Summary

In homage to Patricia Parker’s brilliant and baroque book, Shakespearean Intersections: Language, Contexts, Critical Keywords, I start where I should end with the ‘arsy-versy’ or the preposterous, as a new collective noun for a group of books on Shakespeare. In this amblongus pie of textual delicacies, Parker addresses ‘key’ terms through which other words or phrases may be unlocked or interconnected. Returning to many of the avenues and intersections that Parker explored in her – now classic – Shakespeare from the Margins, the book devotes itself to the ebullient performances of meaning that take place across the drama and invites us to the often indigestible feast of language as both a guest and an onlooker.
