Women in Shakespeare: A Dictionary
Alison Findlay, Women in Shakespeare: A Dictionary (Arden Shakespeare, March 2010, paperback, 2013 )
Women in Shakespeare: A Dictionary is a comprehensive reference guide to Shakespeare and women. It is an A-Z of over 350 entries that explores the role of women within Shakespearean drama, how women were represented on the Shakespearean stage, and the role of women in Shakespeare’s personal and professional lives.
“This encyclopaedic and critically sophisticated survey of women and womanhood in Shakespeare offers a uniquely invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.” – Professor Stanley Wells, CBE, Chairman, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK
“This is a rich and inventive book, offering much more than the dictionary function suggested by its title. It is astonishingly thorough and some of its entries… are in effect mini essays.. an impressive achievement and a very rewarding read.”
Lisa Hopkins, Shakespeare Quarterly 63:2 (2012)
