A Brief Shakespearean Glossary, Grammar and Booklet of Other Information Necessary to Students Robert Huntington Fletcher

This rare antiquarian book aims to present in an accessible way some of the more important elements of information conducive to the study and correct understanding of Shakespeare?s seminal plays. Written with the intention that it should be given to students at the start of their study, the author believes it is most useful when given to students with directions to learn a small part each day up until the point when they have mastered at least the most significant portions of the glossary and grammar. The Glossary includes, with detailed definitions, the most important words which Shakespeare uses in senses which differ from the present-day definitions and may therefore cause some trouble for modern students. A brilliant guidebook for students of Shakespeare and for those who want to get the most out of their Shakespearean readings, this fascinating book also makes a great addition to any bookshelf. This text was originally published in 1913, and is proudly republished here complete with a new introduction to the subject.
