The Eloquent Shakespeare: A Pronouncing Dictionary for the Complete Dramatic Works with Notes to Untie the Modern Tongue

An actorâ€™s deepest desire is to be understood. But when asked to pronounce such words as â€œchanson,â€ â€œphantasime,â€ or â€œquaestor,â€ many otherwise unflappable actors can be rendered speechless.

The Eloquent Shakespeare aims to untie those tongues and help anyone speak Shakespeareâ€™s language with ease. More than 17,500 entries make it the most comprehensive pronunciation guide to Shakespeareâ€™s words, from the common to the arcane. Each entry is written in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and represents standard American pronunciations, making this dictionary perfect for North American professionals or non-native speakers of American English.
Â
Renowned Shakespearean voice and text coach Gary Logan has spent years teaching Shakespeareâ€™s works to some of the best actors in the world. His book includes proper names, foreign words and phrases, as well as an extensive introduction that covers everything from how to interpret the entries to scansion dynamics. Designed especially for actors, directors, stage managers, and teachers, The Eloquent Shakespeare is a one-of-a-kind resource for performing Shakespeareâ€™s dramatic works.
