Shakespeare and Religion

Informationen zum Autor Alison Shell is Professor of English at University College London. Formerly Professor of English at Durham, she now runs UCL English Department's MA in English: Shakespeare in History. She is an editor and critic, reviewing for the Times Literary Supplement, the Church Times and a number of academic journals. Principal works include: Catholicism, Controversy, and the English Literary Imagination, 1558-1660 (1999), Oral Culture and Catholicism in Early Modern England (2007), and Shakespeare And Religion (2011).
