Annotation:
	By questioning the authorship of the plays attributed to Shakespeare, finds that Roland Emmerich's Anonymous (q.v.) inadvertently yet profoundly explores the concept of authorship itself by adhering to a non-performative model of authorship so absolute that it removes the human body from the action of composition. Concludes that the film's representation of Edward de Vere functions as a surrogate for the revisionist historian, demonstrating how the desire to refashion the past exists as a desperately theatricalized act.
