Focusing on England, Hungary and on some other European countries,
the book explores the latent religious patterns in the
appropriation of Shakespeare from the 1769 Stratford Jubilee to the
tercentenary of Shakespeare's birth in 1864. It shows how the
Shakespeare cult used quasi-religious (verbal and ritual) means of
reverence, how it made use of some romantic notions, and how the
ensuing quasi-transcendental authority was utilized for political
purposes. The book suggests a theoretical framework and a
comprehensive anthropological context for the interpretation of
literature.
