I was born in Canada and educated in England, at the University of East Anglia where I became a Shakespearean. In my writing career I developed a neo-Romantic approach that allowed me to explain, among other things, how Shakespeare could evolve out of his deep tragic period into his triumphant late plays (sometimes called "romances"). Naturally, this neo-Romantic position drew me more and more intensively also into the study of Romantic and post-Romantic literature, and the result was a series of studies collected under the title "On Nature and the Goddess". Because of my background I was also able to refer this literature back to Shakespeare who now became a measure and touchstone of what many authors were claiming is possible in our relationship to Nature and the Goddess.
