The idea
An age of expanding print, of classical texts newly available, of religious upheaval and of a commercial theatre. Each of those shows up in the writing: more books, more classical reference, more argument about salvation, and plays written for money.
In practice
Print, classics, religion, theatre.
Where people slip
Each shows up on the page.
