The Catholic Shakespeare

Today it is widely accepted that Shakespeare was raised in a devoutly Catholic family at a time when the practice of the Faith was illegal. Blessed John Henry Newman wrote that Shakespeare had “so little of a Protestant about him that Catholics have been able, without extravagance, to claim him as their own.” As this week marks the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth, death and baptism, we’ll take a look at how he expressed his faith. Joe Pearce joins us.

Joseph Pearce is the author of numerous literary works including Literary Converts, The Quest for Shakespeare and Literature: What Every Catholic Should Know. He's Senior Contributor at The Imaginative Conservative, St. John Henry Newman Visiting Chair of Catholic Studies at Thomas More College in Merrimack, NH, editor of the St. Austin Review, and series editor of the Ignatius Critical Editions.
