A justly famous aid to the study of Shakespeare, this
glossary--originally compiled by C.T. Onions, an editor of the
Oxford English Dictionary--clarifies those words in Shakespeare
whose senses or connotations may be unfamiliar to the modern
reader, paying special attention to dialect forms, idioms, and
colloquial phrases. Original in its explanations and illuminating
in its definitions, the Glossary brings out the richness and
subtley found in Elizabethan English. Incorporating the many
advances made in the field since the last (revised) edition was
published in 1919, this volume reveals new facts about the meanings
of words in Shakespeare, alters previous interpretations, and
resolves earlier controversies. In addition, the book takes
advantage of two highly accurate, computer based concordances that
make every occurrence of each word immediately accessible for
investigation and comparison. A reference work without peer, the
Glossary is an essential source for students, scholars, playgoers
and readers of Shakespeare, and those interested in the history of
the English language.
