This is probably one of the most comprehensive Shakespeare reference books I have seen. Not only does it provide an exhaustive glossary of words whose definitions are sure to challenge your comfortable, established understanding of the plays, but it is also replete with essential and fascinating information: plot summaries, character relationships, explanations of settings, classical and mythological allusions - even an overview of the plants that play so important a role in some of the works. If you really want to guide your students to have a more intimate knowledge of the Bard and his works, this book is an absolute necessity.
