Nothing in Shakespeare's England was as important as religion.
Questions of faith informed everything from history and politics to
love and family, work and play, good and evil, suffering and
sacrifice, and ultimately life and death. Every one of
Shakespeare's plays is rich in allusions to the Bible, church rites
including baptism, communion, marriage, and burial, and a host of
religious beliefs. This Companion provides an essential grounding
in early modern religious history and culture and the ideas that
Shakespeare returns to throughout his career. Chapters dedicated to
close-readings of individual plays or groups of plays span both the
complex and variegated Christian beliefs explored in Shakespeare's
work, as well as the treatment of Judaism, Islam and classical
paganism. Authored by an international team of eminent scholars and
featuring an Afterword by Rowan Williams, this Companion is the
most comprehensive and incisive guide to the topic that students
will find.
