The Influence of Greene on Shakspere's Early Romance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2020
Extract
In an attempt to discuss the influence of Greene on Shakspere, there are two points to be determined: first, what were the distinct characteristics of Greene's romantic comedy, and second, which of these appear in Shakspere's work in such a way as to suggest indebtedness to Greene? To ascertain either of these, preceding and contemporaneous comedy and the sources of the works of both dramatists must, of course, be taken into consideration.
