- Description
- Explores how in each of two Shakespearean plays "there is a co-authorship with a past author": Gower in "Pericles" and Chaucer in "The Two Noble Kinsmen." Argues that the presentation of Chaucer as a source in the prologue in "Kinsmen" engages concern with procreation and authorship, and presens Chaucer as a "pure and noble breeder" of literature and a "diachronic co-author" with Shakespeare and Fletcher.
