Did Shakespeare really join John Fletcher to write Cardenio, a lost play based on Don Quixote? 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.
