Description

Shakespearean Intersections: Language, Contexts, Critical Keywords by Patricia Parker offers a unique perspective on Shakespeare's plays. By exploring key words and concepts, Parker reveals how they provide insight into the language, contexts, and preoccupations of his works. Parker delves into the meanings of terms such as "continence", "quince", and "supposes", uncovering their connections to geopolitical boundaries, theatrical performance practices, and social hierarchies. Her innovative approach provides a fresh understanding of Shakespeare's plays, demonstrating how easily overlooked textual details can have significant resonance. Through her erudite analysis, Parker sheds light on the complex relationships between language, context, and meaning in Shakespeare's works, revealing the incontinent divide between these concepts.
