The Elizabethan Era
The Elizabethan era was a time of great change in England. The country was experiencing a period of economic growth and expansion, and the arts and sciences were flourishing. William Shakespeare was born in 1564, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He was a product of his time, and his plays reflect the values and beliefs of the Elizabethan era.
The Elizabethan Language
The Elizabethan language was a rich and complex language. It was influenced by Latin, Greek, and French, and it contained many words that are no longer used today. Shakespeare was a master of the Elizabethan language, and he used it to create some of the most beautiful and enduring works of English literature.
The Pronunciation of Shakespeare's Plays
The pronunciation of Shakespeare's plays has changed over time. The way that Shakespeare's plays were pronounced in the Elizabethan era is different from the way that they are pronounced today. This is due to a number of factors, including changes in the pronunciation of English and the influence of different acting traditions.

It provides a comprehensive guide to the pronunciation of Shakespeare's plays, and it contains detailed notes on the Elizabethan era and its language. With this work, the reader can gain a deeper understanding of Shakespeare's plays and appreciate the richness of his language.
