Literature, Satire and the Early Stuart State (review)
lyzed plays that deserve the kind of sustained, serious attention she gives them here. The book is full of valuable suggestions about what joint authorship might mean for the individual plays studied, setting a foundation for further study in this arena. Hirschfeld’s project indeed directs us to pause before the period’s collaboratively authored plays, and meditate on what it meant, in a professional sense and thematic and psychological sense, for early modern playwrights to join their efforts.
