Clear mirrors and The Geneva Bible revolutionary innovations of the Elizabethan age, inspired Shakespeare's drive towards a new purpose for drama. Shakespeare reversed the conventional mirror metaphor for drama, implying drama cannot reflect the substance of human nature, and developed a method of characterization, through metadrama, self-awareness and soliloquy, to project St. Paul's idea of conscience onto the Elizabethan stage. This revolutionary method of characterization, aesthetic existence beyond performance, has long been sensed but remains frustratingly uncategorized. Shakespeare's Mirrors charts the invention of a drama that staged the unstageable: St. Paul's metaphysical conception of human nature glimpsed through a looking glass darkly.
