The ring of truth meets the well-turned phrase in this compendium of nearly four hundred brief selections from the plays and sonnets of Shakespeare.Included are familiar as well as lesser known gems, arranged in such sections as "Virtues and Vices," "Words and Deeds," "Commerce and Coin," "Men and Women," "Jealousy and Hate," "Passion and Lust," and "Life and Death."Brief notes on each section explain difficult language and place the quotation within the context of the primary source. The notes also indicate the play, act, and line number of each citation, as well as the speaker, so Shakespeare lovers can play a game of "who said it." And all the entries are cross-referenced by play, so the book also serves as a Shakespeare quotation dictionary.
