John Harlan Underhill replied to the topic Sci. and Lit. (Shakespeare) Film Project looking for comments in the forum

For both, the essence was personal observation rather than illustration of pious dogma, such as we think of when we think of medieval thought. But Shakespeare confined himself to the s…[Read more]
