Nothing in Shakespeare's England held greater significance than religion. The realm of faith permeated every aspect of life, influencing history, politics, love, family, work, play, morality, suffering, and sacrifice, ultimately shaping the very essence of existence. Shakespeare's plays are a treasure trove of references to the Bible, church rituals such as baptism, communion, marriage, and burial, and a wide array of religious beliefs. This Companion serves as a vital foundation in understanding the religious history and culture of early modern England, as well as the recurring themes that Shakespeare explored throughout his illustrious career. Dedicated chapters delve into close readings of individual plays or clusters of plays, exploring the intricate and diverse Christian beliefs explored in Shakespeare's work, as well as the treatment of Judaism, Islam, and classical paganism. Authored by an esteemed team of international scholars, this Companion boasts an Afterword by Rowan Williams, making it the most comprehensive and insightful guide available to students of this subject.
