The is increasingly good evidence that William Shakespeare, undoubtedly one of the greatest dramatists the world has ever known, was a militant Catholic. I her work, Shadowplay, Clare Asquith, wife of the former British Ambassador to Russia in the 1970s, dissects all of his plays and lays out a comprehensive case that WS was bewailing the loss of the One True Faith in England. She was at the theatre in Moscow when she was aware that the audience were responding not to the actual words but to the coded words in the text. She applied this to the most traumatic time in English history; the English Reformation. It is fascinating reading. The state spies were in attendance at all the theatres in London, hence the coded words.<br /><br />We know that Shakespeare owned a house in Blackfriars, London, which was frequented by Catholic priests. It is said by an Anglican priest of the Stratford-upon-Avon area one hundred years later that he died a Catholic. <br /><br />Let;s claim this great man, this great Catholic, and salute him. Let's reclaim him from the Whig/Protestant hegemony who saw him as one of their own. Serious study now needs to show that this great man was a true and faithful Catholic keeping the flame alive.Paul Dalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981956.post-67661017402065274142015-01-24T10:36:57.481-05:002015-01-24T10:36:57.481-05:00Fascinating, Vox.
