For decades, people have been studying Shakespeare''s life and times and in recent years there has been a renewed surge of interest in aspects of his language. So how can we better understand Shakespeare? David Crystal provides a lively and original introduction to Shakespeare''s language, making his plays easily accessible to modern-day audiences. Covering the five main dimensions of language structure - writing system, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and conversational style - this book demonstrates how examining these linguistic ''nuts and bolts'' can help us achieve a greater appreciation of Shakespeare''s linguistic creativity.
Industry Reviews
