Phillips, Kristina Rutledge.

Civil and spiritual disobedience in the early drama of East Anglia. - 205 p.

Adviser: Stephen K. Wright.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Catholic University of America, 2006.

This study examines the relationship between subjects and their authorities in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries by describing plays from England's East Anglia and their multiple points of intersection with political theory, legal history, local history, art history, English and Continental dramatic analogues, censorship, ethics, theology, and hermeneutics. By placing the plays in as much of their relevant regional and historic context as possible, it shows how concepts of spiritual and secular authority that were common in this time period were particularized and interpreted through performance. Chapter one outlines the context. Chapter two shows how plays from the N-Town manuscript dramatize tyranny and law and comment on corrupt authority figures through the accusations against Jesus. Chapter three, on the Digby Mary Magdalen, considers the power of eloquence used as a tool for both tyranny and truth, describes some of the traditional religious practices of East Anglians, and also hints at the effects of censorship on the drama. Chapter four, on the Digby Conversion of St. Paul and Candlemes Day and the Kyllyng of the Children of Israelle, explores the limits of authority. It describes two possible responses to tyranny---rebellion or divine justice---and notes regional political disturbances that would have added significance to the plays for their audiences. Some of these rebellions had incidental or deliberate connections with drama. Further, the accusations against Saul in the Digby Conversion testify to the confusion of religious and political jurisdiction in the accusation and prosecution of the capital crimes of treason and heresy. These plays invite the audience to critique their own spiritual and secular leaders---and also themselves, insofar as they have authority---and to respond justly.
