Cracking the Shakespeare Code

Synopsis
Video podcast. The 2007 Catholic Literature Series focuses on Shakespeare and his relationship to Catholicism. While Shakespeare’s place in the Western canon is settled, the controversial question of his faith is not. This series debates the notion of a Catholic ethos in his plays, exploring the historical and literary facts surrounding the issue. This lecture is given by Professor Peter Holland.
