The Transformations of Tragedy: Christian Influences from Early Modern to Modern explores the influence of Christian theology and culture upon the development of post-classical Western tragedy. The volume is divided into three parts: early modern, modern, and contemporary. This series of essays by established and emergent scholars offers a sustained study of Christianity’s creative influence upon experimental forms of Western tragic drama.Both early modern and modern tragedy emerged within periods of remarkable upheaval in Church history, yet Christianity’s diverse influence upon tragedy has too often been either ignored or denounced by major tragic theorists. This book contends instead that the history of tragedy cannot be sufficiently theorised without fully registering the impact of Christianity in transition towards modernity.

Inventing the Secular
Literature and Religion from Medieval to Modern

This book explores how literature has actively shaped, rather than merely reflected, ideas of "the secular". Bringing together leading scholars from medieval to modern studies, it traces the imaginative, moral, and political inventions through which Western secularity emerged from within religious cultures. The volume offers new genealogies of belief, power, and aesthetics, showing how literary forms—from Chaucer’s tales to modernist cityscapes—test and transform inherited theologies. By revealing the secular as a creative, contested, and emotionally charged construction, the book reframes long-standing debates about modernity, faith, and the literary imagination.
