Reviews

Vickers provides a marvelous review of standard Elizabethan stage practices ... The intelligence and marvelous erudition of this fine book are complemented by a fine and clear prose style ... This rich monograph is a pleasure to read and ponder, from beginning to end. The Virginia Quarterly Review Brian Vickers has brought clarity to the old and hotly debated question of Shakespeare's work with co-authors. As a result changes will be made in some future editions of Shakespeare ... Vickers's book also gives a good sense of the opposing forces in the co-authorship debate. The New York Times ... a major re-examination not just of the collaborative plays but of multiple authorship in Renaissance drama generally. Historical as well as critical, [Vickers's] survey exposes the ignorance of many a modern editor and commentator ... His book is a major event - and at a very fair price. English Studies
