For centuries, the figure of Shakespeare has stood as the West's supreme emblem of literary genius — singular, inexhaustible, self-originating. Now, a researcher's careful alignment of Cymbeline with the earlier writings of Thomas North invites us to reconsider what genius truly means: not the conjuring of something from nothing, but the transformation of inherited material into something that transcends its origins. The question is not whether Shakespeare borrowed, but what borrowing tells us about the stories we tell of greatness itself.
