Book Synopsis
Intends to reconstruct Shakespeare's authorial identity as Shakespeare and his contemporaries actually understood it. This title argues that Shakespeare tried to adapt his own singular talent and ambition to the collaborative enterprise of drama by imagining himself as uniquely embodying the diverse, fractious energies of the popular theater.

Trade Review
"Overturns the new historicist position that authorial production by a singular individual is a mid-18th-century notion.... Essential." (Choice)"
