Dear colleagues, 

 

In order to create a useful and practical teaching resources platform on the new SE17/NASSCFL portal, we need your help! There are two ways in which you can participate and none of them should take much of your time. We are looking for examples of syllabi that you would agree to post on the website as well as samples of particularly successful lessons or sequences that you would like to share with the members of the SE17/NASSCFL portal.

Over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, explicitly Christian forms of theater began to decline in popularity.  Rather than see this shift merely as a sign of declining popular belief, this panel seeks to investigate the way that new formal demands complicated the representation of Christian themes.
