"I knowe Not Howe to Preache": The Role of the Preacher in Taverner's Postils

A sermon is analogous to a dramatic monologue in that it is "performed" by a preacher. In the case of postils, the editor creates that preacherly role for an actor other than the original author. Taverner's postils artfully construct their reader, giving him a role to play which diver...

520 |a A sermon is analogous to a dramatic monologue in that it is "performed" by a preacher. In the case of postils, the editor creates that preacherly role for an actor other than the original author. Taverner's postils artfully construct their reader, giving him a role to play which diverges from the character assigned (in the preface) to the actual priests urged to perform the sermon from the pulpit. Where Taverner's postils adapt previously printed sermons, some of them widely noticed and controversial, by preachers as different in style and manner as Hugh Latimer and Cuthbert Tunstall, the postils' "I," consistently authoritative and congenial, differs markedly from the "I" of the original sermons. Because of Taverner's extensive modification of his source sermons, his collection offered a script which enabled every parish to include in its familiar worship routine an English sermon as ordinary orally delivered religious instruction largely consonant with Henry's political and the reformers' proselytizing aims.
