Thomas Dabbs speaks with Darren Freebury-Jones, Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, about his two recent books: ‘Reading Robert Greene’ and ’Shakespeare’s Tutor: The Influence of Thomas Kyd'. Along with providing a fresh view of two playwrights that deserve much more of our attention, both books explore new ways to understand creative collaboration among young, aspiring playwrights, particularly during Shakespeare's early years as a dramatist in London.

TD does such a good job of giving serious S-speare folks exposure. Thank you!

The Stratford narrative continues to crumble. We are getting closer to the truth with discussions like this.

Great interview.

Thanks Thomas for providing again the most valuable ongoing series for laymen to follow current research in things Shakespearean. Darren is pulling all the most interesting threads right now, am excited to see how he weaves them into a single fabric. Neither of you appear to be aware of the work of Peter Bull on Groatsworth - he pretty convincingly argues that the Upstart Crow is Ned Alleyn, which actually aligns well with the collaborative scene for early 1590s playwriting Darren describes.

@Jeffhowardmeade Год назад

Greene (or Chettle) was addressing fellow poets. In this context "...supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you" refers to writing, not performing. With no contemporary evidence that Alleyn was a poet in addition to being a player, there is no way to conclude that he is the "upstart crow". In addition, he was, by the time of Greene's death, the foremost actor in the leading company in England. Referring to him as an "upstart" would have been wholly inappropriate. Expecting any Shakespeare scholar to pay attention to Shakespeare deniers is...optimistic.

@@Jeffhowardmeade Bombast is stuffing used to pad doublets. To bombast blank verse is to pad it out, a practice Alleyn was accused of in order to give himself more lines as the star of the Admiral's men. The primary accusation against the Crow was usury. We have records of Alleyn's lending to actors and writers in this time including to Greene. Alleyn's family ran an Inn called the Pie (for Magpie, a corvid which was on its sign) which was a hangout for actors and writers as it was next to Fisher's Folly where several lived and just down the street from the Theater and Curtain. All of which you would know if you had read Bull's peer reviewed paper in a reputable journal. The identification with Shakespeare is preposterous for any number of reasons, as is the recent Godman claim that it is supported by Comedy of Errors. Both give Shakespeare a level of importance that is inconsistent with his presumed biography at the time.

Anyone know affordable collections of the works of Greene, Kyd, etc...?

For me, as a serious student of literature, art, S-speare and a writer adapting a S-speare play - these kinds of discussions and research are immediately useful. To me, biographical and topics like "thought processes" and why/how art is done are wasteful and pop culture myths.
