Book Reviews of Shakespeare's Words: A Glossary and Language Companion
Book Review: A Comparison
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is very helpful if a reference or translation is needed. Excellent for papers, research, teachers, highly recommended for professors and college students. In comparison with the Lexicon Edition by Alexander Schmidt, Lexicon is easier to reference than this book is but you also need to pay close attention to the two volumes. Still I now own both and would recommend either to anyone who needs a reference to Shakespearian language. For in depth studies of plays or this time period I would recommend a Companion to Shakespeare, the Bedford, and the Oxford are two I currently own because of the difference in information they cover.
