Lynette Hunter, Peter Lichtenfels

Negotiating Shakespeare's Language in Romeo and Juliet

Reading Strategies from Criticism, Editing and the Theatre

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through exciting and unconventional approaches, including critical/historical, printing/publishing and performance studies, this study mines Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to produce new insights into the early modern family and the individual, and society in the context of early modern capitalism. Inspired by recent work in cultural materialism and the material book, it also foregrounds the ways in which the contexts and the text itself become available to the reader today.
