Description
Break through the barriers of restraint and incomprehension when faced with Shakespeare's language. Kristin Linklater offers a practical approach to understanding and speaking Elizabethan English, drawing on techniques from her international bestseller Freeing The Natural Voice.
This companion volume analyses Shakespeare's strategies for creating character, story and meaning through figures of speech, iambic pentameter, rhyme and the alternation of verse and prose. With copious examples from the plays, Linklater provides readers with the tools to increase understanding and make Shakespeare's words their own.
