This collection of linked essays centres on the power of "will and testament" in Shakespeare's writing. Adopting a broadly new historicist perspective, the book touches on theoretical questions of authorship, intentionality and the "disappearance" of the historical Shakespeare in modernist criticism. The focus of the book is the relation of "high" theory to "low" archives.
