First published in 1973, this book is about Shakespeare, language
and drama. The first part introduces some common ideas of
anthropology and linguistics into an area where they serve as a
base for the discussion of usually literary matters. It attempts to
link language to our experience of speech - examining its range,
texture, and social functions. In part two, the author argues that
in Elizabethan culture there was a greater investment in the
complexities and demands of speech due to the widespread illiteracy
of the time. It examines eight of Shakespeare's plays, together
with one of Ben Jonson's, in light of their concern with various
aspects of the role of spoken language in society.
