In our culture, Shakespeare's works are classics and his characters
have achieved mythical status. But what did William Shakespeare
consider to be the great myths and classics? And who were the
empowering role models for his bold and unforgettable heroines? In
plays and poems throughout his career, Shakespeare explored many
facets of the divine feminine, including Greek and Roman
goddesses—he nearly deified Queen Elizabeth. His characters
frequently refer to classical goddesses, some plays feature literal
appearances of goddesses onstage, and the goddess of love starred
in his epic poem Venus and Adonis. Shakespeare's Goddess explores
the poet's many representations of the divine feminine, as a
pantheon of individual deities, and also as diverse manifestations
of a single, multifaceted goddess. This thoroughly researched
sequel to Supernatural Shakespeare: Magic and Ritual in Merry Old
England will appeal to scholars, but its playful and engaging tone
also makes it accessible to anyone who appreciates Shakespeare.
