This dictionary is the first comprehensive description of
Shakespearean original pronunication (OP), enabling practitioners
to deal with any queries about the pronunciation of individual
words. It includes all the words in the First Folio, transcribed
using IPA, and the accompanying website hosts sound files as a
further aid to pronunciation. It also includes the main sources of
evidence in the texts, notably all spelling variants (along with a
frequency count for each variant) and all rhymes (including those
occurring elsewhere in the canon, such as the Sonnets and long
poems). An extensive introduction provides a full account of the
aims, evidence, history, and current use of OP in relation to
Shakespeare productions, as well as indicating the wider use of OP
in relation to other Elizabethan and Jacobean writers, composers
from the period, the King James Bible, and those involved in
reconstructing heritage centres. It will be an invaluable resource
for producers, directors, actors, and others wishing to mount a
Shakespeare production or present Shakespeare's poetry in original
pronunciation, as well as for students and academics in the fields
of literary criticism and Shakespeare studies more generally.
