This book examines conceptions of authority for and in Shakespeare,
and the construction of Shakespeare as literary and cultural
authority. The first section, Defining and Redefining Authority,
begins by re-defining the concept of Shakespeare's sources,
suggesting that 'authorities' and 'resources' are more appropriate
terms. Building on this conceptual framework, the remainder of this
section explores linguistic and discursive authority more broadly.
The second section, Shakespearean Authority, considers the
construction, performance and questioning of authority in
Shakespeare's plays. Essays here range from examinations of
monarchical authority to discussions of household authority,
literary authority and linguistic ownership. The final part,
Shakespeare as Authority, then traces the increasing establishment
of Shakespeare as an authority from the eighteenth to the
twenty-first century in a series of essays that explore
Shakespearean authority for editors, actors, critics, authors,
readers and audiences. The volume concludes with two essays that
reassess Shakespeare as an authority for visual culture - in the
cinema and in contemporary art.
