Quoting Shakespeare - Form and Culture in Early Modern Drama (Hardcover)

In contrast to the New Historicism's sometimes arbitrary linkage of literary works with elements drawn from the surrounding culture, "Quoting Shakespeare" focuses on the resources that writers used in making their works. Bruster shows how this borrowing can give us valuable insight into the cultural, historical, and political positions of writers and their works. Because Shakespeare's plays have often been quoted by other writers, this study also examines what subsequent uses of Shakespeare's plays reveal about the writers and cultures that use them. In this way, "Quoting Shakespeare" insists that literary production and reception are both integral to a historical approach to literature.
