Description
Shakespeare's Ghost Writers Literature as Uncanny Causality by Marjorie Garber is an in-depth examination of the authorship controversy surrounding Shakespeare's plays. The book delves into the idea that the plays were ghost written, exploring how the dead hand of Shakespeare continues to influence contemporary culture. Garber examines the concept of ghosts in Shakespeare's works, including absences, erasures, and forgeries, which are also present in the figure of Shakespeare himself. She asks what is at stake in attributing the plays to a single author and shows that the plays both thematize and theorize this controversy. By tracing the connections between Shakespeare's works and the ideas of influential thinkers such as Derrida, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud, Garber sheds new light on the enduring impact of Shakespeare's legacy.
