AB  - Builds on previous scholarship (q.v.) about baited bears in England who competed with plays for trade, fame, and patronage. Provides a long view of the Shakespeare's career, culminating in an analysis of The Winter’s Tale, where the famous stage direction “Exit, pursued by a bear” and the statue of Hermione evolve into the polar opposites and structural pivots of Shakespeare’s art and career arc. English summary, 305.
