- Description
- Revisits the "authorship question" of "The Two Noble Kinsmen," exploring not what was composed by Shakespeare or by Fletcher, but rather the social tensions between characters found in KnT, the play's source, and those nameless ones of the "Jailer's group" introduced into the plot. Suggests that the disjunctions of the play be understood "as a metanarrative of the creative process in the shadow of a great precursor poet," Chaucer.
