Texts and traditions : religion in Shakespeare, 1592-1604
This book explores Shakespeare's engagement with the religious culture of his time. It unearths previously unrecognised allusions to the Bible and the liturgy as well as to the medieval mystery plays. It argues that we need to unravel the interpretative possibilities of these religious nuances in order to understand these ostensibly secular plays.
