The focus is Shakespeare - in particular, case-studies of Romeo and Juliet, Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream, All's Well that Ends Well, and Troilus and Cressida - but the book also shows what Shakespeare inherited and where the topicdeveloped after him.Oxford Shakespeare topics.Names, Personal, in literatureEnglish languageEtymologyNamesLanguage and languages in literatureCharacters and characteristics in literatureLiterature and folkloreNames, Personal, in literature.English languageEtymologyNames.Language and languages in literature.Characters and characteristics in literature.Literature and folklore.822.3/3Maguire Laurie E680367MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824772103321Shakespeare's names4077133UNINA
