| In a simple A-Z format, this guide to the plays, poems and the world of Shakespeare explains all the terms used in Shakespearean study, from GCSE to degree level. It describes the role of every character, from non-speaking cameos to Hamlet, and gives half-page synopses of each play. The entries also cover Shakespeare's sources; literary terms used in studying the plays and poetry; contemporary playwrights and actors; and later critics and editors. Plus a 'filmography' of modern productions and adaptations.
