Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeares Language is the first comprehensive account of Shakespeares language to use computational methods derived from corpus linguistics methods of choice for today's historical linguist. This third volume focuses on keywords in Shakespeare's plays. Play keywords are derived by conducting a statistical comparison between the words in one play with those in all the other plays. For characters, the statistical comparison is made between the vocabulary of one character and that of all the other characters in the same play. These keywords are then used to create 'linguistic profiles' of each play and main character. The profiles show how patterns of words around keywords contribute to themes in plays and characterization of the protagonists. For example, we reveal how the simple word Goodnight contributes to dramatic tension in Julius Caesar, or how in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's most distinctive yet apparently innocuous words, if, yet and but, create an important aspect of her character. Part of a landmark reference series detailing and illuminating Shakespeare's rich language through the tools of corpus linguistics, this volume is the first work to provide linguistic profiles of Shakespeares plays and characters. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book seeks to invert Ben Jonsons claim that Shakespeare had small Latin and less Greek and to prove that, in fact, there is more Greek and less Latin in a significant group of Shakespeares texts: a group whose generic hybridity (tragic-comical-historical-romance) exemplifies the hybridity of Greece in the early modern imagination. To early modern England, Greece was an enigma. It was the origin and idealised pinnacle of Western philosophy, tragedy, democracy, heroic human endeavour and, at the same time, an example of decadence: a fallen state, currently under Ottoman control, and therefore an exotic, dangerous, Other in the most disturbing senses of the word. Indeed, while Britain was struggling to establish itself as a nation state and an imperial authority by emulating classical Greek models, this ambition was radically unsettled by early modern Greeces subjection to the Ottoman Empire, which rendered Europes eastern borders dramatically vulnerable. Focusing, for the first time, on Shakespeares Greek texts (Venus and Adonis, The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Love's Labours Lost, Troilus and Cressida, Timon of Athens, King Lear, Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen), the volume considers how Shakespeares use of antiquity and Greek myth intersects with early modern perceptions of the country and its empire.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The concepts of trust and risk provide important insights into the social and cultural life of early modern England but remain relatively unexplored in early modern literary studies. This collection addresses that gap by exploring a wide range of literary genres and texts including comic drama, lyric verse, emblem books, ledgers, wills, polemical prose and religious epic. Contributors explore issues of personal trust through the faith and lies that characterize Shakespeares sonnets, Donnes sermons and Miltons Paradise Lost. Following the idea of trust and risk into community brings us to a discussion of The Merry Wives of Windsor, the spiritual trust of faith communities and the network of relationships that are traceable though surviving records of womens wills. Following this progression outwards from the personal to the communal, the final essays in the collection consider the role of institutional trust, specifically the early modern obsession with credit in its various guises. The Merchant of Venice, Volpone and The Winters Tale act as illustrative examples of credits significance for understanding trust and risk in the early modern period. Taken together the range of texts and genres considered reveal new insights into early modern English literature and its socio-economic context. Explores the role of trust and risk to personal, communal and institutional relationships in early modern English texts. This item is printed on demand.
