Shakespeare&aposs Wordcraft [Paperback]

SHAKESPEARE'S WORDCRAFTWritten for readers who have a passion for Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Wordcraft takes 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 Wordcraft deftly reveals how these lasting lines were not accidental or coincidental, but designed and crafted by a master of the word.
