Stephen Greenblatt suggests Shakespeare's secret Catholicism in Will in the World.
Also: I have heard that renaissance fair participants include a powerful subculture of S & M enthusiasts.
I'm a constant listener to your great show---your guest just cited Claire Asquith's "Shadowplay" which you seemed to know nothing about. You interviewed this author in 2005 when this book was released in the US.
Love your show.
Thanks
