This excellent volume of Shakespeare quotations is organized into Keyword headings. Unlike most dictionaries which are divided into the Plays,this one is rather in the form of a Thesaurus.
Thus under WAR,are to be found 20 quotations which pertain to that subject. CROWN,gives us (among quite a few others),King Henry - Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. II Henry IV,III,1:31
Used in conjuncture with (say) 'Everyman's Dictionary of Shakespeare Quotations. by D.C.Browning,this pair of books show more will give the interested reader pretty well all the Shakespeare quotations they will ever need. show less
This is a solid, basic dictionary that is reasonably thorough for its size.
