Synopsis

"A daring look into the art and technique of one of history’s most celebrated literaryscholars, Shakespeare, Religion and Beyond is a detailed documentation on thatattempt to shed light on a missing piece in a cryptic puzzle. As described byRobin L. Inboden, Ph. D. (Wittenberg University), “Fleissners’s book summarized,interrogates, and extends both long-held assumptions about Shakespeare’s workand newer claims alike. His speculative web of connections among plays, thelife,the religion, and the literary inspirations of Shakespeare links the unexpected andthus suggests potentially fruitful avenues for further study.”"

About this title

About the Author

Dr. R.F. Fleissner is author of sixteen books, numerous articles, also some on Sherlock Holmes and some on Dickens, but mainly Shakespeare. His NYU dissertation, then published, was on Shakespeare's influence on Dickens. One of his first articles was on Shakespeare but in the Dickensian. He was instrumental in starting the annual yearly conference on Shakespeare in the Daytona area, where he has also taught for about forty years (at Central SU), on Holmes but mainly on the Bard. It has continued for some two decades in the Daytona area. Although he has else been the author of a number if published pastiches on Holmes, the present study of his is his first book-length attempt, indeed the first such annotated collection on record. He is officially semi-retired from the Central State University, as is said there.
