Shakespeare's Friend of the Sonnets

Résumé du livre

This text illustrates the theological emphasis in Shakespeare's Hamlet and the influences from the Church that Shakespeare encountered. Beryl Hughes looks into the tangled web of deceit between Ophelia, Claudius, Gertrude and the King, and how such literature relates to the events occurring in Shakespeare's own life. She also uncovers the mystery surrounding his friendships with Robert Southwell and Anne Bellamy, and the tragic end which inevitably veiled their demise.
