Why do Shakespeare and the English Bible seem to have an inherent
relationship with each other? How have these two monumental
traditions in the history of the book functioned as mutually
reinforcing sources of cultural authority? How do material books
and related reading practices serve as specific sites of
intersection between these two textual traditions? This collection
makes a significant intervention in our understanding of
Shakespeare, the Bible, and the role of textual materiality in the
construction of cultural authority. Departing from conventional
source study, it questions the often naturalized links between the
Shakespearean and biblical corpora, examining instead the
historically contingent ways these links have been forged. The
volume brings together leading scholars in Shakespeare, book
history, and the Bible as literature, whose essays converge on the
question of Scripture as source versus Scripture as process-whether
that scripture is biblical or Shakespearean-and in turn explore
themes such as cultural authority, pedagogy, secularism, textual
scholarship, and the materiality of texts. Covering an historical
span from Shakespeare's post-Reformation era to present-day
Northern Ireland, the volume uncovers how Shakespeare and the
Bible's intertwined histories illuminate the enduring tensions
between materiality and transcendence in the history of the book.
