Literary Twinship From Shakespeare to the Age of Cloning

Summary

Unlike previous efforts that only addressed twinship as a footnote to the doppelganger, this book makes a case for the complexity of literary twinship across the literary spectrum, showing how twins have been instrumental to the formation of comedies of mistaken identity, the detective genre, and dystopian science fiction.
