In revealing patterns of you/thou use in Shakespeare's plays, this
study highlights striking and significant shifts from one to the
other. Penelope Freedman demonstrates that understanding of the
implications of you/thou use in early modern English has been
bedevilled by overconcern with issues of power and status, and her
careful research, analysing all the plays, reveals how a fuller
understanding of Shakespeare's usage can provide a key to unlock
puzzles of motive and character, and a glass to clarify
relationships and emotions. The work focuses particularly on
dialogue between men and women, and sheds new light on male and
female language use. The scholarship presented in this volume is
augmented with tables and a glossary of linguistic terms.
