Shakespeare’s plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Broadening knowledge on early modern education and the theatre scene in London, Darren Freebury-Jones offers a fresh look at the influence of a community of playwrights that helped shape 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 creations.
