Description

Shakespeare was easily the most inventive writer using the English language.

His plays give us intricacies of vocabulary and usage that have enriched us immeasurably.

This book provides a series of analytical essays on the marginalia relating to the plays.

Each of them is a searching and authoritative account, packed with details, of some of the more peculiar conditions under which Shakespeare and his peers composed their playbooks.

Among the essays are two completely new contributions.

Altogether they reveal fresh details about the input of the playing companies, playhouses, individual players and even their controller, the Revels Office, to the complex fragments that we now have of the Shakespearean world.

Gurr examines Shakespeare's own choice between playwriting and poetry, the requirements of working in a playhouse that wraps itself around the stage, and its impact on the creation of such figures as Henry V, Shylock, Isabella, King Lear and Coriolanus.
