Opis

This textbook in the Routledge Intertext series offers students practical experience of textual analysis focused on drama. Written in a clear, user-friendly style by a practising teacher, it combines practical activities with texts, followed by commentaries and suggestions for further activities. It can be used individually or in conjunction with the series core textbook, Working with Texts: A core book for language analysis. Aimed at A-level and beginning undergraduate students, this text examines a wide range of drama scripts, including plays, soap operas, and screenplays: from Shakespeare to Stoppard; Coronation Street to The Archers; and Sense and Sensibility to Sour Sweet. It discusses key aspects of dramatic language, including: conversation, dialect, narrative structure, cohesion, repetition, and imagery.
