Marston’s Experimental Language in Antonio and Mellida
Résumé
This lecture will present Shakespeare’s contemporary satirist and playwright, John Marston (1576-1634), and focus on his linguistic experiments (his neologisms, the elasticity of his syntax, his linguistic variety) in the diptych Antonio and Mellida and Antonio’s Revenge (1599, 1600), which he wrote for “The Children of Paul’s” just when the “War of the Theatres” broke out in Elizabethan England.
