Incorporating nearly 3,000 entries and more than 50 illustrations, it provides comprehensive information on all facets of Shakespear's life and works: Every play, from All's Well That Ends Well to The Winter's Tale, each entry includes a complete scene by scene synopsis, a critical commentary, discussions of the play's sources, variations in its text, and its theatrical history; Every Shakespearean character, from Aaron to Young Talbot, including those without speaking parts; Contemporaries of Shakespeare, including family members, acquaintances, colleagues and prominent members of Elizabethan society; Theatrical and literary terms relevant to Shakespeare scholarship, such as blank verse, soliloquy and tragedy; Leading actors, producers and directors, such as Elizabeth Barry, Charles Calvert and Lord Olivier, who have brought Shakespeare's characters to life over the centuries; Authors, scholars and publishers having any relevance to Shakespeare studies; Places, real and fictional, important in Shakespeare's life and works; The poems of Shakespeare, including the sonnets and book-length verse works; Every other topic relating in any way to Shakespeare's life and ocuvre. In addition, the book is thoroughly cross referenced, and an Appendix lists every entry by subject category. Thoroughly grounded in scholarship, Shakespeare A to Z is accessible to students, teachers, writers, theatre enthusiasts and general readers. Highly readable as well as authoritative, it is sure to become the standard reference in the field." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flap. "A monumental scholarly reference, Shakespeare A to Z is the one book to consult for thorough, readable information on everything pertaining to the life, times, works and literary heritage of William Shakespeare. Here, for the first time in one volume, a researcher or enthusiast may find exhaustive material on obscure and well know subjects, such as: Mucedorus, and anonymous play formerly attributed to Shakespeare that burlesques pastoral romance and tales of chivalry; Cordelia, the virtuous daughter whom King Lear mistakenly rejects; William Henry Ireland, a lawyer's clerk who in 1794 forged a number of documents relating to Shakespeare; Henry Irving, London's leading Shakespearean actor and producer for the last quarter of the 19th century; Birnam Wood, the forest that "moves" to Dunsinane castle in Act V of Macbeth; THomas Thorpe, London bookseller and publisher who produced the first edition of Shakespeares' sonnets, in 1609. Enormous in scope and clearly written, Shakespeare A to Z is an essential addition to every school, public, theatre and personal library." -- from the rear outer jacket. Goddard, Tom (jacket design); (illustratore).
