"Drawing on the bonds, and asseverations, of love, loyalty, debt, faith, promises and all sorts of other things that characters' vow to keep or maintain, the book explores the many ways in which Shakespeare's plays exploit the potential of the oath to bind as well as break the ties of kinship. Within this Kerrigan offers some compelling and intricate readings of oaths and their roles within the plays (and sometimes Sonnets) discussed." --Charlotte Scott, Shakespeare Studies "This outstanding book brings a new level of sophistication to the analysis of promising in Shakespeare's drama." --James P. Bednarz, Modern Philology, "Given this year's 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, there was always going to be a slew of new publications; few, I suspect, will have as long-lasting an effect as John Kerrigan's. His field of inquiry is both straightforward and complicated. It is almost retrospectively obvious that Shakespeare's plays contain a great amount of vows, oaths, swearing both covenantual and vulgar, pledges, promises and imprecations. The same might be said for a great many playwrights' works; but the depth of subtlety which Kerrigan finds in the handling of these specific rhetorical forms is compelling." -- The Spectator, "Broad historical context ... and attentive readings of the plays ... The depth of subtlety which Kerrigan finds in the handling of ... specific rhetorical forms is compelling ... I read this with enthusiasm." --Stuart Kelly, The Spectator"Drawing on the bonds, and asseverations, of love, loyalty, debt, faith, promises and all sorts of other things that characters' vow to keep or maintain, the book explores the many ways in which Shakespeare's plays exploit the potential of the oath to bind as well as break the ties of kinship.

Bednarz, Modern Philology"Brilliant ... dazzling ... capacious, generous ... this book will remain a resource for students and scholars for decades." --Rebecca Lemon, Shakespeare Quarterly, "John Kerrigan is, to my mind, one of the most incisive and subtle contemporary writers on Shakespeare. His study of oaths and swearing - Shakespeare's Binding Language - is magisterial. This book comprises versions of his Oxford Wells Shakespeare lectures and looks, closely, at this trickiest of questions: how original was Shakespeare? It takes in textual sources, innovation in stagecraft and the history of when Shakespeare became both the great original and the best of adaptors." -- Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday "Drawing on the bonds, and asseverations, of love, loyalty, debt, faith, promises and all sorts of other things that characters' vow to keep or maintain, the book explores the many ways in which Shakespeare's plays exploit the potential of the oath to bind as well as break the ties of kinship. Within this Kerrigan offers some compelling and intricate readings of oaths and their roles within the plays (and sometimes Sonnets) discussed." --Charlotte Scott, Shakespeare Studies "This outstanding book brings a new level of sophistication to the analysis of promising in Shakespeare's drama." --James P. Bednarz, Modern Philology, a massive, complicated and brilliant interpretation of the oaths, vows and promises that bind the characters in virtually every one of Shakespeare's plays ... Shakespeare will only endure if we continually reinvent and reinterpret him, and Kerrigan has done just that. We will still be digesting his masterly work on vows and oaths by 2023 and the next Shakespeare celebration, the 400th anniversary of the First Folio's publication., "This outstanding book brings a new level of sophistication to the analysis of promising in Shakespeare's drama." --James P. Bednarz, Modern Philology, "Broad historical context ... and attentive readings of the plays ...

Bednarz, Modern Philology "Brilliant ... dazzling ... capacious, generous ... this book will remain a resource for students and scholars for decades." --Rebecca Lemon, Shakespeare Quarterly, "...Kerrigan investigates a wide variety of culturally specific norms governing this language and how Shakespeare interrogates those norms in his plays. For example, in examining Love's Labours Lost, Kerrigan points out that in Shakespeare's time, Cambridge and Oxford students were required to take a three-year pledge of celibacy to live with friends and study- a fact that makes the initial vow of the play comprehensible. The play suggests that Shakespeare found these pledges ridiculous and possibly tragic. In other chapters, Kerrigan addresses oaths of revenge, money and its bonds, matrimonial pledges, promises of loyalty to government, and swearing to God or gods. Each form of binding language has a historically specific constellation of meanings that Kerrigan uses to inform the plays. A fascinating, fresh, and erudite look at Shakespeare's plays." --B. A. McGowan, CHOICE "Given this year's 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, there was always going to be a slew of new publications; few, I suspect, will have as long-lasting an effect as John Kerrigan's. His field of inquiry is both straightforward and complicated.

Synopsis
This remarkable, innovative book explores the significance in Shakespeare's plays of oaths, vows, contracts, pledges and the other utterances and acts by which characters commit themselves to the truth of things past, present, and to come. In early modern England, such binding language was everywhere. Oaths of office, marriage vows, legal bonds, and casual, everyday profanity gave shape and texture to life. The proper use of such language, and the extent of itspower to bind, was argued over by lawyers, religious writers, and satirists, and these debates inform literature and drama. Shakespeare's Binding Language gives a freshlyresearched account of these contexts, but it is focused on the plays. What motives should we look for when characters asseverate or promise? How far is binding language self-persuasive or deceptive? When is it allowable to break a vow? How do oaths and promises structure an audience's expectations? Across the sweep of Shakespeare's career, from the early histories to the late romances, this book opens new perspectives on key dramatic moments and illuminates language and action. Eachchapter gives an account of a play or group of plays, yet the study builds to a sustained investigation of some of the most important systems, institutions, and controversies in early modern England, and ofthe wiring of Shakespearean dramaturgy. Scholarly but accessible, and offering startling insights, this is a major contribution to Shakespeare studies by one of the leading figures in the field., This remarkable, innovative book explores the significance in Shakespeare's plays of oaths, vows, contracts, pledges and the other utterances and acts by which characters commit themselves to the truth of things past, present, and to come.
