Shakespeare the Reviser: A Lover’s Complaint

The book examines the distinction between revision and rewriting in Early New English literature, analysing over 50 poems and plays from the sixteenth to seventeenth century. Focusing on A Lover’s Complaint, Double Falsehood, and adaptations of Richard II and The Duchess of Malfi, it explores how texts evolved through revision and reinterpretation.
