Fr. Joseph Fessio and Joseph Pearce Talk About Shakespeare | September 8, 2008 | Ignatius Insight
The following 13-minute interview took place on Monday, September 8, 2008, at Ave Maria University. Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J., founder and editor of Ignatius Press, and Joseph Pearce, noted author of several books, discuss The Quest For Shakespeare: The Bard of
Avon and the Church of Rome (Ignatius Press, 2008), Pearce's most recent book published by Ignatius Press, which has sparked fresh debate over the identity of the great playwright and the character of his religious beliefs.

Interesting points. Perhaps the calmer tones can lead to a better discussion of the issues, now that the raised voices have gotten everyone's attention.

Beyond this blog and First Things, what attention has this gotten?

Jackson: Are you implying that there is some value, even miniscule, in what happens outside of this blog and First Things? How dare you! ;-)

hahaha....
But seriously, I'm interested in seeing where else this has gotten attention.

It's gotten attention among some of the Shakespeare folk. As you might expect.

I still want Miola's work on Senecan elements in Shakespeare rewritten for the general reader.

I notice that RR Reno of Creighton has an interview with Miola on Google Video as of September 3rd.

I also noticed Anthony Esolen's endorsement somewhere on the thread...I've always enjoyed Esolen's work. If he can Miola want to argue over it, I'd pay good money to read it.

Would it be possible for you to publish the entire interview online? For whatever reason, I cannot access the video. Or, is it up at YouTube? Many thanks for your consideration.

Yay! I was finally able to access it - an excellent interview!
LOL! Fr. Fessio - JP for VP!
Can you set up a Youtube account & post this there? Fr. Pavone has done it - Fr. Corapi & Fr. Leo Clifford as well.
Here's Fr. Pavone's channel:
