Reviews
""The importance of this book is that it makes clear what we ought to mean when we call Shakespeare an artist in language. [N]ot until now have modern readers been told how immense a thing rhetoric was in the Renaissance--how immense in scope, and how endlessly detailed in its numerous parts. Nor has it been apparent how thoroughly Shakespeare was master of this rhetoric. Few books about him will ever be more exciting." --Mark Van Doren, New York Herald Tribune

Synopsis
"This book manifests enormous learning and real wisdom in applying that erudition to contemporary readers." -Harold Bloom, Grammar-school students in Shakespeare's time were taught to recognize the two hundred figures of speech that Renaissance scholars had derived from Latin and Greek sources (from amphibolgia through onomatopoeia to zeugma). This knowledge was one element in their thorough grounding in the liberal arts of logic, grammar, and rhetoric, known as the trivium. In Shakespeare's Use of the Arts of Language Sister Miriam Joseph writes: "The extraordinary power, vitality, and richness of Shakespeare's language are due in part to his genius, in part to the fact that the unsettled linguistic forms of his age promoted to an unusual degree the spirit of creativeness, and in part to the theory of composition then prevailing. . . The purpose of this study is to present to the modern reader the general theory of composition current in Shakespeare's England." The author then lays out those figures of speech in simple, understandable patterns and explains each one with examples from Shakespeare. Her analysis of his plays and poems illustrates that the Bard knew more about rhetoric than perhaps anyone else!

- h***r (11)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived within expected window of delivery. It was packaged in such a way so that item would not damaged during shipping. Item was actually better than described in eBay ad. It had been described as "Very Good," but it actually could be described as "Fine," "NOS," or "Like New," because it looked like a brand new copy! Great value for the price. Very happy with my purchase experience with this seller.
- t***a (29)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis item was listed as "very good" condition but it should have been listed as "like new" condition. I was very pleased to find the Bible had no writing in it, had a very clean leather cover and in fact looked like it had never been opened. The box was even in great shape on an item from 2013. The packaging could have gotten it to China and back without a scratch. It was shipped the same day as purchase. I love it and am very pleased with this seller.
