Through expert guidance on understanding, interpreting, and writing
about Shakespeare's language, this book makes The Winter's Tale
accessible and exciting for students. It demonstrates that careful
attention to Shakespeare's complex dramatic language can clarify
the structure and concerns of the play, as well as provide deep and
satisfying engagement with the social, political and ethical
questions Shakespeare raises. Each chapter features a 'Writing
Matters' section designed to connect analysis of Shakespeare's
language to students' development of their own writing strategies.
The book examines topics in the play such as tragicomic genre;
women's assertion of social and political agency; obedience and
resistance to rulers; the virtues and risks of following festivity,
and disputes over the proper forms of religious devotion.
