Status Updates From The Quest for Shakespeare: ...

I have always felt pretty skeptical about the claim that Shakespeare was Catholic because it feels like wishful thinking (even though some secular scholars agree). However, I love Joseph Pearce, and he presents plenty of solid evidence in support of Shakespeare’s Catholicism in online talks and articles alone. I don’t know if I’m conpletely convinced yet, but it’s certainly a reasonable claim.

I found this in my Friends of the Library bookstore for $2 and it caught my eye because my bookclub is reading Shakespeare's "Othello" this month. I took a look at the preface last night to see what it was about and just kept reading. The first few chapters explain a lot about recusant Catholics in England. So interesting!
