Description: There have been several attempts to explore Shakespeare's debt to Erasmus, notably Waiter Kaiser's in Praisers of Folly (1964), which concentrates on the figure of Falstaff. But on account of the Christian-Classical tradition both writers share, and on account also of Erasmus's widespread influence in the sixteenth century, direct borrowing is generally hard or impossible to prove.
