[share_ebook] The Shakespeare Name Dictionary (Paperback edition)

Description

Review
"The Dictionary, a valuable addition to the seemingly saturated field of Shakespeare reference, explains it all in engaging, informative articles." -- Wilson Library Bulletin

A guide to the historical, mythological, fictional, and geographic references that appear in Shakespeare's complete plays and poems, covering every name, proper adjective, official title, literary and mystical title, and place name. Entries describe historical and mythological allusions, examine the Shakespearean slant given to a person or place, and suggest various interpretations of a name. Historical individuals are described according to what is presently known about their lives. Shakespeare's deviations from historical facts are pointed out, as well as their likely origin. Each entry contains line citations to William Shakespeare: The Complete Works, edited by Wells and Taylor, Oxford U. Press, 1986.
–Book News, Inc.

Davis and Frankforter list every name, proper adjective, official title, literary and musical title, and place name appearing in Shakespeare's plays and poems. Packed with information, recommended for all levels.

Product Description
The authors cover everything: characters (Touchstone, the clown in As You Like It), places (Tours, the French city mentioned in Henry VI), animals (Tray, one of King Lear's three dogs), buildings (the Tower of London), officials (Roman Tribunes), rivers (the Trent), nationals ("Transylvanian"), nicknames (Monsieur Traveller, applied to Jaques in As You Like It), astrological groupings (Trigon, an astrological group of three signs), and much more. The Shakespeare Name Dictionary identifies them all in full, readable entries. The authors' coverage includes such information as the historical errors in Shakespeare's plays, as well as variant interpretations of names. Line references in the plays are keyed to the Oxford Shakespeare. With fuller coverage than anything currently available, The Shakespeare Name Dictionary-available in paperback for the first time--is the ultimate guide to the plays.
