Shakespeare's English: A Practical Linguistic Guide provides
students with a solid grounding for understanding the language of
Shakespeare and its place within the development of English. With a
prime focus on Shakespeare and his works, Keith Johnson covers all
aspects of his language (vocabulary, grammar, sounds, rhetorical
structure etc.), and gives illuminating background information on
the linguistic context of the Elizabethan Age. As well as providing
a unique introduction to the subject, Johnson encourages a
"hands-on" approach, guiding students, through the use of
activities, towards an understanding of how Shakespeare's English
works. This book offers: * A unique approach to the study of Early
Modern English which enables students to engage independently with
the topic * Clear and engagingly written explanations of linguistic
concepts * Plentiful examples and activities, including suggestions
for further work * A glossary, further reading suggestions and
guidance to relevant websites Shakespeare's English is perfect for
undergraduate students following courses that combine English
language, linguistics and literature, or anyone with an interest in
knowing more about the language with which Shakespeare worked his
literary magic.
