Summary:
"Shakespeare's Imitations examines, in four plays by Shakespeare,
scenes and other elements (characters, speeches, incidental actions)
that strongly resemble other materials within these same plays and to
some extent outside them. The book represents these scenes as models
and their imitations, images and their reflections, originals and
copies, the things that are imitated and the things that imitate
them, and it does so within the context of classical and Renaissance
theories of imitation. It argues that an imitation does not merely
repeat its model, it completes and deciphers it: the model, that is,
can begin to be understood fully only after its imitation is
apprehended as an interpretation of it. But the connection is
entirely reciprocal, for the original also imitates and interprets
its copy."--BOOK JACKET.
