Lyly's 'Endymion' and 'Midas': the Catholic question in England

Article Abstract:

John Lyly wrote "Endymion" and "Midas" by incorporating Reformation issues. "Endymion" was produced in the late 1587 and early 1588. Lyle at that time was fully involved in the religious debate concerning Catholicism. Prior to these, he had stayed away from religion and viewed it as a personal choice. Similarly, Lyly had been in and out of Queen Elizabeth's favor, more for personal reasons than religious.

Damnable deconstructions: Vice language in the interlude

Article Abstract:

Underlying reasons for a decline in dramatic interest from 1560 to 1570 include the influence of evangelical writers and the types of plays they produced at that time. While playwriters tried unsuccessfully to conceal controversial evangelical themes, the mix of homilies and playfulness were too strong a dichotomy for reformers.
