Their common thread is Pauline-allusive characters who resist political, social, and\/or physical subjection and aspire -- with mixed degrees of failure and success -- to emancipated lives of fulfilled being and belonging. Historically contextualized case-studies of \u003cem\u003eHenry VI Part Three\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRichard III, Twelfth Night, The Comedy of Errors, Pericles, The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKing John\u003c\/em\u003e explore desires for freedom on authorial and theatrical as well as thematic levels. They seek out new critical directions by bringing post-typological and postsecular 'Pauline Shakespeare' into conversation with contemporary theories of disability, gender, race, and ecocriticism. A further original feature of the book is intertextual attention to parallel critical approaches to St Paul by several early modern women writers. \u003cem\u003eShakespeare, St Paul, and Dramatic Emancipation\u003c\/em\u003e rediscovers a polyvocal, complex, and emancipatory Paul as a significant career-long resource for the playwright's innovative characterization and dramaturgy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRandall Martin, \u003cem\u003eAdjunct Research Professor, University of Western Ontario\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRandall Martin is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of New Brunswick.
