Manchester and New York: Manchester University Press, 2003. Pp. xiii + 258. Cloth $74.95; Theatre and Religion: Lancastrian Shakespeare, edited by Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, and Richard Wilson. Manchester and New York: Manchester University Press, 2003. Pp. xiii + 267. Cloth $74.95. A HALF century after Shakespeare's death, Richard Davies, chaplain of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and later rector of Sapperton, declared that Shakespeare died a papist.1 For, he suggests, inscription on Shakespeare's tomb in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford curses anyone who might move his bones, and blesses those who leave them still interred. It is this sepulchral warning that also tempts Richard Wilson, in his fascinating recent book, secret Shakespeare, to guess that Shakespeare's own copy of Borromeo Testament of faith brought by Campion to Milan is interred with his bones.2 In this way Shakespeare carries his secret Catholicism with him to grave and ensures that it may remain buried. Only a desecration could reveal such a secret, and so it maintains its potent, hidden power, derived from surmise, taboo, and fear of violation. But perhaps Wilson's compellingly literal fantasy is better analyzed as a symptom of what might be called encryption of Catholicism in English historiography, including history of page and stage. For Nicholas Abraham and Maria Torok, crypt is a relation to past, a form of repressed and unfinished mourning, a foreign area of incorporation that keeps dead alive, intact, safe (save) inside me, but. . . . only to refuse to love dead as a living part of me, dead save in me, through process of introjection, as happens in so-called normal mourning.3 Sealed off inside mourner, dead one can remain intact but at price of an internal foreignness. Shut up in this way, past will be safe, but it can never transform consciousness of mourner. Wilson's fantasy about Shakespeare's intact, never to be disturbed secret might be better understood as a fantasy enacted in England's peculiar relation to Catholicism. Preserved in hermetic form of Catholic apologia, and in polemical, enduring drives of antipapistry and Whig history, Catholicism can remain hidden, unseen, fully internal, and at same time foreign, exotic, and alien. It will never get itself mixed up with history in which it is encrypted. Alison Shell has recently described English Catholicism as a catacomb culture, defined by secret or discreet worship, studied for a long time only by its own loving ancestors, and exiled from English history.4 Between 1558 when Elizabeth I acceded to throne and Supreme Head of English Church to Glorious Revolution of 1688, Catholicism was mainly associated with certain key events in Protestant imaginary: rebellion of northern earls in 1569, Gunpowder Plot of 1605, Spanish marriage for James I's son, Charles, in 1620s, Irish Rebellion of 1641, and Popish Plot of 1678-81.5 Yet it was a visit to Christian catacombs outside Rome that helped to convert Sir Toby Mathew, son of very Calvinist bishop of Durham, who converted to Catholicism in 1606, and entered Jesuit order in 1619: the sight of those most ancient crosses, altars, sepulchers, and other marks of Catholic religion, having been planted there in persecution of primitive Church . . . did strike me with a kind of reverent awe, and made me absolutely resolve to repress my insolent discourse against Catholic religion thereafter.6 Mathew's subsequent history as an exile, poet, chronicler of his own conversion, and historian of Counter-Reformation Catholicism, and later sojourn at Henrietta Maria's court, is precisely an instance of what Anthony Milton has called cross-confessionalism, imbrication and converse between Catholicism and Protestantism and movement, surprisingly common, through conversion, between them. …" @default.
