BiblioFiles: A CenterForLit Podcast about Great Books, Great Ideas, and the Great Conversation

All the World's a Stage: Why Did the Reformers Hate Plays?

04 Mar 2025

Description

The CenterForLit crew attempts a huge historical leap in this episode as we try to bridge the gap between Greek drama and the Reformation. We talk about the sacred and ritual aspects of theatre before its secularization, and then use that context to make sense of why the Reformers had such a violet response to the art form.
