强力推荐：Shakespeare's Bawdy (Routledge Classics) 新版火热发售 在线阅读本书 Here Partridge combined a detailed knowledge of Shakespeare and Elizabethan slang/innuendo to create 'a literary and psychological essay and a comprehensive glossary' of this long-avoided aspect of Shakespeare criticism. .com Review When Shakespeare's plays were first performed, they were popularwith everyone: they weren't classics yet or a requisite course to besuffered. The stories were good entertainment for the masses, with a bawdy streaka mile wide. Certainly Shakespeare's depth and insight into human naturewas appreciated, but surely some came just for the dirt. Shakespeare's contemporariesdidn't need a glossary to get the jokes, but we do. Thank goodness for EricPartridge's dictionary of Elizabethan smut, so we can get the double-entendres, too. Thus, hardeningof one's brows (The Winter's Tale) refersto being cuckolded, laced mutton (Two Gentleman of Verona) is aprostitute, riggish (Cleopatra) means lascivious, and groping fortrout in a peculiar river (Measure for Measure) means copulating with awoman. With an essay on the sexual, homosexual, and nonsexual bawdy inShakespeare, an index to the essay, and a full glossary of bawdry, Partridgeputs the nudge and wink back in Shakespeare.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review "It reads as freshly today as it did fifty years ago, when it surprised everyone with its originality and daring, an intriguing blend of personal insight and solid detective-work. If ever a word-book deserved to be called a classic, it is this." -David Crystal "Eric was a human lexicographer, like Samuel Johnson. He was a philologist rather than a linguist. He knew what Chomsky was doing and what had happened to phonology in Prague, but he eschewed the strict scientific approach. Linguistics is scared of semantics and prefers to concentrate on structures, leaving the study of the meaning of words to anthropologists - or, perhaps with misgivings, to Johnsonian word-lovers like Eric Partridge." -Anthony Burgess ""Shakespeare's Bawdy's status as a pioneering study remains unchallenged." - Ralph Elliott "Shakespeare's Bawdy's status as a pioneering study remains unchallenged."-- Ralph Elliott It reads as freshly today as it did fifty years ago, when it surprised everyone with its originality and daring, an intriguing blend of personal insight and solid detective-work.
