- Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. The period when Shakespeare was writing was one torn by disagreements over the proper method of observing Christianity in England.

The way Shakespeare handled these divisions is the topic of this podcast.
David Scott Kastan, George M. Bodman Professor of English at Yale University, explores these questions in his book, Will To Believe: Shakespeare and Religion. and is interviewed by Neva Grant. - Series
