Power and Passion in Shakespeare's Pronouns: Interrogating 'you' and 'thou'

By Penelope Freedman

In revealing patterns of you/thou use in Shakespeare's plays, this study highlights striking and significant shifts from one to the other. Penelope Freedman's careful research demonstrates how an understanding of Shakespeare's usage can provide a key to unlock puzzles of motive and character; and a glass to clarify relationships and emotions. The scholarship presented in this volume is augmented with tables and a glossary of linguistic terms.
