DescriptionArden Student Guides: Language and Writing offer a new type of study aid which combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical writing skills you need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare's texts. The books' core focus is on language: both understanding and enjoying Shakespeare's complex dramatic language, and expanding your own critical vocabulary, as you respond to his plays. Key features include: * an introduction considering when and how the play was written, addressing the language with which Shakespeare created his work, as well as the generic, literary and theatrical conventions at his disposal * detailed examination and analysis of the individual text, focusing on its literary, technical and historical intricacies * discussion of performance history and the critical reception of the work * a 'Writing matters' section in every chapter, clearly linking the analysis of Shakespeare's language to your own writing strategies in coursework and examinations. Promotion infoA new type of study guide which combines an exploration of Shakespeare's language with specific help for students looking to develop their own critical responses and skills.
