Why are certain words used as insults in Shakespeare's world and
what do these words do and say? Shakespeare's plays abound with
insults which are more often merely cited than thoroughly studied,
quotation prevailing over exploration. The purpose of this richly
detailed dictionary is to go beyond the surface of these words and
to analyse why and how words become insults in Shakespeare's world.
It's an invaluable resource and reference guide for anyone
grappling with the complexities and rewards of Shakespeare's
inventive use of language in the realm of insult and verbal
sparring.
