Excerpt from A New Shakespearean Dictionary I have aimed at helping those who wish to read Shakespeare in a scholarly spirit, with a full understanding of the sense, and at providing the means of forming an accurate idea of the extent to which the Shake spearean vocabulary differs from our own, and of the details of the difference. The Shakespearean language is, to an extent greater than is sometimes supposed, a dead tongue to us; and can be thoroughly mastered only by study with the aid of grammar, dictionary and com ment. In the matter of grammar the student's needs are amply supplied; there is at his disposal a body of comment, of varying excellence, it is true, but of great extent; but there seems to be room for a dictionary on the lines of the present work, showing the results of a reconsideration of the vocabulary in the light of recent research. In particular the time seems to have come for a fresh treatment of the subject in view of the fact that the New English Dictionary, to which further reference is made below, is so far advanced towards completion. So far as I am aware this is the first work of the kind on a considerable scale in which the materials furnished by the Dictionary have been systematically drawn upon, and in which the scientific guidance to the treatment of the words which it affords has been fully made use of - a feature which may of itself be thought to entitle the book to some consideration.

Excerpt from A Shakespeare Glossary To make a selection of words and meanings that should satisfy all, and to carry out their illustration in a perfectly consistent manner, would be alike impossible, even with an expenditure of double the time that has been given to the present book, the compilation of which has occupied the full working days of a year and a half. It is hoped, however, that the oversights and inconsistencies inevitable in a book which, although of slender dimensions, comprises close upon ten thousand separate articles, will not prove to be so numerous or so serious as to impair its general accuracy and usefulness.

Excerpt from Shakespeare-Lexicon a Complete Dictionary of All the English Words, Phrases and Constructions in the Works of the Poet, Vol. 1 The present work, as differing from the existing Shakespearian glossaries, the object of which has been only to explain what has become obsolete and unintelligible in the writings of the poet, is to contain his whole vocabulary and subject the sense and use of every word of it to a careful examination. As it was not intended to establish a critical standard, but only to furnish some of the necessary materials for criticism, it seemed convenient to lay aside, for the present, the question of the authenticity of the works generally ascribed to Shakespeare, and to consider as genuine all that has been commonly printed together as Shakespeares, namely the thirty six plays of the first and second Folios, together with Pericles, and the so called Poems; but to disregard the apocryphal pieces of the latest Folios as well as those which the criticism of still later times has brought into connection with the name of the poet. The stage-directions, too, even those of the earliest editions, have been left unnoticed, as it appeared more than doubtful whether they were written by Shakespeare himself.

Excerpt from A Glossary to the Works of William Shakespeare Among the difficulties incident to a glossarist not the least is that of determining the nicer shades of meaning in which many words are used; and very probably some philologers may think that I have occasionally made distinctions where none in fact exist, and sometimes confounded what ought to have been kept distinct. Nor do I feel sure that sundry other things will not be objected to, and perhaps with justice, in such a mass of omnigenous matter as the following pages comprise.

Excerpt from A Shakespeare Word-Book: Being a Glossary of Archaic Forms and Varied Usages of Words Employed by Shakespeare The derivation of words is given only in obscure cases where it is considered that their etymology may to some extent illuminate their meaning. The treatment of the subject, therefore, even in the instances given, does not profess to be so exhaustive as to satisfy a philological expert.

Shakespeare's Books contains nearly 200 entries covering the full range of literature Shakespeare was acquainted with, including classical, historical, religious and contemporary works. The dictionary covers works whose importance to Shakespeare has emerged more clearly in recent years due to new research, as well as explaining current thinking on long-recognized sources such as Plutarch, Ovid, Holinshed, Ariosto and Montaigne. Entries for all major sources include surveys of the writer's place in Shakespeare's time, detailed discussion of their relation to his work, and full bibliography. These are enhanced by sample passages from early modern England writers, together with reproductions of pages from the original texts. Now available in paperback with a new preface bringing the book up to date, this is an invaluable reference tool.
