Publisher Description Argues that the Essais of Montaigne were a crucial factor in the composition of later Shakespearean dramaAnew way of accounting for the different sorts of plays that Shakespeare wrote later in his careerAdetailed history of the literary-critical interest in the Montaigne-Shakespeare connection, from the eighteenth century to the present dayCase studies that, through sustained close-readings of Montaignes essays and Shakespeares plays, shows the shared concerns of the authorsAnew approach that differs from the more typical method of looking merely for verbal echoes, resulting in a deeper, richer sense of the way that Shakespeares reading of Montaigne shaped his writingIn this revisionist study, Peter G. Platt provides a detailed history of the literary-critical interest in the MontaigneShakespeare connection from the eighteenth century to the present day.
