Book Description:
In this thought-provoking work, David Farley-Hills presents the argument that Shakespeare was not a lone genius, but rather a playwright who responded to the commercial and artistic pressures of his time. Through a critical analysis of seven of Shakespeare’s plays—Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, All’s Well That Ends Well, Othello, Measure for Measure, Timon of Athens, and King Lear—Farley-Hills explores how Shakespeare’s works were shaped by the competitive environment created by his contemporaries and rivals.
Farley-Hills offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare’s plays, emphasizing how these works were not created in isolation but in response to the challenges and expectations set by other playwrights of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras.
