Forms of hypocrisy in early modern England

Abstract

Bringing together current critical work on early modern subjectivity, performance, print history, and private and public identities and space, the collection provides readers with a way into the complexity of the term ‘Hypocrisy’ and into the cultural roots of conceptual issues relating to falsehood, truthfulness, and power. The essays offer an overview of different forms of hypocrisy, including educational practice, social transaction, dramatic technique, distorted worship, female deceit, print controversy, and the performance of demonic possession.
