Love your analysis and lectures

I saw in the comments in a previous video that you got into a car accident. I hope you get better. You are one of the few Humanities professors that is pushing back against the hard postmodern bent of so many English professors. Before coming across your work I thought liberal arts departments were beyond saving, now I know that there are some in the field working hard to save it from consuming itself.

I see why you think Shakespeare isn’t Prospero, he warns fernando not to fornicate with Miranda or be cursed… which Shakespeare himself did with Ann Hathaway… unless Florio is Shakespeare which I m increasingly coming to believe.

Unrelated question but do you have advice on how to read Shakespeare’s history plays? I have little issue getting into the tragedies and comedies but the histories are particularly difficult. I’ve just started reading Henry IV part 1 and I’m not really seeing where the story is going so far. I did read Richard II first so I don’t think it’s continuity I’m missing. Also what is your opinion on the novels that uses stream of consciousness. It l think it’s very boring yet my English professor keeps assigning them. It just feels like I’m reading hundreds of pages of people thinking without anything really happening.
