Demonstrating how the lost lexicon of fashionable late Renaissance alchemy imbued Shakespeare's bawdy sonnets and A Lover's Complaint with spiritual and political meanings, this book transforms our understanding of Shakespeare's art. Healy provides a crucial new framework for interpreting the playwright's religious beliefs and his 1609 poems.
