内容説明

This book aims to increase the pleasure of studying Shakespeare, working with the plays as the craftsman-dramatist himself worked by concentrating on poetic detail and dramatic moments. The book offers an accessible nuts-and-bolts approach in steadily broadening focus: from the way lines and speeches are put together to such large concerns as genre distinctions and the representation of gender. Eleven plays are introduced in chronological order, nine of them reappearing in later chapters in order to illustrate further topics. Comparisons draw on alternative texts, subsequent adaptations and excerpts on the same subjects from works in other literary genres. Appendices to each chapter provide materials for further exercises. A linked aim is to help students form an independent relation to existing commentary. Running through the book is an evaluative history, with generous quotations, of both traditional criticism and the revolutionary approaches of recent years. Contents: Preface and acknowledgements; Introduction; Voices; Words; Speeches; Scenes; Gender, Genre and Grabbing; Notes; Bibliography; Index.

内容説明

This new student text provides an accessible "nuts and bolts" approach to language and structure, focusing on the ways Shakespeare puts phrases, lines, speeches and scenes together. Emphasis is placed on detailed close readings of 'Henry IV","King Lear", "Richard II", "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet", "Antony and Cleopatra", "The Winter's Tale", "Macbeth" and "Coriolanus". However, commentaries also introduce ideas both from traditional criticism and from recent linguistic and post-structuralist theory. Students are encouraged to develop their knowledge of plays in chronological order, side-by-side with analytic skills in steadily broadening focus (from how a line hangs together to gender issues and genre distinctions). Prominent in the commentaries are comparisons with alternative texts, later adaptations, or excerpts on the same subjects from literary genres other than drama. In chapter appendices, the author provides raw materials for other comparative exercises. A full, annotated guide to further reading is also provided.
