Geoffrey Bullough’s The Narrative and Dramatic Sources of
Shakespeare (1957-75) established a vocabulary and a method for
linking Shakespeare’s plays with a series of texts on which they
were thought to be based. Shakespeare’s Resources revisits and
interrogates the methodology that has prevailed since then and
proposes a number of radical departures from Bullough’s model.
The tacitly accepted linear model of ‘source’ and
‘influence’ that critics and scholars have wrestled with is
here reconceptualised as a dynamic process in which texts interact
and generate meanings that domesticated versions of intertextuality
do not adequately account for. The investigation uncovers questions
of exactly how Shakespeare ‘read’, what he read, the practical
conditions in which narratives were encountered, and how he
re-deployed earlier versions that he had used in his later work. --
