Description

Explore how Shakespeare and his contemporaries represented foreign languages on the early modern stage in this scholarly study from Routledge. Rather than dismissing these linguistic performances as simply mocking or xenophobic, Marianne Montgomery argues that the drama of this period presents linguistic variety as a source of strength and cultural richness. This book examines how playwrights offered audiences a cosmopolitan engagement with the foreign, complicating straightforward national distinctions and revealing complex attitudes toward European languages. By listening closely to six European languages across the plays of the era, Montgomery uncovers a more nuanced theatrical response to linguistic difference than previously recognised. Essential reading for scholars of early modern drama, performance history, and the intersection of language and theatre in Renaissance England.
