Shakespeare Lexicon, Vol. 1

Still often used today, German schoolmaster and philologist ALEXANDER SCHMIDT's (1816-1887) Shakespeare Lexicon is the source for elucidating the sometimes cryptic language of Shakespeare and tracking down quotations.

Volume 1 covers A through L, from "a: the first letter of the alphabet" to "Lysimachus," a proper name.

Every word from every play and poem is cataloged, referenced, and defined in this exhaustive two-volume work, the result of arduous research and stalwart dedication.

Serious scholars and zealous fans will find the Lexicon the ultimate guide to reading and decoding the Bard.
