The use of Italian culture in the Jacobean theatre was never an
isolated gesture. In considering the ideological repercussions of
references to Italy in prominent works by Shakespeare and his
contemporaries, Michael J. Redmond argues that early modern
intertextuality was a dynamic process of allusion, quotation, and
revision. Beyond any individual narrative source, Redmond
foregrounds the fundamental role of Italian textual precedents in
the staging of domestic anxieties about state crisis, nationalism,
and court intrigue. By focusing on the self-conscious, overt
rehearsal of existing texts and genres, the book offers a new
approach to the intertextual strategies of early modern English
political drama. The pervasive circulation of Cinquecento political
theorists like Machiavelli, Castiglione, and Guicciardini combined
with recurrent English representations of Italy to ensure that the
negotiation with previous writing formed an integral part of the
dramatic agendas of period plays.
