Can you really call this a Dictonary of Shakespeare?,
By Sakura Sands "Keiko" (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dictionary of Shakespeare (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)
I bought this book to help me understand what Shakespeare says. If you have ever read Shakespeare, or had to perform it, then you understand what I mean. You won't learn what does "What tributaries follow him to Rome" mean. (Which by the way means "What Captive Princes follow him to Rome".) That simply isn't in this book.This is what I need a Dictionary of Shakespeare to do. All the information about Shakespeare and all references to his work isn't particularly helpful when you don't understand what "tributaries" are. I suggest you take a pass at this book.

This review is from: A Dictionary of Shakespeare (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)
I had hoped this dictionary would include a prounciation key to the words being defined, as most dictionaries do. Because of this shortcoming,the book will not be as useful a reference tool as I had hoped.
