My daughter looked at several sights before checking Amazon. Once again, you all came through. We are very happy with our experience.

We used this book at a recent Shakespeare Theater class taken at SUU in Cedar City and it was extremely informative. Even small words are referenced and cross referenced in this lexicon. The book not only gives definitions, but references any play or poem in which a given words is found. I recommend it (and its companion) highly, even for Shakespeare "experts"!

Offered as a companion to the Crystals' Shakespeare's Words: A Glossary & Language Companion, The Shakespeare Lexicon and Quotation Dictionary (with the subtitled advertisement "Every word defined and located, more than 50,000 quotations identified") proves useful up to a point, that is, the letter M. My expecting the whole alphabet was naive, I guess, in this era of computer generated offers. RW

Do not order this book. There is a defect in the run of this edition. I ordered, discovered the defect, returned for a replacement, and the replacement had the same defect. It skips at least half of the "b's", jumping about 60 pages, then continues for about 30-40 pages, and repeats the same 30-40 pages again before continuing with the rest of the book.
Rated by buyers -
Showing definitions of every single word used in the works fo Shakespeare, it also shows where they are used throughout the works. A glossary and concordance in one! A must-have for any student, actor, director, or anyone else needing guidance.
