Breaking new ground in Shakespearean sound studies, Kent Lehnhof draws scholarly attention to the rich ethical significance of the voice and vocality. Less concerned with semantics, stylistics, and rhetoric than with the sensuous, sonorous, and somatic dimensions of human speech, Lehnhof performs close readings of five plays - Coriolanus, King Lear, Pericles, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest - to demonstrate how Shakespeare's later works present the act of speaking and the sound of the voice as capable of constructing, deconstructing, and reconstructing interpersonal relationships and obligations. By thinking widely and innovatively about the voice and vocality, Lehnhof models a fresh form of philosophically-minded criticism that resists logocentrism and elevates the voices of marginalized groups and individuals including women, members of societal "underclasses", racialized persons and non-humans.

'Addressing the power and presence of the human voice on stage, Lehnhof shows how acts of speaking, hearing, and listening disrupt our egoism and open us to more authentic connections with others. Enunciating the multivocal wisdom of Shakespearean drama, this book will be accessible to both advanced scholars and students of literature.' Julia Reinhard Lupton, Distinguished Professor of English, The University of California, Irvine
