Description

Explore the religious complexities of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy in this scholarly study from Routledge. John Curran examines how Hamlet functions as a commentary on the Calvinistic Protestantism that dominated the era around 1600. By looking at the inner workings of the play through the lens of contemporary religious thought, this work investigates how Shakespeare portrays a deterministic universe. Curran argues that the play exposes the disturbing aspects of Calvinism by placing a Catholic Prince Hamlet within a Protestant world. This tension creates a narrative where the protagonist is constantly denied his aspirations for a noble life. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the intersection of drama and religious history, providing a deep look at how Shakespeare used his characters to reflect the theological shifts of his time.
