Darren Freebury-Jones Shakespeare's Borrowed Feathers

Shakespeare’s plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Using the latest techniques in textual analysis, the Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies at the Birthplace Trust offers a fresh look at the influence of a community of playwrights that shaped the Bard’s work, and exposes a need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another’s work.
