This book follows the recent 'turn to religion' that has been so important to English Studies in the 21st century, and builds on many of the recent biographies of Shakespeare that have explored the playwright's religious views. While noticing biography, the focus of this book is upon the onstage action of King Lear, arguing that its 'theodicy' can be understood as the expansion of theological vision.The book makes this argument by drawing on an approach to literature known as 'theological aesthetics,' an approach pioneered by Hans Urs Von Balthasar. Engaging with not only W.R. Elton, but also other Shakespeare scholars such as Jan Kott and Kenneth Muir, it combines theological argument, performance criticism, and dramatic analysis to argue for a theological reading of King Lear.
Dr Greg Maillet is Professor of English at Crandall University in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. He has authored numerous articles on Shakespeare, and is co-author, with David Lyle Jeffrey, of Christianity and Literature: Philosophical Foundations and Critical Practice (2011).
