Richard Hillman is Professor of English at the Université François-Rabelais de Tours
Richard Hillman broadens the field of known sources by moving from
'scraps' of plot and language' to more diffuse philosophical or
political influences on three characters, each the product of an
'intertextual bricolage' which accounts for Shakespeare's
'ungrammaticalities'... One emerges quite dazzled by the extent of
Hillman's learning.
Dominique Goy-Blanquet, Times Literary Supplement, 19th October
2012
Hillman breathes renewed life into multiple diverse early modern
French texts, illuminating their resonances with mostly canonical
English works... There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from
Hillman’s deep particular research in French sources—work that will
undoubtedly inspire future inquiry.
Hillman illuminates another elusive corner of Shakespeare's
creative process with this study, representing another incremental
- but certainly important - advancement in Shakespearean
scholarship.
