Jensen examines the relationship between traditional festive pastimes - such as Midsummer pageants - and Shakespeare's plays. In arguing that Shakespeare's work reflects ongoing religious controversies concerning these pastimes, the book intervenes in recent controversies over religion's role in Shakespeare's theater, and the place of Catholicism in Shakespeare's work and world.
