Download or read book Shakespeare's Names written by Laurie Maguire and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007-10-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual and fascinating book convinces readers that names matter in Shakespeare's plays - and that playing with names is a serious business. The focus is Shakespeare - in particular, case-studies of Romeo and Juliet, Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream, All's Well that Ends Well, and Troilus and Cressida - but the book also shows what Shakespeare inherited and where the topic developed after him.
