Literary studies: c 1500 to c 1800; Shakespeare studies & criticism

Series: Arden Student Skills: Language and Writing

Arden Student Guides: Language and Writing offer a new type of study aid which combines

lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical writing

skills you need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare’s

texts. The books’ core focus is on language: both understanding and

enjoying Shakespeare’s complex dramatic language, and expanding your own

critical vocabulary, as you respond to his plays.

Key features include:

• an introduction considering when and how the play was written,

addressing the language with which Shakespeare created his work, as well

as the generic, literary and theatrical conventions at his disposal

• detailed examination and analysis of the individual text, focusing on its literary, technical and historical intricacies

• discussion of performance history and the critical reception of the work

• a ‘Writing matters’ section in every chapter, clearly linking the

analysis of Shakespeare’s language to your own writing strategies in

coursework and examinations

Written by world-class academics with both scholarly insight and outstanding teaching skills, each guide will empower you to read and write about Shakespeare with increased confidence and enthusiasm.

Shakespeare’s The Tempest is among the most widely-admired works of literature. More than any other Shakespeare play, it has lent itself to rewriting and is among the most ‘metadramatic’ of Shakespeare’s works, pondering the value of creating worlds with words.
