Speak It in Welsh

Wales and the Welsh Language in Shakespeare

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From the quarrelling captains in Henry V, to the linguistically challenged lovers in I Henry IV, to the monoglot vocalist Lady Mortimer, to the proud Sir Hugh Evans, Shakespeare offers Welsh characters whose voices, language use, and presence help reflect a sometimes marginalized aspect of British identity. "Speak It in Welsh": Wales and the Welsh Language in Shakespeare seeks to understand why Shakespeare included the Welsh voice in his plays.
