A comparative reference guide to Shakespeare’s grammar, based on a complete revision of an extremely elderly but still much-cited volume, Abbott’s Shakespearean Grammar, first published in 1869 and still regarded by default as an essential component of Shakespeare research. This volume meets the identified need for an authoritative and systematic grammar of Shakespeare which takes account both of current linguistic developments and of the current state of knowledge about Early Modern English and enable editors and readers both to understand and to contextualise Shakespeare’s use and manipulation of language, i.e. to locate it in the context of other writings in Early Modern English. '...should become part of every reader's, and certainly every teacher's, arsenal of central reference books' - Ruth Morse, Shakespeare Survey
