David Crystal, one of the foremost authorities on the English language, explores Shakespeare's language. With figures & tables. Includes appendix, notes, references & further reading, plus index. From rear cover: "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? How did he manipulate language to produce such an unrivalled body of work, which has enthralled generations both as theatre and as literature? David Crystal addresses these and many other questions in this lively and original introduction to Shakespeare's language. Covering in turn the five main dimensions of language structure - writing system, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and conversational style - the book shows how examining these linguistic 'nuts and bolts' can help us achieve a greater appreciation of Shakespeare's linguistic creativity". Printed in the USA. Remainder mark to top edge of book block, otherwise a FINE very nice clean tight solid softcover copy. xii + 254pp. SB-19.
