Written for readers who have a passion for Shakespeare,Shakespeare's Wordcrafttakes a comprehensive look at Shakespeare's stellar use of language devices throughout his plays, devices he used to ink memorable lines like these:
I must be cruel only to be kind
Fair is foul, and foul is fair
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
In a clear, accessible, non-academic style using plain terms, modern quotes, and several thousand examples Shakespeare's Wordcraftdeftly reveals how these lasting lines were not accidental or coincidental, but designed and crafted by a master of the word.
