Summary
In the Conclusion, discussion concentrates upon the ways in which Shakespeare himself was reintroduced onto the stages of Britain and Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by succeeding generations of dramatists and librettists. By this period, Shakespeare was being identified as a highly lucrative commodity in which to invest and was seen progressively to adopt the unaccustomed identities of ghost, lover, domestic patriarch, theatre impressario and political activist for the entertainment of the paying public across Europe.
