By Richard Warner and Dr Richard Warner

Book Overview

""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 and published in 1768. The book is a letter addressed to David Garrick, a famous actor and playwright of the time, in which Warner proposes a new and more comprehensive glossary to accompany the plays of William Shakespeare. The proposed glossary would provide explanations and definitions for the many archaic and obscure words and phrases used in Shakespeare's works, making them more accessible to modern readers and audiences. Warner argues that previous glossaries have been insufficient and often inaccurate, and that his proposed glossary would be a valuable resource for anyone studying or performing Shakespeare's plays. The book is a valuable historical document, shedding light on the way Shakespeare's works were understood and interpreted in the 18th century, and it remains a useful reference for scholars and enthusiasts of 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.
