It also features an all-new chapter, ""Introduction to Shakespeare and His Language,"" which provides essential background on Shakespeare's life and works, as well as an in-depth discussion of how modern readers can approach his works in order to best understand and enjoy them.The entries in this book feature: definitions of words as they are used in the texts; a Shakespearean quote placing each defined word or phrase in context; the word's part of speech; and, variant usages. Its coverage includes geographical references, historical and mythological figures, and foreign-language expressions.
