SHAKESPEARIANA
His Attitude Toward Religion
Thomas Hardy's Poem.

"ShaGespeare's England" the volume
published in commemoration Of tn
tercentenary Of his death lOxfor'
Press. the work OF thirty
o ght scholars, presents PRACTICAL,
complete picture of the life and man
ners Of the Bard's age and country. Or
the subject OF Shakespeare's religion
and sympathies in a da,
OF bitter strife. the Rev. R. Bsyn'
writes in his chapter on the subject
Shakespearc's use Of technical
terms connected with the old rellg-
ion seems On the whole less than
We should expect from one whose
vocabulary vas so large and whose
use o. the technical words
and phrases OF all classes and pro
fessions was 40 profuse. When IN
the speech Of the Ghost IN Ham
let" we get technical expressions
like those IN the line
"Unhousepd, disappointed, unaneld"
we find them all in this place onlyi
the word "purgatory' occurs only
twice in all the PLAYS 0" Romeo
and Juliet III. iil Is; "Othello'
". iii. IT.; and II We compare the
Ghosts description OF his prison
house with Claudio's references 20
fiery foods" "thick-ribbed ice"
and "viewless winds when che
delighted spirit" goes I'VE know
not where" We shall feel that
Shakcspeare's thoughts Of the next
life we're not confined within the
limits Of Roman Catholic ortho-
doxy.
That Shakespeare was not fu-
ritan, anv more than ne was a Pa
pist. we gather from the general
tenor OF his plays and the central
facts Of his life rather than from
any direct attacks upon Puritsnism
in his writings The sketch OF the
credulous self-love Of Malvolio
was no doubt suggested in the
main By Puritan preciseness, but
Shakespeare's treatment OF the
character is kindly and could give
offence to no reasonable person.
At the same time. in Sir Ioby's
exclamation
Dust thou think, because tnou arr
virtuous. there shall be no more
cakes and ale >"
We have proof that Shakespeare
fully understood the problem Of
which Puritanism always desired
70 cut the knot.
II is probable that some OF
Shakespeare biblical knowledge
came BY way Of the Prayer Book.
His attitude 20 the Bible was in no
sense professional or theological.
We cannot prove from his vocab-
ulary that he shared the passion
fer Bible-resding which was so i'm
portant a result Of the Reforma-
ton movement. His religion was
the religion % man who stood
outside all parties Of the day with
out despising any OF them. His
religion. in short. Is an aspect or
part o. his general attitude TO life
and humanity. IL has the univer-
salty. the tolerance. the deep hu-
mainly OF his dramatic art.
