Abstract

This book review discusses "Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Reformation: Literary Negotiation of Religious Difference" by Dennis Taylor. The book explores the impact of the Reformation on Shakespeare's plays and argues that the audience of the time was challenged to grapple with the religious changes through these works. However, the reviewer expresses skepticism about the author's claims and argues that the book lacks a compelling argument. The review also criticizes the editing of the book and suggests that it needed more focus and care. [Extracted from the article]
