Description of The Eloquent Shakespeare: A Pronouncing Dictionary for the Complete Dramatic Works with Notes to Untie the Modern Tongue
Review �Extremely useful to those who coach, act in, direct, and teach Shakespeare�s plays.� (Linda Gates, head of voice, department of theater, Northwestern University 2008-02-12)�Logan�s knowledge of his material is both broad and deep, combining a theater professional�s sensitivity to the use of language, a phonetician�s precision, and a linguist�s knowledge of the history and development of English. The book is bound to be of tremendous use to actors, directors, vocal coaches, and theater teachers. Its comprehensiveness sets it apart from other similar works.� (Ralph Zito, Chair, Voice and Speech, Drama Division, The Juilliard School 2008-02-12)�Terrifically useful, well planned, clear, and helpful. The Eloquent Shakespeare is a one-of-a-kind reference guide.� (Don Wadsworth, School of Drama, Carnegie Mellon University 2008-02-13)�Logan�s account of prosody, verse versus prose, prevailing rhythm, foreign words, rhyme, and shifts in syllabic stress ought to be reprinted in all editions of Shakespeare used by high-school students and undergraduates. I know of no more succinct and practical an account anywhere.� (Bruce Smith, professor of English, University of Southern California 2008-03-04)�Logan has given us a pronouncing dictionary for Shakespeare which surpasses anything previously available in both scope and depth. Thoroughly researched and carefully documented, it clearly indicates pronunciations which are conjectural or matters of debate, as well as laying out in detail the standard of pronunciation adopted for the dictionary. This is an invaluable resource for actors, voice coaches, and directors.� (Ellen O�Brien, head of voice and text, Shakespeare Theatre Company 2008-04-08)�The Eloquent Shakespeare is an archaeological site; a treasure trove of sumptuous words celebrating one of the richest languages on earth from the most generous dramatist who ever lived, and Logan has done all of the digging for us. This indispensable guide will become a trusted companion, assisting directors in their research and actors in their preparation.� (Michael Kahn, Artistic Director, Shakespeare Theatre Company)�Although the spelling of Shakespeare�s words has become largely standardized, their pronunciation (alas) remains subject to individual whim, varying from performer to performer and sometimes from one night to the next. In The Eloquent Shakespeare, Logan has undertaken not only to correct mispronunciations but to present preferred or recommended pronunciations as well.� (Harold Cordry Booklist Online 2009-05-07)'Logan's volume will be very helpful for actors, directors, and speakers, while academics will appreciate his textual observations and linguistic detail.' (American Reference Books Annual)�To browse through The Eloquent Shakespeare is to be reminded of the richness of Shakespeare�s language, but also of the difficulty of giving voice to his words. . . . Designed primarily for actors, directors, and teachers, Logan�s dictionary provides guidelines for pronouncing Shakespeare using �a modern standard English of the American variety.� . . . [The book] is remarkably easy to use, in part because clear examples of phonemes are provided at bottom of each double page.� (Katharine A. Craik Shakespeare Quarterly)�The Eloquent Shakespeare is an engrossing, impeccably organized, sensitively written, highly accessible, academically sound and supremely useful font of knowledge that has set the new standard for pronunciation dictionaries.� (Voice & Speech Review) Read more About the Author Gary Logan�is director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company�s Academy for Classical Acting at the George Washington University.
