A glossary of Tudor and Stuart words, especially from the dramatists

"A Glossary of Tudor and Stuart Words, Especially from the Dramatists" by Walter W. Skeat is a reference book that explains old and uncommon words from the Tudor and Stuart times, mostly from plays. It gives definitions, the history of the words, and examples from literature to help people understand the language used in English plays from that time. The beginning has an editor’s introduction that talks about how Walter W. Skeat started putting the glossary together, noting that he and A. L. Mayhew discussed how helpful it would be to have a resource that explained all the hard vocabulary in older English dramas, and the introduction also explains how Mayhew planned to finish it after Skeat's death, ensuring it stayed true to Skeat’s original ideas. Readers will find insight into the meanings of words and their uses during that time by looking into this glossary.
