26 Erről a "Shakespeare-ideológiáról" részletesen ír többek között William B. Worthen (Shakespeare and the Authority of Performance, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997, 41-43) és Terence Hawkes, aki érzékletesen szemlélteti a szerepet, amit Shakespeare játszott a mindenkori társadalmi értékformálásban, és a csatáról, amelyet Hazlitt és Coleridge folytatott Shakespeare "birtoklásáért": "Shakespeare's centrality as an instrument of cultural meaning was confirmed by that contest. The creature familiar to us as 'Shakespeare' was to some degree produced by it. Reinforced and transmitted by the educational system, this is a figure we immediately recognize and embrace: liberal, disinterested, allwise, his plays the repository, guarantee and chief distributor next to God of unchanging truth." Terence Hawkes.

Issues and challenges in compiling a corpus of Early Modern English plays for comparison with those of William Shakespeare

In this article I discuss the issues and challenges of compiling a corpus of historical plays by a range of playwrights that is highly suitable for use in comparative, corpus-based research into language style in Shakespeare’s plays. In discussing sources for digitised historical play-texts and criteria for making a selection for the present study, I argue that not just any set of Early Modern English plays constitutes a suitable basis upon which to make reliable claims about language style in Shakespeare’s plays relative to those of his peers. I point out factors outside of authorial choice which potentially have bearing on language style, such as sub-genre features and change over time. I also highlight some particular difficulties in compiling a corpus of historical texts, notably dating and spelling variation, and I explain how these were addressed. The corpus detailed in this article extends the prospects for investigating Shakespeare’s language style by providing a context into which it can be set and, as I indicate, is a valuable new publicly accessible resource for future research.
