More about the book

Focusing on the transition from paganism to Christianity, this philosophical study delves into Shakespeare's portrayal of Antony and Cleopatra as both a historical narrative and a love story. It explores the aftermath of the Roman Republic's collapse, the decline of pagan deities, and the rise of the Roman Empire, highlighting the socio-religious shifts that set the stage for Christianity's emergence. The analysis reveals deeper themes within the play, enriching the understanding of its historical and cultural context.
