Title: Shakespeare's Religion Examined
Review: This is essential reading for anyone interested in Shakespeare's religion--an issue that recurs continually among Shakespeare scholars. Professor Wright sees the history plays as vital expressions of Shakespeare's patriotism containing a common-sense argument for the Anglican Church as the proper spiritual adjunct of the English (and Tudor)Crown. He makes a persuasive case for Shakespeare as an immensely intelligent, well-read and theologically literate defender of the Anglican Church. This is a powerful (and readable) antidote to the light-weight theorizing about Shakespeare as a Lancashire Catholic.
