520 _a"A Glossary of Tudor and Stuart Words, Especially from the Dramatists" by Walter W. Skeat is a scholarly reference work written in the early 20th century. This glossary is a compilation of rare and archaic words from the Tudor and Stuart eras, particularly those found in the works of prominent dramatists of the time. The focus of the book is on providing definitions, etymological insights, and references to literary contexts for these words, enhancing the understanding of the language used during this significant period in English literary history. The opening of the text includes an editor's preface that provides background on the creation of the glossary and the contributions of its original author, Walter W. Skeat. The preface recounts conversations between Skeat and the editor, A. L. Mayhew, about the need for a glossary that would assist readers in navigating the difficult vocabulary in early modern English plays. It touches upon the meticulous work Skeat had begun, noting words he compiled during his reading of various plays, and discusses the plans of Mayhew to finalize the glossary posthumously by restructuring and updating the original material while respecting Skeat's intentions. This introduction serves to establish the value of the glossary as a resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of Tudor and Stuart language.
