Book Synopsis

Bradley Buchanan explores, in light of classical rhetorical theory and early modern intellectual culture, the many manifestations of affectation in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. He shows that the previously unexamined aspect of Shakespeare’s depictions of affectation lies in the catachrestic abuse of the word “affection” to signify affectation.



Trade Review
“Not only a joy to read, Indict the Author of Affection also has the force to change how critics explore rhetoric in Shakespeare. This engagingly written book intervenes in a burgeoning field from a new perspective, and it impacts Shakespeare criticism and theoretical approaches to Shakespeare in significant ways.” Goran Stanivukovic, Saint Mary's University
