Given
the
saturation
of
Christian
thought
and
symbol
in
Shakespeare's
cultural
lexicon,
selecting
the
words
and
their
meanings
was
perhaps
more
difficult
for
Hassel
(Vanderbilt
Univ.)
than
for
other
authors.Cloister,
for
example,
may
have
obvious
Christian
significance,
but
the
theological
shades
of
meaning
in
words
such
asbeneathormemoryare
far
more
subtle.
This
lexicographer
does
a
fine
job
of
illuminating
these
nuances,
both
with
contextual
references
and
contemporary
commentary
from
writers
such
as
Henry
Bullinger,
John
Donne,
and
Lancelot
Andrewes.
Hassel
has
an
expansive
grasp
of
his
material,
making
reference
to
both
Catholic
and
Protestant
sources,
but
he
wisely
refrains
from
trying
to
tease
out
Shakespeare's
own
beliefs.
The
extensive
bibliography
of
primary
and
secondary
sources
is
useful
for
advanced
students
and
scholars.
The
specificity
of
the
subject
matter
makes
this
a
suitable
purchase
for
libraries
with
comprehensive
Shakespeare
collections
or
that
support
intensive
study
of
the
early
modern
period.Summing
Up:Recommended.
Upper-division
undergraduates
through
researchers/faculty.
The great strength of Hassel's dictionary is that it is more than a dictionary, stepping past vocabulary into context... scrupulous in explaining what words need not mean...quicker and handier than an online concordance...and goes well beyond a dictionary's basic briefs; the helpfully selective bibliography is particularly strong on recent criticism... it should retain long-term value as a reference work, both for those in search of proof texts and those fascinated by the sinuous operation of Shakespearean religious metaphor.
Chris Hassel is the right scholar to grasp the nettle of Shakespeare's religious language, since Hassel's authority where Shakespeare and religion are concerned is well established. This dictionary is a mine of helpful information, and everyone will learn something from it.
Hassel routinely includes cross-references to a helpful list of primary and secondary sources ... A dazzling index of all the works included lists them under each of Shakespeare's individual works. The serendipity of browsing through this volume will open up the subject of Shakespeare and religion for even the most casual of readers, and the expert might discover something new.
With entries ranging from 'abbess' to 'zeal', this thorough and thoroughly engaging dictionary promises to enlighten anyone keen on exploring the topic of Shakespeare's religious language.
This is an authoritative volume that will be an important addition to collections in Elizabethan literature and music
