While The Faith of William Shakespeare deals with complex ideas, it is very accessible. The book assumes the reader does not have an in depth knowledge of either the religious context or the plays themselves. The introductory chapter on the English Reformation is particularly good, and I enjoyed his analysis of King Lear and genre. Holderness’s analysis looks at each play as a whole, and focuses on philosophical and linguistic echoes in scripture.
Often his readings are broadly “Christian” rather than specifically Protestant (or Anglican, or Calvinist), which sadly works against his “Shakespeare is a Protestant” argument. However, just because I did not end the book convinced that Shakespeare or his plays were Protestant, does not mean this was not an enlightening and interesting exploration of one of the key issues in Shakespeare criticism.
Thank you to Graham Holderness and Lion Books via NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
