Shakespeare and Social Dialogue: Dramatic Language and Elizabethan Letters
Magnusson, Lynne (Queen's University, Ontario)
This systematic analysis of the rhetoric of social exchange in early modern England opens a new approach to Shakespeare's dialogue and Elizabethan letters. Magnusson draws on modern discourse analysis and sixteenth-century epistolary theory and argues that Shakespeare's language is rooted in the everyday language of Elizabethan culture.
