Still often used today, German schoolmaster and philologist
ALEXANDER SCHMIDT's (1816-1887) Shakespeare Lexicon is the source
for elucidating the sometimes cryptic language of Shakespeare and
tracking down quotations. Volume 2 covers M through Z, from "Mab:
the queen of the fairies" to "Zounds: an oath contracted from God's
wounds," and features numerous appendices and supplements on
grammar and usage. Every word from every play and poem is
cataloged, referenced, and defined in this exhaustive two-volume
work, the result of arduous research and stalwart dedication.
Serious scholars and zealous fans will find the Lexicon the
ultimate guide to reading and decoding the Bard.
