Wanton Words: Rhetoric and Sexuality in English Renaissance Drama

Abstract

aspects of the central Utraquist position that were seen as a radical departure from Roman practice endured long enough to constitute a sort of theological template for much later developments in liberal ecclesiology.This is a very admirable work-clear, fluid, and highly informative.It would perhaps be too optimistic to hope that David will revive an interest in Czech church history now that he has whetted our appetites.More work needs to be done in almost every sphere: ecclesiology, theology, popular history-to name only the most pressing.For those with a mind to follow his lead, David's copious footnotes, which account for a third of the book's length, offer the best, and perhaps only, place to begin.It is sure to be worth the effort.
