Abstract
‘Who is my neighbour?’ is a question with ethical, social and political valency to which stories of caritas found in the archives, literature and drama of early-modern England respond. In this talk I will explore the church and play-house as spaces in which the affective qualities of neighbourliness and charity might be imaginatively experienced and evaluated, and the identities of alms-seeker and alms-giver mutually constituted through the rhetoric and performance.
Series This talk is part of the Wolfson College Humanities Society talks series.
