Reviews

[Alan Johnson]

The title of this book is somewhat misleading. It is not a dictionary of Shakespearean language but rather a dictionary of names of Shakespearean characters and plays as well as of historical personages related in some way to Shakespeare's literary productions. The print of this particular paperback edition is very small and the paper is not of good quality.
