Shakespeare's Use Of Sacred Names In Holy Writ

Shakespeare's Use of Sacred Names in Holy Writ by James Rees is a comprehensive study of the use of biblical names, references, and allusions in the works of William Shakespeare. The book explores how Shakespeare drew upon the language and imagery of the Bible to create his characters, plots, and themes, and how he used sacred names and stories to convey his own ideas and beliefs. Rees examines specific examples from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, tracing the origins and meanings of the biblical references and showing how they contribute to the overall meaning and impact of the works. The book also provides historical and cultural context for understanding the religious and literary traditions that influenced Shakespeare's use of sacred names. Shakespeare's Use of Sacred Names in Holy Writ is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Shakespeare, literature, and religious studies, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of religion and literature in the early modern period.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Shakespeare and the Bible, by James Rees.
