Shakespeare’s essential greatness is clarified by placing his plays in the broad context of sacred art and showing his preoccupation with the quest for human perfection and the mystery of sanctification. In The Secret of Shakespeare, Martin Ling "says more to reveal the quintessence of Shakespeare’s greatness than the most laborious exposition could ever do." – Kathleen Raine
