- Exceptionally well-reviewed at publication, this study, published in hardback and paperback by OUP, is a major monograph in its field. The original claim – which is compellingly evidenced – is that Shakespeare revised his own works, the context for his doing so being the relationship his acting company shared with the courts of Elizabeth I and James I. There is genuine rigour in terms the author’s authoritative command of theatre history and editorial history and extraordinary knowledge of other plays and performance cultures. Overall, the book is a challengingly original explanation for the multiple versions of many Shakespeare plays.
