Excellent- More about Shakespeare's Englishes: Against Englishness
This study explores how Shakespeare resisted the shaping of ideas of the English language and national character by Protestant Reformation ideology, proposing an inclusive, mixed and unlimited community of our English.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 255 pages
Publication date: 30 September 2021
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Shakespeare's England faced urgent questions about the true English language and its relation to national character, just as today's world grapples with language and identity issues. This study explores how Shakespeare resisted the shaping of ideas by Protestant Reformation ideology, which promoted a notion of the temperate and honest citizen as the normative center of true English. Through close readings of early comedies and history plays, Tudeau-Clayton demonstrates how Shakespeare challenged this ideology by presenting diverse characters and cultural mixtures. Compelling studies of symmetrical pairs such as King's English versus gallimaufry and true-born Englishman versus Fantastical Gull illustrate how the traitor was defined not only by allegiance to the monarch but also by non-conformity to cultural habits. Tudeau-Clayton compellingly argues that Shakespeare subverted this narrow, class-inflected concept of English identity, proposing instead an inclusive, mixed, and unlimited community of our English.
