Shakespearean Rhetoric
«Shakespearean Rhetoric will greatly aid anybody who needs a text illuminating in order to decipher character - not only in Shakespeare’s works, but in most classic, European texts that students will be asked to study or perform. Acting Shakespeare is made easier with the guidelines of rhetorical techniques discussed and concisely demonstrated in Benet Brandreth’s book. Unlocking a character through their chosen rhetorical techniques is explained in simple terms and shown to work in practice. A vital aid for all modern students of Shakespeare - with a concise grounding in English grammar thrown in for good measure.»

«Benet’s passion, knowledge and curiosity is contagious, and his ability to clearly transmit the origins and influences of Shakespeare’s imagination to performance and artistic process could have a profound impact on both the individual actor and classical technique as a whole.»
