520    "If more than half of Shakespeare's texts survive in more 
       than one version, and an increasing number of his texts 
       appear to have been co-authored with other playwrights, 
       how do we define what constitutes a 'Shakespearean text'? 
       Recent studies have proposed answers to this crucial 
       question by investigating 'memorial reconstruction' and co
       -authorship, yet significantly they have not yet 
       considered properly the many formal and stylistic 
       synergies, interchanges and reciprocities between oral/
       memorial and authorial composition, and the extent to 
       which these factors are traceable in the surviving 
       playtexts of the period. It is precisely these synergies 
       that this book investigates, making this site of 
       interaction between actorly and authorial input its 
       primary focus. Petersen proposes new quantitative 
       methodologies for approaching form and style in 
       Shakespearean texts. The book's main case studies are 
       Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Titus Andronicus - plays 
       drawn from the middle of Shakespeare's working career"--
