New Shakespearean Dictionary

We love this new dictionary! It contains over 4000 Shakespearean words with sentences taken from the 12 most popular plays. As well as explaining and defining, the vocabulary of Shakespeare is put into context and provides plenty of information about Elizabethan society. The colours and illustrations are beautiful too. Highly recommended.
