Christian Humanism in Shakespeare
A Study in Religion and Literature
About the Author
Reviews
"Lee Oser's reading of Shakespeare as an Erasmian humanist is a work of scholarly conscience and commitment. Oser shows real delicacy in his treatment of the plays, and a generous wit in his dealings with the vast secondary literature. Shakespeare emerges here not as a champion of orthodoxy but rather an exuberant skeptic who saw that questioning must have an end."—David Bromwich, Yale University
"Lee Oser offers insight after insight concerning Shakespeare's art and language, the values contested in his dramas, and the degree to which religion plays a pivotal role on the Globe's stage. If one remains skeptical about the argument that Shakespeare's Christianity is, as Oser claims, 'entirely relevant' to his achievement, then, as Coleridge offered about Christianity itself, 'TRY IT': in short, read this provocative, controversial, and scrupulously written book."—James Engell, Harvard University
"Anyone who has any love for Shakespeare and desire to gain deeper insights into Shakespeare—his context, time, and the dramas of stage and life—will find an exceptional work in Christian Humanism in Shakespeare. For those of us who are involved in the curating and cultivating of the heart and the mind in relation to God and the arts, this is an indispensable read."—VoegelinView
