Description
William Shakespeare has been voted
man of the millennium. His work is studied by almost every student at school and
there are hundreds of degree-courses in Shakespeare. Recent films (such as
Shakespeare in Love) are providing a great deal of public interest in the man
and his works.
This new dictionary includes over 1500 entries that cover the terms used in the
theatre and stagecraft together with entries for all of Shakespeare's plays and
poems, terms from Elizabethan history and society, Shakespeare's main
characters, and terms used in critical reviews.
Each of the encyclopaedic entries provides a clear explanation of the term, its
origins, relevance and use. This dictionary has been carefully written in a
non-technical way to ensure that all levels of student and enthusiast will find
the entries clear and uncomplicated. It would be an ideal companion to any
school student, up to degree level.
The entries help explain all the terms used in Shakespeare's texts and in their
execution and so provides the historical context required to give a reader a
full background of the term. This sets the dictionary apart from the competition
that concentrate either on a single play (as in schools texts) or on the
biographies of his characters. No other title explains the range of theatrical,
historical and related terms.
A supplement
includes a map of the theatres in Elizabethan London; a chronology of
Shakespeare's life and times; a chronological list of Shakespeare's
plays; a chronology of English Kings and Queens from 1327-1603; a list
of public playhouses; and a bibliography.
Each of the
entries provides a clear explanation of the term, its origins, relevance
and use. Dictionary of Shakespeare has been carefully written in
a non-technical way to insure that all levels of student and researcher
will find the entries clear and uncomplicated.
The entries help explain the terms used in Shakespeare's texts and in
their execution and so provide the historical context required to give
the reader a full background of the term. This feature sets the
dictionary apart from others on the same subject that concentrate either
on single plays or on biographies of his characters. No other title
explains so great a range of theatrical, historical, and "Shakespearean"
terms.
