Thomas (lecturer, universities of Warwick and Birmingham) has compiled an exhaustive dictionary of language Shakespeare used, from the arcane to simple and commonly used words, in his plays, sonnets, and other writings. Detailed individual entries also summarize contexts, how the words were used--puns, political invectives and possible multiple meanings. An extensive introduction outlines Shakespeare's mastery of the political and economic concepts and language of the day, as well as his ability to use the language in intricate and innovative ways. The dictionary also includes an extensive bibliography and an index of Shakespeare's works. This reference will interest scholars and students, as well as readers who seek a more in-depth understanding of Shakespeare's work. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
