If death inevitably claims the heroes of Shakespeare’s tragedies, its spectre stalks even his comedies. Illustrated with historic images, this book explores the playwright’s treatment of mortality in the context of Reformation England. It examines the way he depicts murder and suicide, the use of feigned deaths as a plot device, and the belief in ghosts and the afterlife.
