Marjorie Garber

Shakespeare's Ghost Writers

Literature as Uncanny Causality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presents an examination of the authorship controversy surrounding Shakespeare: the claim made repeatedly that the plays were ghost written. This title asks what is at stake in the imputation that 'Shakespeare' did not write the plays, and shows that the plays themselves both thematize and theorize that controversy.
