   Is Shakespeare's Testament based on a true story?

   Did Shakespeare have a religion?

   • Opinion about Shakespeare's religion, while more vocal than ever, is still openly divided. Stephen Greenblatt confirmed his view that Shakespeare lived a life in the shadow of Catholic belief. Shakespeare loved damaged institutional goods, and he drew upon them for aesthetic purposes all his life.

   Is Shakespeare a sceptical book?

   • This raises several kinds of scepticism. One arises from the fact that there is only one surviving record of an identifiable English Catholic reading from a copy of Shakespeare, which is a Second Folio of 1632, once the possession of the English Seminary College in Valladolid, and now in the Folger Library.

   Does Shakespeare provide a'secular scripture'?

   • Secular Shakespeare—as in Harold Bloom's famous dictum that Shakespeare provides a ‘secular scripture’—is a historical fabrication with its roots in a modernist ideology. 26 If only, we think, we had the right evidence, we could solve the mystery and discover Shakespeare's faith.

   Did William Shakespeare write a spiritual autobiography?

   • The materials for a spiritual autobiography of William Shakespeare are manifestly missing. He wrote no doctrinal pamphlets or devotional verse. He hardly wrote even in the first person, except for the Sonnets: and on religion, as well as sex, the Sonnets are notoriously hard to read.

   Does Shakespeare have a scepticism about religion?

   • David Bevington, in a magisterial, articulate and wisely judicious essay on Shakespeare's Ideas, for a series of books on great human thinkers, takes on the topic of religion almost last of all, just before that of scepticism. Moreover, like others, he is more certain of establishing grounds for Shakespeare's scepticism than for his belief.
