Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a key text for the appreciation of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, offers a journey through the language and customs of the period. It is a work of great historical interest that sheds light on Elizabethan and Jacobean society. Originally compiled as an aid to understanding the complexities of Shakespeare's texts, it grew into a wider study, providing historical and etymological context for hundreds of words, phrases, and customs. The author has not confined himself to the most recondite expressions but has also expounded on more common language, illustrating his observations with extensive quotes and literary examples. The result is not merely a book of reference but also an engrossing account of the fascinating linguistic and cultural landscape of the time. The insights within this book will enhance the reading experience of the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, helping readers to appreciate the depth and richness of the language of the era.
