There are plenty of nuggets of insight that should be accessible to anyone... Murakami's expansive view of what constitutes moral drama, and the ways in which it could say many different things at once to different segments of its audience is persuasive. - David Kathman, Sixteenth Century Journal This intellectually stimulating and densely argued study takes a fresh look at the moral drama tradition. . .a worthy contribution to scholarship on the moral plays and on their legacy, and for Marlowe scholars the discussion of Ramus and Doctor Faustus is must reading. - Paul Whitfield White, Marlowe Society of America Newsletter Murakami shows a bold willingness to draw on authors' biographies and performance conditions when relevant, and succeeds in conveying the social critique embedded in the plays. - Karen Robertson, Renaissance Quarterly In addition to providing a new perspective on the English tradition of moral drama, Moral Play and Counterpublic makes a meaningful intervention in the growing body of critical work on early modern public spheres. - Jennifer Rust, Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies
