Classical Rhetoric, the art of persuasion, formed the sum and
substance of Shakespeare’s education and was the basis of his
understanding of the power of language and how it worked to move,
delight and teach. Rhetoric, which seeks to explain the way that
language works to influence others, provides a powerful,
transformative tool for approaching text in performance. This book
helps you understand the key concepts of rhetoric. It gives clear
explanations, stripped of jargon, and examples of rhetorical
technique in the plays. It also provides engaging, practical
exercises to unlock character and to identify themes in the plays
through the lens of rhetoric. Academically rigorous, based on more
than a decade of practical experience in the use of rhetoric in
drama at the highest level, it is an ideal companion for anyone
engaging with Shakespeare in performance.
