No, and I’m a bit uneasy about that sort of stuff anyway, because it seems a rather intrusive way of handling someone’s work, even if that person has been dead for hundreds of years. Psychoanalytic reading of the characters in a work is fine, but not the author, not unless they’re on the couch by choice, so to speak. (In my opinion.)
