Shakespeare was easily the most inventive writer using the English
language. His plays give us intricacies of vocabulary and usage
that have enriched us immeasurably. This book provides a series of
analytical essays on the marginalia relating to the plays. Each of
them is a searching and authoritative account, packed with details,
of some of the more peculiar conditions under which Shakespeare and
his peers composed their playbooks. Among the essays are two
completely new contributions. Altogether they reveal fresh details
about the input of the playing companies, playhouses, individual
players and even their controller, the Revels Office, to the
complex fragments that we now have of the Shakespearean world. Gurr
examines Shakespeare's own choice between playwriting and poetry,
the requirements of working in a playhouse that wraps itself around
the stage, and its impact on the creation of such figures as Henry
V, Shylock, Isabella, King Lear and Coriolanus.
