Although Shakespeare is acknowledged to be one of the greatest
masters of language the world has known, there are very few books
among the thousands devoted to his work which attempt to deal
directly with how he uses language. No single book could deal with
the 'infinite variety' of tone, diction, imagery, rhythm, and so on
which together make up Shakespeare's different styles. But the
editors of this book asked a number of distinguished Shakespearian
scholars to give an account of what seemed to him or her some
particularly interesting and important feature of Shakespeare's use
of language. Using a quotation from Shakespeare as a starting
point, some authors have focussed their discussion on individual
plays; others have ranged more widely under general headings, such
as bombast, rhetoric or paradox. The cumulative effect will enable
readers, students and theatre-goers to come to a greater awareness
of the richness and subtlety of 'Shakespeare's styles'. The three
editors are senior Shakespeare critics and scholars and they have
all been close associates of Professor Kenneth Muir. It was to
honour the life-long devotion of Kenneth Muir to the study of
Shakespeare, and to pay a tribute to the inspiration and help which
he has given to those who have worked with him, that his new book
was devised.
