SHAKESPEARE'S WORDS; A Glossary & Language Companion, written by a leading expert on the English language, David Crystal, and his actor son, Ben Crystal. The authors have collected over 14,000 words that may be difficult or ambiguous for the modern reader. Each word is glossed and illustrated by at least one quotation. Summaries of the plays and lists of characters are included. Best for keeping straight the action in the more complex plots, there is a unique diagrammatic circle for each play demonstrating the interaction of characters and their allegiances.
