The power of Shakespeare's complex language - his linguistic
playfulness, poetic diction and dramatic dialogue - inspires and
challenges students, teachers, actors and theatre-goers across the
globe. It has iconic status and enormous resonance, even as
language change and the distance of time render it more opaque and
difficult. The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare's Language
provides important contexts for understanding Shakespeare's
experiments with language and offers accessible approaches to
engaging with it directly and pleasurably. Incorporating both
practical analysis and exemplary readings of Shakespearean
passages, it covers elements of style, metre, speech action and
dialogue; examines the shaping contexts of rhetorical education and
social language; test-drives newly available digital methodologies
and technologies; and considers Shakespeare's language in relation
to performance, translation and popular culture. The Companion
explains the present state of understanding while identifying
opportunities for fresh discovery, leaving students equipped to ask
productive questions and try out innovative methods.
