Description: In Shakespeare's Language Keith Johnson offers an overview of the rich and dynamic history of the reception and study of Shakespeare's language from his death right up to the present. Tracing a chronological history of Shakespeare's language Keith Johnson also picks up on classic and contemporary themes such as: lexical and digital studies original pronunciation rhetoric grammar. The historical approach provides a comprehensive overview plotting the attitudes towards Shakespeare's language as well as a history of its study. This approach reveals how different cultural and literary trends have moulded these attitudes and reflects changing linguistic climates; the book also includes a chapter that looks to the future. Shakespeare's Language is therefore not only an essential guide to the language of Shakespeare but it offers crucial insights to broader approaches to language as a whole.
