Shakespeare's tutor: The influence of Thomas Kyd adds to the
critical and scholarly discussion that seeks to establish the early
modern playwright Thomas Kyd's dramatic canon, and indicates where
and how Kyd contributed to the development of Shakespeare's drama
through influence, collaboration, revision and adaptation. A
further, complementary aim of the book is to demonstrate various
ways in which it is possible to combine statistical analysis with
reading plays as literary and performative works. The book
summarises, extends, and corrects all of the scholarship on Kyd's
authorship of anonymous plays, and reveals the remarkable extent to
which Shakespeare was influenced by his dramatic predecessor. The
book represents a significant intervention in the field of early
modern authorship studies and aims to revolutionise our
understanding of Shakespeare's dramatic development. -- .
