The Artistry of Shakespeare's Prose is the first detailed study of the use of prose in the plays. It begins by defining the different dramatic and emotional functions which Shakespeare gave to prose and verse, and proceeds to analyse the recurrent stylistic devices used in his prose. The general and particular application of prose is then studied through all the plays, in roughly chronological order. 410 0$aRoutledge library editions.$pShakespeare ;$v34. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a822.3/3 700 $aVickers$b Brian.$0166398 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452551103321 996 $aArtistry of Shakespeare's prose$9148471 997 $aUNINA
