{"product_id":"shakespeares-world-of-words-paul-yachnin-9781472515292","title":"Shakespeare's World of Words","description":"\u003cp\u003eWas Shakespeare really the original genius he has appeared to be since the eighteenth century, a poet whose words came from nature itself? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors to this volume propose that Shakespeare was not the poet of nature, but rather that he is a genius of rewriting and re-creation, someone able to generate a new language and new ways of seeing the world by orchestrating existing social and literary vocabularies. Each chapter in the volume begins with a key word or phrase from Shakespeare and builds toward a broader consideration of the social, poetic, and theatrical dimensions of his language. The chapters capture well the richness of Shakespeare's world of words by including discussions of biblical language, Latinity, philosophy of language and subjectivity, languages of commerce, criminality, history, and education, the gestural vocabulary of performance, as well as accounts of verbal modality and Shakespeare's metrics. An Afterword outlines a number of other important languages in Shakespeare, including those of law, news, and natural philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Yachnin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472515293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472515292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Paul Yachnin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088342757631,"sku":"9781472515292","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06ed94e6-f5d2-45b8-9268-9e556d7e7404.jpg?v=1769104327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeares-world-of-words-paul-yachnin-9781472515292","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
