Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Reformation Literary Negotiation of Religious Difference

Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Reformation explores how Shakespeare responded in drama to the historical trauma of the Elizabethan Reformation. Shakespeare creatively engaged Catholic, Protestant, and secular points of view, and suggested new and interesting syntheses in play after play, thus providing models for today’s ecumenical dialogues.
