页数：352现代英语由中古英语演变发展而来，莎士比亚作为使用早期现代英语的代表，在传承中古英语、促进早期现代英语的形成和发展、丰富现代英语等方面做出了不可磨灭的贡献，其文学作品体现了对中古英语在词汇和语法上部分特征的继承。他对这一时期的英语词汇大胆创新，并在作品中将新创的词广泛传播开来，对促进早期现代英语词汇的形成和发展做出了无人可及的贡献。

现今使用的许多单词都是由莎士比亚首次使用之后而进入英语词汇的，或是因为他的使用使原来的词义或词性发生了变化。此外，莎翁还创造出相当数量生动活泼、简洁精辟、色彩鲜明的短语或习语，极大地丰富了英语的表现力，也使其作品更富有情趣、诗意和魅力。 莎士比亚使用过的单词和句子都被后来的作者有意无意地引用，许多单词和句子在反复引用中固定了下来。有些作者在使用方式中再进行引申，使词意或句意得到了扩大。莎翁作品的语言丰富多彩，他不但是个遣词造句的高手，而且是个善用修辞的能手；作品中比喻、笑谑、拟人、双关语等别开生面，许多佳句音韵美妙，或表现鲜明形象，或者表达深刻哲理，更有利于他的作品语言在日常生活中的广泛传播和被人接受。 Oxford Illustrated Shakespeare Dictionary收录了莎士比亚作品中使用的4000多个词汇及含义，每个单词都附有相应的例句，皆取自《麦克白》《哈姆雷特》《罗密欧与朱丽叶》《仲夏夜之梦》《亨利五世》等12部广为人知的莎士比亚戏剧作品，方便读者理解、研究和学习。 本词典由英国著名语言学教授David Crystal及其戏剧演员Ben Crystal共同编写，将学术和戏剧结合在一起，独具特色。读者在了解时代背景的同时，也能够增加自身的词汇量。 本书荣获2015年Falstaff Awards，并入围2016年SLA Information Book Award。 Winner of Best Book, Publication, or Recording prize at the Falstaff Awards 2015 Shortlisted for the 2016 SLA Information Book Award
