Literature: Shakespeare

A complete concordance or verbal index to words, phrases and passages in the dramatic works of Shakespeare. There is also a supplementary concordance to the poems.

This book is for people who love Shakespeare, or love language, or both. David Crystal, one of the world's foremost authorities on the English language, with his actor son, Ben, have taken a fresh look at the vocabulary of Shakespeare's poems and plays and compiled a glossary of nearly 14,000 words and meanings.

In more than 300 years of Shakespearean scholarship, only one book, the famous "Shakespeare Lexicon and Quotation Dictionary," has investigated the meaning of every word that Shakepeare wrote.
