'John Vyvyan's books on the spiritual philosophy of Shakespeare aroused interest when they were first published in the early sixties ... all who seek the true wisdom of Shakespeare will welcome this first republication of his trilogy for fifty years ... [Vyvyan's] scholarship and dogged research in opening the doors of the Christian-Platonic philosophy of the Renaissance and uncovering the vastness of Shakespeare's spiritual universe pronounce him an intrepid pioneer in Shakespearean scholarship, whose work should now receive wider recognition.'
