Modern and Contemporary World Drama
Critical and Primary Sources
Edited by Esther Kim Lee, Duke University, USA Bringing together over 80 critical articles this work collects scholarly articles, reviews and critical interventions that are indispensable to anyone wishing to gain an understanding of world drama from the past 150 years. Contesting a Eurocentric reading or history of modern drama, the articles underscore the importance of migration and transnational movements of dramatic forms, and place emphasis on the transmission and circulation of dramatic theories around the world. The 4 volumes are arranged both thematically and chronologically to give readers a sense of how modern and contemporary world drama began and how it has been studied since.

The Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's Language
Edited by Jonathan Culpeper, Lancaster University, UK, Andrew Hardie, Lancaster University, UK and Jane Demmen, Linguist These 2 volumes bring scholarship on Shakespeare's language into the 21st-century. They offer the fi rst comprehensive account of Shakespeare’s language to use computational methods derived from corpus linguistics. Taking a dictionary format, Volume 1 covers A-M, Volume 2 N-Z. Each focuses on the use and meanings of Shakespeare's most-commonly used words, both in the context of what he wrote and in the context in which he wrote. Internal comparisons reveal how Shakespeare's language varies dynamically across his works, while external comparisons - including with a 380-million word corpus of wider English genres - show the stylistic fl avour of words.
