The Creation and Re-Creation of Cardenio: Performing Shakespeare, Transforming Cervantes

With an emphasis on the importance of theatrical experiment, a script and photos from Gary Taylor's recent production, and essays by respected early modern scholars, this book will make a definitive statement about the collaborative nature of Cardenio.
