Islamic Conversion and Christian Resistance on the Early Modern Stage

By (author) Jane Hwang Degenhardt






| book description |

This book explores the threat of Christian conversion to Islam in twelve early modern English plays. In works by Shakespeare, Marlowe, Massinger, and others, conversion from Christianity to Islam is represented as both tragic and erotic, as a fate worse than death and as a sexual seduction.
