Shakespeare's Englishes
«'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»
Whose English is 'true' English? What is its relation to the national character? These were urgent questions in Shakespeare's England just as questions of language and identity are today.

John Drakakis, Notes and Queries»
