Previous owner's name to endpaper. Top edges dusty. GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket A play is heard rather than read, and a contemporary audience can be counted on to catch every allusion and to hear in full what is spoken only in part. An increased knowledge of the common currency of Elizabethan speech, the language Shakespeare 'found', will lead to a finer appreciation of the language he 'made'. This book is important in that its approach to the language of the plays is both literary and linguistic. No specialized knowledge is assumed and the material, although sometimes complex, is presented simply and without technical terms.
