Still often used today, German schoolmaster and philologist ALEXANDER SCHMIDT's (1816-1887) Shakespeare Lexicon is the source for elucidating the sometimes cryptic language of Shakespeare and tracking down quotations. Volume 1 covers A through L, from "a: the first letter of the alphabet" to "Lysimachus," a proper name. Every word from every play and poem is cataloged, referenced, and defined in this exhaustive two-volume work, the result of arduous research and stalwart dedication. Serious scholars and zealous fans will find the Lexicon the ultimate guide to reading and decoding the Bard.

This review is from: Shakespeare Lexicon, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I bought this book because I'm a theatre major in college, and it is absolutely indispensable if you are performing any Shakespeare. This book along with volume 2 are like dictionaries of almost every word written in a Shakespeare play, sonnet, or poem. They are extremely helpful when paired with All the Words on Stage: A Complete Pronunciation Dictionary for the Plays of William Shakespeare and a good copy of the play with notes such as The Riverside Shakespeare, 2nd Edition or the No Fear series.
