AB  - Begins with discussion of the conventional "anachronistic reading of the status of language in Shakespeare" (as illustrated by Kent Cartwright, "Language, Magic, the Dromios, and The Comedy of Errors" [q.v.]); addresses John Dryden's contradictory attitude to Shakespeare's language; then argues that understanding one's concepts of both language in general and Shakespeare's language furthers understanding of the relationship of the Middle Ages, Shakespeare's early modern England, and the present.
