A reference companion to Shakespeare’s language and plays
David Crystal’s 676-page companion gathers glosses and quotations for more than 14,000 words that may be unfamiliar or easily misunderstood by modern audiences. The entries are complemented by panels on features such as greetings, swear-words, and forms of address, giving the volume several ways into Shakespeare’s vocabulary. It also extends beyond word reference: each play has a plot summary alongside a diagram representing the relationships within that play. This combination makes the book both a language aid and a structured reference to the plays.
