Displayed panels look at such areas of Shakespeare's language as greetings, swear-words and terms of address. Plot summaries are included for all Shakespeare's plays and on the facing page is a unique diagramatic representation of the relationships within each play.
Customer Reviews
A must for any actor or academic
Shakespeare's Words is easily one of the best glossaries on the market. The particular feature I love are the circles of relationships towards the back - they make the interactions of the characters so much easier to understand. The digital version is great, though the circles are a bit too small on the iPhone screen (fine on the iPad). Would highly recommend this to anyone dealing with Shakespearean texts.
