  Really respect the theological and historical sensitivity here. &nbsp;May I recommend Ted Hughes&apos; Shakespere deep dive: SHAKESPEARE AND THE GODDESS OF COMPLETE BEING.<br>Also sensitive to the inner mythic, civil war started in the psyche of the English soul by the Reformation.

  I love all of Shakespeare&apos;s Romances. My favorite is Cymbeline (which has touches of The Decameron but used to more serious purpose). The themes of forgiveness and resurrection belong to Shakespeare&apos;s mature years. And as I grow older, the Romances offer comfort and hope.

  THanks for your thoghts. &nbsp;This is one of my favorite plays, enchanting. But I&apos;ve never really read it with care. And too long since I&apos;ve read it..

  I tend to read what ensued in intellectual development what began in literary and mythological sources. The immediacy of the moment tends to get effaced from my knowing but that&apos;s my problem.

  Hi Dr. Walker! About a month ago, I emailed you about a poem I recently wrote, I hadn&apos;t attached it yet, just wanted to check if you might be interested in reading it. No pressure at all, just leaving a little reminder here because your way of reading poetry has really stayed with me.
