Book Description
A Shakespearian Grammar: An Attempt to Illustrate Some of the Differences between Elizabethan & Modern English
The finest and fullest guide to the peculiarities of Elizabethan syntax, grammar, and prosody, this volume addresses every idiomatic usage found in Shakespeare's works (with additional references to the works of Jonson, Bacon, and others). Its informative introduction, which compares Shakespearian and modern usage, is followed by sections on grammar (classified according to parts of speech) and prosody (focusing on pronunciation). The book concludes with an examination of the uses of metaphor and simile and a selection of notes and questions suitable for classroom use. Each of more than 500 classifications is illustrated with quotes, all of which are fully indexed. Unabridged republication of the classic 1870 edition.
Edwin Abbott
Edwin Abbott: A scientist, professor, and specialist in theology. Many books have been published for him, but “Flat Earth” remains his most famous work. Abbott was born in 1838 AD, and joined at the age of twelve at the City School of London, and quickly showed excellence, especially in mathematics, and in 1857 AD he received a scholarship from the University of Cambridge, where he focused on classical studies. Abbott was ordained a priest in 1863, but he still earned a living as a teacher, and earned a good reputation for his work. He died in 1926.
