Abstract

"Shakespeare's Unmuted Women explores women's speeches in selected plays by Shakespeare, highlighting women's discerning insight as a vital ingredient in these selected works. The book discusses the use of rhetoric in speeches by women as a cementing material that supports the casing of the incidents. Women holding forth on the issues related with the common concerns issued in the plays, perform a distinguishing role in strengthening the bond between decisions taken and executed by each character and make their major important contribution to the overall impact of the play. Comprised of six chapters, the volume analyses Cordelia's and Desdemona's speeches in King Lear and Othello, Cleopatra's and Tamora's speeches in Antony and Cleopatra and Titus Andronicus, Beatrice's, and Rosalind's speeches in Much Ado About Nothing and As You Like It, Katherine's and Lady Anne's speeches in Henry V and Richard III, respectively. The text discusses women's rich and profound discourse in these works to accentuate the meaningful input in verbal communication. In Shakespeare's selected plays, women's insightfulness and perspicuity are closely considered to emphasize the ways in which women make efficient use of rhetoric, aptly used by Queen Elizabeth I during Shakespeare's time. Queen Elizabeth's outstanding public speeches inspired those who listened to her and Shakespeare's women are partial embodiments of her"--
