Shakespeare's Wordcraft

Written 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:ΓÇó I must be cruel only to be kindΓÇó Fair is foul, and foul is fairΓÇó Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!ΓÇó 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.
