A vital resource for scholars, students and actors, this book contains
glosses and quotes for over 14,000 words that could be misunderstood by
or are unknown to a modern audience. Displayed panels look at such areas
of Shakespeare's language as greetings, swear-words and terms of
address. Plot summaries are included for all Shakespeare's plays and on
the facing page is a unique diagramatic representation of the
relationships within each play.
