About this book

This balanced and innovative collection explores the relationship of Shakespeare's plays to the changing face of early modern religion, considering the connections between Shakespeare's theatre and the religious past, the religious identities of the present and the deep cultural changes that would shape the future of religion in the modern world.

Reviews

'The volume manages to encompass a surprising amount of diversity, extending its scope to consider the continuum of changes in religious and dramatic culture from the 1520s onwards... This book will interest not only Shakespeare students and scholars but also scholars of the Reformation and of theatre history.' Routledge ABES June 2011

''a highly recommended volume, one that gathers together the work of excellent scholars, offers an enjoyable reading experience, and presents a rich mine of gems to use in the classroom.'' - Shakespeare Studies
