Welcome

   
 

Welcome to the new website of Shakespeare's Words, the online version of the best-selling glossary and language companion.

The site integrates the full text of the plays and poems with the entire Glossary database, allowing you to search for any word or phrase in Shakespeare's works, and in particular to find all instances of all words that can pose a difficulty to the modern reader.

 

We are constantly tinkering with the site, and adding to it as best we can.

Since the 2.0 version relaunched in May 2008, we have added a much-needed Print Screen facility, enabling users to easily print-out scenes or speeches, with or without definitions, as they choose.

Many thanks indeed to those of you who have contributed to the site - these help us maintain and update the site (ahem) as you like it.

 

 
   

We hope you enjoy using it.
