A practical approach to breaking through the barriers of restraint
and incomprehension when faced with Shakespeare. Taking many of the
techniques explored in her international bestseller Freeing The
Natural Voice, in this companion volume Kristin Linklater shows how
to apply them to the exploration and speaking of Shakespeare's
language. Beginning with exercises designed to break long-held
habits and allow an emotional rather than intellectual relationship
to Elizabethan language, she analyses Shakespeare's strategies for
creating character, story and meaning through figures of speech,
iambic pentameter, rhyme and the alternation of verse and prose.
Using copious examples from the plays, Linklater offers her readers
the tools to increase understanding and make Shakespeare's words
their own.
