- This monograph positions Shakespeare’s plays from the beginning to the end of his career in relation to plays of his contemporaries dispelling a commonly held belief in Shakespeare’s unique status. Closely analyzing the intertextual relations of some sixty plays, the book offers a sustained investigation of how Shakespeare adapted and creatively re-imagined plays which had already entered the dramatic tradition. In so doing, the book broadens current concepts of source beyond the literary by attending to the overlooked matter of dramaturgy and offers fresh critical insights into Shakespeare’s working methods in a theatre that was competitive and interactive.
