If more than half of Shakespeare's texts survive in more than one
version, and an increasing number of his texts appear to have been
co-authored with other playwrights, how do we define what
constitutes a 'Shakespearean text'? Recent studies have proposed
answers to this crucial question by investigating 'memorial
reconstruction' and co-authorship, yet significantly they have not
yet considered properly the many formal and stylistic synergies,
interchanges and reciprocities between oral/memorial and authorial
composition, and the extent to which these factors are traceable in
the surviving playtexts of the period. It is precisely these
synergies that this book investigates, making this site of
interaction between actorly and authorial input its primary focus.
Petersen proposes new quantitative methodologies for approaching
form and style in Shakespearean texts. The book's main case studies
are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Titus Andronicus - plays drawn
from the middle of Shakespeare's working career.
