Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespearian Punctuation
Where other authors are quoted, it is generally in order to corroborate the usage of the Shakespeare texts. I could have drawn profusely on these additional sources of illus tration, but I preferred to concentrate on the Folio, to the better understanding of which I h0pe even this slight study will contribute.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of punctuation in 17th-century literature, challenging the misconception that printers of that era were haphazard in their use of commas, colons, and periods. The author argues that, contrary to modern logical punctuation, the earlier system was primarily rhythmical, reflecting the cadence and flow of the language. Through meticulous analysis of works like Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, the author unveils the intricate ways in which punctuation was employed to enhance meaning, emphasize subtle differences in tone, and guide the reader's interpretation. The book explores various punctuation marks and their functions, including the comma's role in highlighting metrical pauses, emphasizing key words, and setting off adverbial phrases. By examining the nuances of 17th-century punctuation, this book sheds light on the artistry and intentionality behind the printed texts of the time. It invites readers to appreciate the richness and complexity of early modern English and challenges assumptions about the supposed carelessness of past printers. Ultimately, the author's insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how punctuation shaped the literary landscape of the 17th century.
