Berger combines close reading with cultural analysis to show how the language characters speak always says more than the speakers mean to say. \u003cbr\u003e Shakespeare's speakers try to say one thing. Their language says other things that often question the speakers' motives or intentions. Harrying explores the effect of this linguistic mischief on the representation of all the Henriad's major figures.\u003cbr\u003e It centers attention on the portrayal of Falstaff and on the bad faith that darkens the language and performance of Harry, the Prince of Wales who becomes King Henry V.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580289544472,"sku":"9780823256624","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/harrying-skills-of-offense-in-shakespeares-henriad-hardback-9780823256624","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
