abstract:
Starting from The Book of Common Prayer, a text widely used in the seventeenth century, this paper
provides the historical and theological context which includes the debate on Mass as performance, that is
both as ‘representation’ of the Christ’s sacrifice and as a setting for an event – the ‘transformation’ of the
bread and wine into the Christ’s body and blood through the words of consecration pronounced by the
priest. It also analyses some figures related to the liturgical aspects of the Eucharist and Donne's poetic attempt
to stage a performance of seduction by means of them.
