Arden Student Guides: Language and Writing offer a new type of
study aid which combines lively critical insight with practical
guidance on the critical writing skills you need to develop in
order to engage fully with Shakespeare's texts. The books' core
focus is on language: both understanding and enjoying Shakespeare's
complex dramatic language, and expanding your own critical
vocabulary, as you respond to his plays. Key features include: * an
introduction considering when and how the play was written,
addressing the language with which Shakespeare created his work, as
well as the generic, literary and theatrical conventions at his
disposal * detailed examination and analysis of the individual
text, focusing on its literary, technical and historical
intricacies * discussion of performance history and the critical
reception of the work * a 'Writing matters' section in every
chapter, clearly linking the analysis of Shakespeare's language to
your own writing strategies in coursework and examinations Written
by world-class academics with both scholarly insight and
outstanding teaching skills, each guide will empower you to read
and write about Shakespeare with increased confidence and
enthusiasm. Shakespeare's The Tempest is among the most
widely-admired works of literature. More than any other Shakespeare
play, it has lent itself to rewriting and is among the most
'metadramatic' of Shakespeare's works, pondering the value of
creating worlds with words.
