Semi-colon

Hi, guys, I was wondering if you could let me know whether I've used the semi-colon correctly in the following sentence.

Nevertheless, having now discussed Cary and Cavendish together, I will now devote time to considering each text in relation to these issues of social authority and gender blurring; beginning with The Tragedy of Mariam.

Thanks in advance!

No, use a comma. A semi-co;on needs to be followed by a clause that can stand alone. I suggest this.
