This is the first study to consider the relationship between private confessional rituals and memory across a range of early modern writers, including Edmund Spenser, Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and Robert Southwell.
“Stegner’s introduction neatly traces the gradual erasure of Catholic private auricular confession after the Reformation and how confession was reoriented by the Elizabethan settlement. … this wide-ranging study offers a timely appraisal of the relationship between memory, the penitential tradition, and early modern English literature.” (Rachel Willie, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 70 (1), 2017)
