Arden Student Skills: Language and Writing volumes offer a new type
of study aid that combines lively critical insight with practical
guidance on the 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. Each guide in the series
will empower you to read and write about Shakespeare with increased
confidence and enthusiasm. King Lear: Language and Writing reveals
how the play’s elemental power springs from its language, which
is at once simple, relentless and resonant, as well as from its
full-blown double plot that multiplies unbearably both the follies
and the pain of its protagonists. Chapters explore the play’s
status as a tragedy, its stagecraft, primary source material and
both its textual and theatre history. The ‘Writing Matters’
section at the end of each chapter provides suggestions for
activities that can further enhance your understanding of the play.
This is an indispensable guide to Shakespeare's rich and complex
dramatic language and will improve and develop your critical
writing skills.
