Seeming Knowledge revisits the question of Shakespeare and religion by focusing on the conjunction of faith and skepticism in his writing. Cox argues that the relationship between faith and skepticism is not an invented conjunction. The recognition of the history of faith and skepticism in the sixteenth century illuminates a tradition that Shakespeare inherited and represented more subtly and effectively than any other writer of his generation.
Industry Reviews
[T]his is a thoughtfully argued, clearly written, and deeply informed essay which will appeal not only to Shakespeareans but to anyone interested in the intersection of drama, religion, and philosophy in Tudor-Stuart England. -- Sixteenth Century Journal, XL/3
