 The Book of Common Prayer and national identity 34 The Book of Common Prayer

along the way This is too bad, because even though it deprives us of our solipsistic fantasies, doing so is an occasion of genuine pleasure; it reminds us of all the people who have more or less willingly involved themselves in our lives I’ll begin with my institutional debts My graduate studies at Northwestern were assisted by any number of fellowships, and the John P Long Prize for graduate research, which enabled a summer of blissful immersion in the British Library, Lambeth Palace Library, the old PRO, and the Parker Library at Cambridge My department and college at SMU have been even more generous, and in particular the University Research Council has enabled productive leave and summer work on this project Also important to the progress of this book has been the publication of parts of it in progress Parts of Chapters and appeared in Renaissance Quarterly 54.4 (2001) as “ ‘Fiery toungues’: Language, Liturgy, and the Paradox of the English Reformation.” An earlier version of Chapter was published in Studies in English Literature, 1500–1900, 44:1 (Winter 2004) as “Milton, Hobbes, and the Liturgical Subject.” And part of Chapter was included in Taylor and Beauregard, eds Shakespeare and the Culture of Christianity in Early Modern England (Fordham University Press, 2004), under the title “Sacral and Sacramental Kingship in Shakespeare’s Lancastrian Tetralogy.” I am grateful both for the original publication of each, and for the subsequent permission to include them here, back in the project which originally generated them My personal debts are more extensive and varied Rudi Heinze gets the credit, or the blame, for first getting me interested in the English Reformation and the Prayerbook The original version of this project was ably guided by Wendy Wall, Lacey Baldwin Smith, and Mary Beth Rose; Regina Schwartz gave feedback in later stages More recently, I received encouragement and advice from Debora Shuger, William Kennedy, viii Bibliography 223
