Shakespeare and Religion
The Arden Shakespeare (Verlag)
978-1-4725-6817-5 (ISBN)
This study describes a writer whose language is saturated in religious discourse but whose invariable practice is to subordinate religious matter to the aesthetic demands of the work. For Shakespeare, as for few of his contemporaries, the Judaeo-Christian story is something less than a master narrative.
Alison Shell is Professor of English at University College London, UK, and currently runs the English Department’s MA in English: Shakespeare in History, and sits on the steering committee for the UCL Centre for Early Modern Exchanges. She is an editor for the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies’ series ‘Catholic and Recusant Texts in Early Modern England’. She reviews for the Times Literary Supplement, the Church Times and a number of academic journals.
