Greek playwrites, Shakespeare, the Arthurian romances, the troubadours ... Dante, of course. In the world that Shakespeare was writing, audiences would have been more suspicious of innovation in storytelling, pretty much the opposite to the usual attitude of today
And let's not forget there's also a big argument for the Aeneid being basically a fanfic of the Homeric epics.
