In works by Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Massinger, conversion from Christianity to Islam is portrayed as both a fate worse than death and a sexual seduction. Degenhardt examines the stage's treatment of this intercourse of faiths to reveal connections between sexuality, race, and confessional identity in early modern English drama and culture.
