T. Onions (rev. 1986 by R. D. Eagleson)  \nThe text quotes (except for the sonnets, King Edward III, Sir Thomas More, and The Two Noble Kinsmen) are from The Arden Shakespeare, general editor Richard Proudfoot. For the sonnets, I have used The Oxford Shakespeare, edited by W.  \nJ. Craig (1966), A. L. Rowse’s Shakespeare’s Sonnets, Helen Vendler’s admirable edition, The Art of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, as well as Katherine Duncan-Jones’s recent Arden edition. For King Edward III I have used the Cambridge University Press edition, edited by Giorgio Melchiori; for Sir Thomas More, the Kessinger Publishing edition; and for The Two Noble Kinsmen, the text in The Riverside Shakespeare, edited by G. Blakemore Evans. In addition to the Riverside and Arden editions, I made use of several other outstanding onevolume editions of the plays and poems: Shakespeare, the Complete Works (Harcourt, Brace: G.  \nB. Harrison, ed.); The Complete Plays and Poems of William Shakespeare (Houghton Mifflin: William Allan Neilson and Charles Jarvis Hill, eds.); The Yale Shakespeare (Wilbur L. Cross and Tucker Brooke, eds.); and The Complete Works of Shake-  \nspeare (HarperCollins: David Bevington, ed.) . Also of substantial help were The Oxford Shakespeare (Standard Authors Edition, 1966) and The Works of Shakespeare (Oxford, Head Press Edition, 1938) .  \nOf considerable help, too, were Harley Granville-Barker’s perceptive Prefaces to Shakespeare; Hardi","cbCaifiUVWmBLIoA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifiUVWmBLIoA","pdf",5507650,657,"English","# Acknowledgments\n# Preface to the Second Edition\n# An Introduction to Shakespeare and His Language\n# Abbreviations\n# Shakespeare’s Works\n# Shakespeare’s Language\n## Chronology of the Plays & Poems of William Shakespeare (1564–1616)\n# Bibliography","[{\"question\":\"What does this book focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a glossary of unfamiliar words in Shakespeare’s plays and poems, aimed at helping readers understand early modern and obsolete vocabulary.\"},{\"question\":\"What kind of edition is included?\",\"answer\":\"The material is from the second edition, with a preface explaining updates since the first edition.\"},{\"question\":\"Which sources are acknowledged for preparing the glossary?\",\"answer\":\"The book credits major reference works such as the Oxford English Dictionary, Shakespeare lexicons and glossaries, and authoritative Shakespeare editions, along with additional dictionaries used for spelling and related details.\"}]","Shakespeare’s Language - Second Edition - A Glossary of Unfamiliar Words in His Plays and Poems | PDF",1789985359,1012]
