He is a Fellow of the British Academy and a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. Vickers's scholarly contributions include in-depth analyses of Shakespeare's collaborations with other playwrights. His seminal work, Shakespeare, Co-Author: A Historical Study of Five Collaborative Plays, examines the Bard's joint authorship in plays such as Titus Andronicus, Timon of Athens, Pericles, Henry VIII, and The Two Noble Kinsmen. In addition to his research on collaboration, Vickers has edited critical volumes like William Shakespeare: The Critical Heritage Volume 2 1693-1733, which compiles contemporary responses to Shakespeare's work during that period. His book Returning to Shakespeare addresses the unity of form and meaning in Shakespeare's plays and traces the history of their reception. Throughout his illustrious career, Vickers has significantly influenced the field of literary studies, particularly in understanding Shakespeare's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance literature. His rigorous scholarship continues to shape contemporary interpretations of classical texts.. Very Good- in Good dust jacket .
