Rewritten text:

Seeing Shakespeare's Style presents fresh approaches to perceiving Shakespeare and, by extension, literary texts in general. Structured as a series of studies examining Shakespeare's plays, poems, and prose, the book delves into the inner workings of language and form across the various phases of his career. Given that the concept of literary style has faded from many discussions about writing, there is a pressing need for new ways to comprehend the interplay between words, phrases, speeches, and genres in literature. Responding to this need, this book showcases how visual representations of writing can foster a deeper understanding of language textures and effects. The book begins with chapters that are particularly beneficial for beginning readers of Shakespeare, gradually progressing to more in-depth examinations of Shakespeare's language and style. While primarily focused on Shakespeare's works and those of his contemporaries, this book offers valuable tools for all readers of literature by defining style as material, graphic, and shaped by the diverse media through which all writers engage.
