En 1528, le peintre flamand P. Coeck d'Alost fait figurer à gauche d'un de ses tableaux figurant la Cène un homme à la moue chagrine qui semble bouder le Christ et ses apôtres. Pour les auteurs, qui livrent ici le résultat de leurs recherches, il s'agit d'une réprésentation de M. Luther, dont la présence dans cette Cène constituait à l'époque un message codé.

The Reformation changed forever how the sacrament of the Eucharist was understood. This study of six canonical early modern lyric poets traces the literary afterlife of what was one of the greatest doctrinal shifts in English history. Sophie Read argues that the move from a literal to a figurative understanding of the phrase 'this is my body' exerted a powerful imaginative pull on successive generations. To illustrate this, she examines in detail the work of Southwell, Donne, Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan and Milton, who between them represent a broad range of doctrinal and confessional positions, from the Jesuit Southwell to Milton's heterodox Puritanism. Individually, each chapter examines how Eucharistic ideas are expressed through a particular rhetorical trope; together, they illuminate the continued importance of the Eucharist's transformation well into the seventeenth century - not simply as a matter of doctrine, but as a rhetorical and poetic mode.
