Reviews

'Readers of Shakespeare's Englishes may well find its contents inspiring and comforting: a celebration of Shakespeare's language and his apparent spirit of inclusivity.' Marisa R. Cull, The Review of English Studies '... this is a book that amply repays close reading ... The sheer range of detail, the lateral thinking that draws examples into surprising combinations from right across Elizabethan culture, and the scholarly apparatus that sustains these connections is impressive, and this book will prove a valuable resource for future editors of Shakespeare's plays.' John Drakakis, Notes and Queries 'Shakespeare's Englishes is a carefully researched and documented work interested in the 'cultural rhyme between then and now' that merges 'topicality with presentism.' A valuable resource for those working on Shakespeare and English identity or Shakespeare and language.' K. K. Smith, Choice
