Investigating the litarary and cultural history and significance of the holy fool, Sandra Pyle analysizes seven of Shakespeare's plays in order to discover how he adapted what was a generic (medieval) character type. Pyle then theorizes that the holy fool's mission in Shakespeare's plays is to promote harmony and good will by correcting those personality flaws that impede human community.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 251-258) and index.
