Have you ever wondered why Cordelia has to die? Or how Alonso talks and walks about the isle while his body lies 'full fathom five' on the sea floor? Ever wondered why the monument to Shakespeare in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon names three pagans: Nestor, Socrates, and Virgil - king, philosopher, and poet? Or why Shakespeare is on Olympus, home of the Greek gods? This interdisciplinary study, the first to interpret the plays of Shakespeare in the light of the esoteric religious doctrines of the Corpus Hermeticum, holds answers to these and other puzzling questions.

Autorenporträt
Jane Everingham Nelson, B.A. (Syd), M.Ed. (Flinders), M.A., Ph.D. (2019) (University of Adelaide). Her master's thesis, What Doctrine Call You This? An Inquiry into Christopher Marlowe, Doctor Faustus and Hermetic Thought 1583-1593, published online in 2012, paved the way for her research into religious Hermetism and the dangerous politico-religious climate in which Shakespeare wrote.
