Review

Rather than looking at Shakespeare s religious doubt, Tartamella is concerned with Shakespeare s skepticism regarding the natural goodness of humankind. The research and learning of the study are commendable, the writing is professional, and the insights are welcome. . . . Recommended. All readers. Choice"Taking seriously the propensity of a poetry of praise and blame to turn its regard on itself, Tartamella traces a deeply rhetorical (rather than intellectual or social) element of doubt in the poems and plays, which she figures as the skeptical canker within the epideictic rose.
