Looking back at objects and habits of a bygone era can give one a feeling of phantom-like unreality. What examples does the author give to bring out this idea?

In order to describe the objects and habits of the bygone era, which is nothing more than unreality to the author, gives the example of the most well-known Elizabethan dramatist Shakespeare. A great writer like him is sitting by the fireplace on his chair, his hand supporting his forehead and the heavens above are showering him with ideas and inspirations. Then she picks up the examples of ‘Whitaker’s Table of Precedency’ to describe this unrealistic phantom. For her traditional ideas of Good and Evil, Devil and God, Hell and Heaven are worthless and depict unreality.
