Repeating at the Beginning

Send us Fan Mail This podcast is Celebrate Creativity and this series is Hall of Imagination. My name is George Bartley. GEORGE (Host): Now—quick note for listeners: today we’re talking a little bit more about a rhetorical device that Shakespeare would've learned in school. Don’t run away. “Rhetorical device” simply means a tool a writer uses to make language more memorable, more persuasive, more musical—sometimes all at once. Tonight’s tool is called anaphora. GEORGE: Master Shakespeare, are you with us? SHAKESPEARE (warm, amused): Indeed, sir. I am ever at your elbow—though I confess, your age is wondrous.
