I picked this up more for the Elizabethan connection than anything else. I think it would help to have a good background in occult studies, something I do not have. I found her connection of certain Elizbethan occult beliefs to Cabbla intersting. My comments are on the literature connection.

I just have to say - Bassanio as a Jew? Nope, sorry. Don't buy it. I'll grant you, Dr. Yates, you made a good agrument. But no, as much as I love Shakespeare; I don't think Merchant was a love poem in ode of Jews.

You might be one to Spenser's strutuce of the fairy queen, and the connections you made between royalty and alcmeny were somewhat interesting.
