| Sumario: | Chapter 2 of the book "Shakespeare and the Culture of Christianity in Early Modern England" is presented. It explores William Shakespeare's book "Richard III," depicting tragic history of an England divided against itself in the context of Elizabethan tensions over mourning and burial ritual.
