Product Description

William Shakespeare and his works are undoubtedly some of the most studied topics in history. This new reference includes terms related to Shakespeare's historical context that previous dictionaries have not provided such as Elizabethan age, Renaissance, and humanism. Entries on drama include vocabulary such as morality play and tragedy. Historical theatrical terms like apron stage and tiring house as well as critical terms that are often misunderstood and incorrectly used are all included, along with entries for Shakespeare's plays and characters. Illustrations show Shakespeare's theaters and how certain historical stage effects were used.
