Summary, etc: Actors desire to be understood, but when asked to pronounce words like 'chanson', 'phantasime' or 'quaestor', many can be left speechless. This book aims to untie those tongues and help anyone to speak Shakespearean English with ease. The entries, over 17,000 of them, show how to pronounce Shakespeare's words in American English.
