Dear Michael,
An interesting article for this is Ken Jackson and Arthur F. Marotti, "The
Turn to Religion in Early Modern Studies," Criticism, vol, 46, n. 1.
(Winter 2004) pp. 167-90. It provides good bibliography and overview of a
lot of recent scholarship as well as providing some interesting
theoretical analysis. If your school subscribes to Project Muse, it's
available on that.
Best,
Bryan Lowrance.
