<p>For England, the sixteenth century was, above all, an age of religious upheaval. Behind the glittering procession of Tudor monarchs were dragged the bruised consciences of their unfortunate subjects. Then, at the end of the century, came the genius of Shakespeare, who gave in his plays 'the very age and body of the time his form and pressure'. To what extent, we may ask, does the religious upheaval of his time feature in these plays?   Apparently not at all, is the surprising answer. But 'apparently' is not the same as 'really'. For when we study the plays in relation to the religious movements of the Elizabethan age, we find unsuspected depths of meaning and implication. In these depths we may discern the various echoes of the continuing force of Catholic tradition, the developing establishment of Protestant reform, the gathering onslaught of radical Puritanism, and the steady growth of religious indifferences.</p>

Shakespeare's Religious Background

<p><div>The aspirations that professors have for their students are critiqued in this analysis of modern universities. Noting the deterioration in the quality of a college education, it is argued that the universal ideal of wisdom has, in recent decades, been sacrificed for the mere acquisition of knowledge. A case is made for universities to rethink what they take for granted as a proper education and incorporate not only traditional subject matters--philosophy, science, literature, and art--but also the philosophies of life, nature, time, food, sex, and death.<br /></div></p>
