The essays comprising this volume examine six Shakespearean plays from the point of view of their common concern with the point of view of their common concern with the role played by language in fashioning the reality which human begins inhabit, and with the hazards inherent in this constituitive enterprise. The author suggests that language is an unnamed protagonist in all of the works under discussion, and that the vicissitudes to which it is subjected both reflect, and are closely implicated in, those undergone by the human characters.
