Colleen and Kim Pillay at Pindar Press prepared the text for publication for which I am extremely grateful. I received excellent editorial advice in response to my draft entries and queries, a crucial element of the success of the Series. My first thanks must be to Sandra Clark, General Editor of the Shakespeare Dictionary Series and to Colleen Coalter and the staff at Continuum for allowing me freedom to mould the project, and for their patience in waiting for its completion. These different environments of management, teaching and personal research have all contributed to my appreciation of Shakespeare’s work while writing the dictionary.

Women in Shakespeare examines in detail the language employed by Shakespeare in his representation of women in the full range of his poetry and plays and the implications these representations have for the position of women in Elizabethan and Jacobean society. An A–Z of more than 350 entries explores the role of women within Shakespearean drama, how women were represented on the Shakespearean stage, and the role of women in Shakespeare’s personal and professional lives. Women in Shakespeare: A Dictionary is a comprehensive reference guide to Shakespeare and women. ‘This encyclopaedic and critically sophisticated survey of women and womanhood in Shakespeare offers a uniquely invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.’ Professor Stanley Wells, CBE, Chairman, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK
