Description

Understanding Shakespeare's plays requires knowledge of the source stories and their evolution through literary history. When Renaissance writers including Shakespeare retold existing narratives, they engaged in intellectual dialogue with earlier authors, building upon the cultural meanings already embedded in those tales. The stories Shakespeare drew upon carried substantial historical and cultural significance that shaped his dramatic compositions. This Routledge Medieval and Renaissance Library volume explores the alternative versions and literary traditions that informed Shakespeare's creative process, revealing how his plays participated in ongoing conversations with the works that preceded them. Readers gain insight into the layers of meaning Shakespeare inherited and transformed, enhancing comprehension of his plays' themes, characters and dramatic structures.
