Shakespeare in the Marketplace of Words

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

Couverture de l’ouvrage Shakespeare in the Marketplace of Words
This book explores the words, forms, and styles Shakespeare used to interact with the verbal marketplace of early modern England.
Making innovative use of digital and library archives, this book explores how Shakespeare used language to interact with the verbal marketplace of early modern England. By also combining word history with book history, Jonathan P. Lamb demonstrates Shakespeare's response to the world of words around him, in and through the formal features of his works. In chapters that focus on particular rhetorical features in Richard II, The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Hamlet, and Troilus and Cressida, Lamb argues that we can best understand Shakespeare's writing practice by scrutinizing how the formal features of his works circulated in an economy of imaginative writing. Shakespeare's interactions with this verbal market preceded and made possible his reputation as a playwright and dramatist. He was, in his time, a great buyer and seller of words.
1. Shakespeare's writing practice: value, exchange, and the work of form; 2. The stylistic self in Richard II; 3. Portia's laboratory: The Merchant of Venice and the new science; 4. The medium and the message: As You Like It; 5. Hamlet's parenthesis; 6. Shakespeare rewords Chaucer: Troilus and Cressida; Conclusion.
Jonathan P. Lamb is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Kansas. His work has appeared in Huntington Library Quarterly, Studies in Philology, and Medieval and Renaissance Drama.
