Förlagets beskrivning
Providing an alphabetical listing of sexual language and locution in 16th
and 17th-century English, this book draws especially on the more immediate
literary modes: the theatre, broadside ballads, newsbooks and pamphlets. The
aim is to assist the reader of Shakespearean and Stuart literature to identify
metaphors and elucidate meanings; and more broadly, to chart, through
illustrative quotation, shifting and recurrent linguistic patterns. Linguistic
habit is closely bound up with the ideas and assumptions of a period, and the
figurative language of sexuality across this period is highly illuminating of
socio-cultural change as well as linguistic development. Thus the entries offer
as much to those concerned with social history and the history of ideas as to
the reader of Shakespeare or Dryden. Gordon Williams has also published "Coriolanus" (a Macmillan Master Guide,
1987); and "Macbeth" (a Macmillan Text and Performance book, 1985). An alphabetical listing of sexual language and locution in 16th- and
17th-century English, drawing on the more immediate literary modes: theatre,
broadside ballads, newsbooks, pamphlets. The author's other publications
include Macmillan's Master Guide to "Macbeth" (1985) and "Coriolanus"
(1987).
