Laurie Maguire

Shakespeare's Names

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This unusual and fascinating book convinces readers that names matter in Shakespeare's plays - and that playing with names is a serious business. The focus is Shakespeare - in particular, case-studies of 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Comedy of Errors', 'The Taming of the Shrew', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'All's Well that Ends Well' and 'Troilus and Cressida' - but the book also shows what Shakespeare inherited and where the topic developed after him.
