Originally published in 1822, Robert Nares' glossary of antiquated
Elizabethan terms is the result of a personal interest in and love
of Elizabethan literature. Nares (1753 1829), well known as a
scholar and clergyman, was also a keen philologist and antiquary.
This glossary was undertaken in his spare time, and compiled over
forty years as he was often occupied with various academic and
clerical duties, including founding the British Critic and editing
it for twenty years (1793 1813), and becoming Keeper of Manuscripts
at the British Museum (1799 1807). It has long been a useful guide
for the 'average reader' (in his own words), as its several
reprintings during the nineteenth century demonstrate. His love of
the English language was reflected in his previous work, Elements
of Orthoepy (1784), which concerned itself with ascertaining
correct pronunciation from Shakespeare's time onwards and exploring
contemporary variations in the language.
