Description

""A Letter to David Garrick: Concerning a Glossary to the Plays of Shakespeare, on a More Extensive Plan Than Has Hitherto Appeared"" is a book written by Richard Warner in 1768. The book is a letter addressed to David Garrick, an English actor and playwright, discussing the need for a more comprehensive glossary to the plays of William Shakespeare. Warner argues that the existing glossaries are inadequate and do not provide enough information for readers to fully understand the language and references used in Shakespeare's plays. He proposes a more extensive plan for a glossary that would include not only definitions of words, but also explanations of historical and cultural references, as well as notes on the context and themes of each play. The book is a valuable resource for anyone studying or interested in Shakespearean literature and language.To Which Is Annexed, A Specimen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
