Recenzii

The authors show passionate attention to Shakespeare's language, a sound grasp of the historical and social background, and devoted bibliographical trawling... This is a delightful and useful volume; in every case the authors discuss the critical literature, provide helpful comment, and supply a splendid, though necessarily selective, bibliography.
Modeled on both demonologies and demonological thinking of the time, and in the context of the Bard's canon, this dictionary examines many aspects of magic and the ways in which these aspects informed Shakespeare's images, characterizations, and plots, creating "an entire genre in its own right, with its own politics and rules." Varying in length and alphabetically organized, the comprehensive, informative entries define the terms and offer multiple synonyms in see also references. A comprehensive bibliography and detailed index complete the book, which should interest any reader, scholar, or teacher of Shakespeare. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty.
It is a work that will be of great use to scholars of the sixteenth century English culture and of demonology.
