Taking the heterodox as his concentration, Benson examines 5 figures and ideas at the margins of the post-Reformation English church: nonconforming puritans equivalent to Malvolio in addition to actual revenants—the jogging dead—whom Shakespeare alludes to and lines so tantalizingly in Hamlet. Benson applies what Keats referred to as Shakespeare’s “negative capability”—his skill to regard each side of a subject both and with out prejudice—to express that Shakespeare considers attainable worlds the place God is in detail enthusiastic about the lives of people and, within the exact same play, an international during which God won't even exist. Benson demonstrates either that the diversity of Shakespeare’s research of non secular questions is extra bold than has formerly been notion, and that the excellence among the sacred and the profane, among the orthodox and the unorthodox, is one who Shakespeare always engages.
