William Lawrence’s Newes from Geneva, or The Lewd Levite (1662): Recovering a manuscript restoration play
William Lawrence (c. 1636–1697) was a lawyer, man of letters, translator, and estate owner. This article considers a manuscript play by Lawrence from 1662 called Newes from Geneva, Or The lewd Levite. A Comedy which is largely unknown to scholars of Restoration drama. I begin by outlining the bibliographical and performance history of the author and the play. I then go on to consider the main and, particularly, the sub-plot in relation to the bro…

Apocalypse and Anti-Catholicism in Seventeenth-Century English Drama
This book examines the many and varied uses of apocalyptic and anti-Catholic language in seventeenth-century English drama.

Elegy, prophecy, and politics: Literary responses to the death of Prince Henry Stuart, 1612–1614
This article examines literary responses to the death of Prince Henry Stuart. These texts were written by figures from across the religious and political spectrum. They demonstrate an intriguing variety of responses – sceptical, moderate, and militant. They show that the implications of Henry's death were unstable and keenly contested. Specifically, I look at how elegists use the prophetic voice in order to comment on the political situation in t…
Moderation and religious criticism in William Cartwright’s The Ordinary (1635)
Building on the recent revival of critical interest in the drama of William Cartwright, this article explores the politics of religious moderation in his 1635 play The Ordinary. I situate the concept of moderation in Caroline England in relation to recent historical work on the subject, examining how Cartwright treats the subject in his poetry, where he argues that religious extremism inhibits the proper articulation of moderate politics. I then …
