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. -- .
