Godless Shakespeare

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Part of the "Shakespeare Now!" series, this book presents an account of the absence of God and belief in Shakespeare's plays. Following Dante's three-part structure for the "Divine Comedy", the first part represents expressions of religious faith, the second sets out more sceptical positions, and the last presents articulations of godlessness.
