Download or read book Spiritual Shakespeare written by Edward L. Risden and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For an author who tended to avoid explicitly Christian subjects in his plays and poems, Shakespeare showed an abiding interest in the spiritual qualities of his characters. Spiritual Shakespeare, the latest study by noted Shakespeare scholar E. L. Risden, considers the playwright not only as a Christian writer, but also one of considerable spiritual significance: the plays regularly highlight evidence of characters' struggles with their own spiritual health. They often show the sorrows that result from spiritual blindness or neglect. With respect to spirituality, Shakespeare's text has little to say directly, but much to show. Unlike the majority of writers before and during his time, Shakespeare has few explicitly didactic moments; those that do teach wear a subtle cloak of irony. He worked with his own Christian background in a way much different than did Milton or Dante. His comedies seldom point to happiness ahead, and his tragedies show a world suffering from spiritual disease. His characters have free will and bear responsibility for their actions, but most often they either lack or fail to employ spiritual resources that could in some cases have saved them. Shakespeare's plots do occasionally comment on religion; spirituality folded naturally into his work as part of his experience of living--and dying. Without insisting on a Protestant or Catholic affiliation, this book considers how a number of Shakespeare's greatest plays address salvation, justice, history, morality, and judgment. Attending to the spiritual element helps complete a more expansive and fulfilling reading of the plays and places Shakespeare more fully and comfortably in his own time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vice-Chancellor, Heads, Professors, and Members of this University, and you, Ladies and Gentlemen, who have come here to hear me, it is my task to-day to speak of Shakespeare and Spiritual Life.I have to speak this to the University, that is, to one of the great bodies of life which persists century after century, changing continually, yet remaining a unity; making a bond among men, one of the subtlest andstrongest bonds, of youth passed in brotherhood; linking the present to the past, and both to the future. The world moves as such bodies as this direct, whether to the trusting spirit, as in the past, or to the inquiring mind, as at the present time, or to the illuminated mind that shall be. I feel like this present minute addressing seven centuries.In the beginning let me say this: that by Spiritual Life I mean all imagined or apprehended Life which, without known, sensible, physical character, affects, or is imagined to affect, the lives of men and women in this world. I do not mean any way or rule of sanctity or austerity practised by devout persons of the great religions.

Download or read book Spiritual Shakespeares written by Ewan Fernie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-11-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual Shakespeares is the first book to explore the scope for reading Shakespeare spiritually in the light of contemporary theory and current world events. Ewan Fernie has brought together an exciting cast of critics in order to respond to the ‘religious turn’ in recent literary theory and to the spiritualized politics of terrorism and the ‘War on Terror’. Exploring a genuinely new perspective within Shakespeare Studies, the volume suggests that experiencing the spiritual intensities of the plays could lead us back to dramatic intensity as such. It tests spirituality from a political perspective, as well as subjecting politics to an unusual spiritual critique. Amongst its controversial and provocative arguments is the idea that a consideration of spirituality might point the way forward for materialist criticism. Reaching across and beyond literary studies to offer challenging and powerful contributions from leading scholars, this book offers unique readings of some very familiar plays.
Download or read book The Faith of William Shakespeare written by Graham Holderness and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Shakespeare stills stands head and shoulders above any other author in the English language, a position that is unlikely ever to change. Yet it is often said that we know very little about him - and that applies as much to what he believed as it does to the rest of his biography. Or does it? In this authoritative new study, Graham Holderness takes us through the context of Shakespeare's life, times of religious and political turmoil, and looks at what we do know of Shakespeare the Anglican. But then he goes beyond that, and mines the plays themselves, not just for the words of the characters, but for the concepts, themes and language which Shakespeare was himself steeped in - the language of the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer. Considering particularly such plays as Richard ll, Henry V, The Merchant of Venice, Measure for Measure, Hamlet, Othello, The Tempest and The Winter's Tale, Holderness shows how the ideas of Catholicism come up against those of Luther and Calvin; how Christianity was woven deep into Shakespeare's psyche, and how he brought it again and again to his art.
