This rare antiquarian book aims to present in an accessible way some of
the more important elements of information conducive to the study and
correct understanding of Shakespeare's seminal plays. Written with the
intention that it should be given to students at the start of their
study, the author believes it is most useful when given to students with
directions to learn a small part each day up until the point when they
have mastered at least the most significant portions of the glossary and
grammar. The Glossary includes, with detailed definitions, the most
important words which Shakespeare uses in senses which differ from the
present-day definitions and may therefore cause some trouble for modern
students. A brilliant guidebook for students of Shakespeare and for
those who want to get the most out of their Shakespearean readings, this
fascinating book also makes a great addition to any bookshelf. This text
was originally published in 1913, and is proudly republished here
complete with a new introduction to the subject.
