Synopsis

Shakespeare's Knowledge and Use of the Bible by Charles Wordsworth is a detailed analysis of the biblical references and allusions found in the works of William Shakespeare. The book examines how Shakespeare's understanding of the Bible influenced his writing style and how he incorporated biblical themes and stories into his plays and sonnets. Wordsworth provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural and religious context of Shakespeare's time, including the Protestant Reformation and the King James Bible. The book also explores the ways in which Shakespeare adapted and transformed biblical narratives to suit his own artistic purposes, as well as the ways in which his use of biblical language and imagery contributed to the development of English literature. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of Shakespeare, English literature, and religious studies.1864.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Even the notes of critics upon Shakspeare, superfluously full in pointing out his obligations, real or supposed, to secular authors, are singularly meagre in the references which they make to the Holy Scriptures. And yet how abundant is the room for such reference, and how much it may conduce to the mutual illustration of the two books, which as Christians and as Britons we should value most, will be seen, I trust, upon every page of the Second Part of the following dissertation.
