Not Shakespeare: Bardolatry and Burlesque in the Nineteenth Century
Schoch, Richard W. (Queen Mary University of London)
This study of nineteenth-century Shakespeare burlesques explores the paradox that plays which are manifestly 'not Shakespeare' purport to be the most genuinely Shakespearean of all. The book brings together archival research, rare photographs and illustrations, close readings of burlesque scripts and an awareness of theatrical, literary and cultural contexts.
