Abstract:

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.
