Jackson Ringley

Jackson researches theatricality and anti-theatricality during the Renaissance and Reformation periods of Early Modern London. He is primarily interested in how theatre practitioners and theologians have tried to make sense of what the theatre was and should be, as well as how contemporary scholars portray those discourses in the construction of European religious history. Jackson mainly works with the "anti-theatrical" religious writings about the Elizabethan stage, in addition to the works of Christopher Marlowe and his contemporaries.
