The book examines the distinction between revision and rewriting in Early New English literature, analysing over 50 poems and plays from the sixteenth to seventeenth century.

Based on linguistic–statistical analysis, Tarlinskaya suggests that Shakespeare needed a poem to round off his 1609 sonnet sequence and, having neither the time nor the inclination to compose one from scratch, he revised an earlier work from the 1590s by a now-forgotten author, adding vocabulary characteristic of his later plays. -- .
