Shakespeare's Dictionary?



George Koppelman and Dan Wechsler may have found a dictionary owned and annotated by William Shakespeare. If this assertion is true, this book could provide insight into how Shakespeare crafted his plays, poems, and sonnets, all of which feature his highly inventive wordplay and have shaped how modern English is used today.

Koppelman and Wechsler spent the last six years researching Shakespeare’s works and connecting with other experts. They have completed a careful analysis of the handwriting, paying special attention to ‘personal markers’ left by the annotator. The majority of their claim for Shakespeare’s dictionary lies in their analysis of the linguistic elements, the annotations which apparently show uncanny correlations to the Bard’s body of work.
