Description

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 Shakespeare wrote. The lifetime work of Professor Alexander Schmidt of Kouml;nigsberg; this book has long been the indispensable companion for every person seriously interested in Shakespeare; Renaissance poetry and prose of any sort; or English literature. It is really two important books in one.Schmidtrsquo;s set contains every single word that Shakespeare used; not simply words that have changed their meaning since the seventeenth century; but every word in all the accepted plays and the poems. Covering both quartos and folios; it carefully distinguishes between shades of meaning for each word and provides exact definitions; plus governing phrases and locations; down to the numbered line of the Cambridge edition of Shakespeare. There is no other word dictionary comparable to this work.Even more useful to the general reader; however; is the incredible wealth of exact quotations. Arranged under the words of the quotation itself (hence no need to consult confusing subject classifications) are more than 50;000 exact quotations. Each is precisely located; so that you can easily refer back to the plays or poems themselves; if you wish context.Other features helpful to the scholar are appendixes on basic grammatical observations; a glossary of provincialisms; a list of words and sentences taken from foreign languages; a list of words that form the latter part of word-combinations. This third edition features a supplement with new findings.
