This ground breaking and accessible study explores the connections
between the English Reformation's impact on the belief in eternal
salvation and how it affected ways of believing in the plays of
Shakespeare. Claire McEachern examines the new and better faith
that Protestantism imagined for itself, a faith in which scepticism
did not erode belief, but worked to substantiate it in ways that
were both affectively positive and empirically positivist.
Concluding with in-depth readings of Richard II, King Lear and The
Tempest, the book represents a markedly fresh intervention in the
topic of Shakespeare and religion. With great originality,
McEachern argues that the English reception of the Calvinist
imperative to 'know with' God allowed the very nature of literary
involvement to change, transforming feeling for a character into
feeling with one.
