Reviews

"William Shakespeare viewed the from within that context, and naturally, he portrayed that institutions as such in his plays. In so doing, he concerned himself (and his audience) with the development, within various degrees of dramatic emphasis and importance, with the agents and officers of the Church. From dramatic subtlety to outright rhetorical finger pointing, he directed his mind's eye sharply upon their personalities as well as upon their clerical functions."
