Omschrijving
Winner of Best Book, Publication, or Recording prize at the Falstaff Awards 2015 and shortlisted for the 2016 SLA Information Book Award. This innovative dictionary is written by leading experts in linguistics and Shakespeare, David and Ben Crystal. It provides students with invaluable support while they read and understand Shakespeare's plays.
"Sometimes you find a book and think, 'Why didn't someone do this years ago?' The answer is probably that no-one else could have approached the job or seen it through to completion so magnificently. This is much more than a valuable resource to make Shakespeare's vocabulary accessible to students; it is so crammed with delicious snippets that it is a delight to browse."
"Savvy navigation tools, skilful indexing and clever colour coded referencing."
"Guaranteed to enhance enjoyment and understanding of Shakespeare's work."
"Stunningly useful book"
"A modern and dynamic approach to Shakespeare's language usage"
"It is not only scholarly and comprehensive, it is hugely enjoyable"
"A charming and deliciously meaty book, it's a must for every primary and secondary English and Drama classroom in my view, and essential for the school library too."
"It's a joyful celebration as much as an aid to teaching and learning and affectionate as it is scholarly"
David Crystal, well-known writer, editor, lecturer and broadcaster on the English language, is also honorary professor of linguistics at the University of Bangor. Among his many books are Think on my Words: Exploring Shakespeare's Language, (with his son Ben) Shakespeare's Words and The Shakespeare Miscellany and (with his wife Hilary) Wordsmiths and Warriors: the English-language Tourist's Guide to Britain. He was Sam Wanamaker Fellow at Shakespeare's Globe in 2003-4 and received an OBE for services to the English language. Ben Crystal is an actor, writer and producer. Along with books co-written with his father, he wrote a series of introductions to Shakespeare's plays for Arden called Springboard Shakespeare and his Shakespeare on Toast was shortlisted for the Educational Writer of the Year Award. He and his ensemble perform Shakespeare in original pronunciation - a first reading of Macbeth in OP was in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe - and give workshops around the world.
