Russell Hillier (Literature and Theology, 2009 23:359-363) reviews David N Beauregard’s 2008 book entitled Catholic Theology in Shakespeare's Plays:
An important study and a major contribution within the field of Shakespeare scholarship. Beauregard's book provides a wealth of convincing evidence for Shakespeare's Catholic sensibilities that will be exceedingly difficult for Renaissance scholars to ignore or to refute. Beuaregard's assured marshalling of a plethora of Shakespearean proof texts and his plain exposition of their doctrinal, sacramental and devotional content caused me … to question why a study of this kind had not been attempted long before now.
