An Inventions of the Text seminar
This seminar will focus on three historical paradoxes about Shakespeare and his writing. Firstly, Shakespeare’s plays can accurately be described as both Christian and secular. Secondly, they are both English and universal. Finally, they are both historically limited and timeless.
