Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Compendium and Concordance of the Complete Works of Shakespeare: Also, an Index of Every Character in the Dramas and Where They Appear
This arrangement for busy men and women will possess at least the recommendation of novelty, and we think will be found generally useful, when any play of Shakespeare is spoken of, to be able at a few minutes' notice to compass an understanding of all the chief characters and the plot of the drama. The concordance embodies all the familiar phrases most currently quoted - treated by catchwords, leading to the quotations, alphabetically arranged; and these quotations are furthermore elaborately indexed, so that if any important word of any popular quotation be remembered, the searcher is likely to find it in this concordance. A separate concordance on index or charac ters will be found following the general Concordance of Familiar Quotations. This, we believe, is the first time that all the characters in Shakespeare's works have been brought together and registered each in the proper place.
