Fergusson explores analogous themes from several Shakespearean plays and parts of Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e. These themes are romantic love and faith in it; treachery and its recognition; a commonsense view of secular government and a belief in the necessity of right rule for right government; and poetry as evidence of things not seen and its relation to religious belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancis Fergusson was the University Professor of Comparative Literature at Rutgers University.
