This is a book full of fresh and illuminating perspectives and methods. It makes you realize the study of Shakespeare's language is only just beginning.

- David Crystal, Honorary Professor of Linguistics at Bangor University, UK,

A welcome addition to the still relatively meagre output of books on Shakespeare's style. The chapters by different contributors take a fresh and insightful look at vocabulary, metre and rhetoric in the light of recent advances in stylistics.

- Katie Wales, Special Professor, School of English, University of Nottingham, UK,

The eleven articles included jointly offer an impressive scope of scholarship, catering to various literary and linguistic tastes, while bringing the multi-level nature of Shakespeare's style clearly into focus... The volume is an important contribution to scholarship, on several levels... The various linguistic aspects of Shakespeare's texts work cohesively together to create meaning. They are all needed in order for the overall idea to emerge. To appreciate the 'holistic' message, one needs to look at all the parts. This volume shows how it can be achieved.

- Barbara Dancygier, University of British Columbia, English Text Construction (Vol. 6:1)

Moving across Shakespeare studies, language studies and linguistics, this book develops a coherent analysis of the stylistics of Shakespeare's language. This innovative volume testifies to the current revived interest in Shakespeare's language and style and opens up new and captivating vistas of investigation. Transcending old boundaries between literary and linguistic studies, this engaging collaborative book comes up with a original array of theoretical approaches and new findings. The chapters in the collection capture a rich diversity of points of view and cover such fields as lexicography, versification, dramaturgy, rhetorical analyses, cognitive and computational corpus-based stylistic studies, offering a holistic vision of Shakespeare's uses of language. The perspective is deliberately broad, confronting ideas and visions at the intersection of various techniques of textual investigation. Such novel explorations of Shakespeare's multifarious artistry and amazing inventiveness in his use of language will cater for broad ranges of readers, from undergraduates and postgraduates to poetry and theatre lovers alike. "Advances in Stylistics" provides student resources and research material in cutting-edge stylistics. It forgoes traditional boundaries to encompass the study of both literary and non-literary texts, and covers exciting new developments in the field. It takes a broad view of stylistics as the practice of using linguistic methodologies and analytical frameworks to facilitate the analysis of texts of all genres and types, for the purpose of explaining why we interpret texts in the way that we do.

Advances in Stylistics provides student resources and research material in cutting-edge stylistics. It forgoes traditional boundaries to encompass the study of both literary and non-literary texts, and covers exciting new developments in the field. It takes a broad view of stylistics as the practice of using linguistic methodologies and analytical frameworks to facilitate the analysis of texts of all genres and types, for the purpose of explaining why we interpret texts in the way that we do. Books in the series address such topics as stylistic theory, discourse analysis, language and cognition, literary genre, corpus stylistics, the analysis of historical texts, pedagogical stylistics, multimodality and stylistic methodologies. The series further develops stylistic and linguistic theory, to demonstrate the application and value of stylistic tools of analysis and further consolidate stylistics as a major study and research area within language studies.
